2 years agoReally fun, small club. We went on the Thursday and it was full. The music is upbeat Latin dancing/pop music. On DJ was good, the other was so-so. The drinks are $10 per shot, or $15+ for a mixed drink. Our cover was $15. Worth the entry fee.

3 years agoI had a great time here. I recently visited for my birthday with some friends. Parking was relatively easy to find in the area and it’s near the bridge too. I loved the live percussions which gave me a taste of clubs in Miami but minus the indoor smoking and minus the money machines. Haha. The also have red stripe which is a cool beer from Jamaica. The DJ played good music. I would visit this establishment again. The only thing that sucked was the $15 cover charge 🙃
