August 2026 - After 5@ Cuba Libre

Join MPI Greater Orlando for an unforgettable After 5 networking evening at Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar in Pointe Orlando, where the vibrant spirit of Old Havana comes alive. Mingle with fellow meeting professionals while enjoying authentic Cuban-inspired cuisine, lively conversation, and the warm, energetic atmosphere that has made Cuba Libre a favorite destination for food, culture, and celebration.

Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar launched in Philadelphia in 2000, followed by Atlantic City, NJ, in 2004, Orlando in 2008, and Washington, D.C. in 2010, giving guests a passport to Cuba's intriguing flavors and culture. The restaurant’s name, which translates to “a free Cuba,” signifies hope for the future of the treasured island nation. Cuba Libre’s mission is to provide an “escape” to Havana through exciting food, beverage and entertainment experiences that celebrate the Cuban people and culture. Two-time James Beard award-winner and Founding Chef Guillermo Pernot retired in late 2023, after many years preparing his successors, Culinary Directors, Kevin Couch and Angel Roque. Their menus feature tantalizing tastes that reflect Cuba’s culinary traditions, as well as emerging modern Cuban cuisine.
