Havana Libre closes their doors after less than half a year

10 February 2014 11:28pm Havana Libre

After a disappointingly short run, Havana Libre on 10th Ave looks to have closed for good. Only a few months ago in September we saw them gearing up to open, and now it’s gone full circle with papers back up in the windows. The place posted this terse message on Facebook last month:

Havana Libre is dead

It sure looks that way:

You’d almost think nothing’s changed since last year:

The worst part is the place seemed to be pretty well liked by visitors, scoring a 5-​star rating on Yelp (the only true metric of success, obviously), but I guess they couldn’t get enough people in the door. Definitely one of the shortest lifespans in recent memory…
