Among the mix of Rittenhouse's busy shopping and dining scene, Rum Bar Restaurant and Lounge offers a unique escape. Patrons can choose from an impressive selection of drinks featuring the title spirit, while enjoying light fare infused with the flavors of the islands.
The Bar
Boasting more than 80 varieties of rum, Rum Bar is an excellent place to go to sample this complex and often overlooked spirit. Two infused rums change weekly, offering such arresting flavors as blood orange, cucumber and chili pepper.
The Food
Pivoting on Caribbean influences, Rum Bar’s small-plate menu dishes out a fusion of island flavors and American favorites. Popular dishes include the habanero grilled cheese and the spicy avocado BLT.
And no Caribbean dining experience is complete without a plate of fried plantains. Try Rum Bar’s version as an appetizer.
