Duke’s Surf Bar

National Rum Day Celebrations

Posted by Aubrey Nagle on August 16th, 2012

Cuba Libre and Rum Bar are both celebrating National Rum Day today with boozy specials and events.

During their Caippy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m. Cuba Libre will be offering their 100+ list of rums and 30 rum cocktails for half price. Available only in the bar area, prices for the rum alone will run from $4 to $19 and mixed rum drinks will be $4.50 to $6. Cuba Libre’s usual Caippy Hour specials will be available including caipirinhas, caipiroskas and sakerihnas for $5 each, house wine and sangria, select beers for $4 and bar bites for $5 each.

Tonight Rum Bar is bringing together their own Adam Kanter with Han Dynasty’s Katie Loeb for a one night tiki pop-up called Duke’s Surf Bar to celebrate the national holiday. For the night 20 tiki drinks will be available for $10. If all goes well and Kanter finds a good locale, Duke’s Surf Bar could become a brick-and-mortar reality.

Could Duke’s Surf Bar Answer Our Tiki Dreams

Posted by Foobooz on July 19th, 2012

Next month Adam Kanter is holding a one night tiki pop-up at his Rum Bar. But the concept he’s dubbed Duke’s Surf Bar could be a permanent fixture if he finds the right location and funding.

Kanter’s idea for Duke’s is inspired by a couple bars he’s been to. The first is a Barbados surf bar which has a cool vibe, good music and of course an ocean view, but the drinks are terrible. In London he discovered Casita, a tiny bar with committed owners/bartenders who do the prep work during the day and make the drinks at night.

One possible location for Duke’s would be Rum Bar’s basement with an entrance from Moravian Street. That should make Jason happy as his dream tiki bar would be a “windowless room full of palm trees, liquor and Don Ho music.”

In the meantime be sure to check out the Duke’s Surf Bar pop-up set for Rum Bar on Thursday, August 16th. All of the 20 tiki drinks will be available for $10.

It would appear that tiki pop-ups are the new ramen pop-ups.

Mixologist Katie Loeb who is behind the tiki drinks at Han Dynasty is teaming up with Adam Kanter of Rum Bar to create a one-night tiki pop-up, Duke’s Surf Bar. The pop-up will happen at Rum Bar on Thursday, August 16th. All of the 20 tiki drinks will be available for $10.
