I went in for a short stint to hear my friend DJ. I wasn't impressed with place unfortunately, because I hear good things about it. Maybe I'll try again on a more appropriate outing.

The Sangria is to die for, but the dancing and bands are always a lot of fun! Great happy hour and tapas.

Avoid the salsa nights. Go for flamenco. Practically the only place left. Not bad dancing. Food is sufficent. Drinks slow to come but oK.

Watch out for their margarita--super sweet with a punch. The next morning you thought you were sipping sweet candy, but find the hangover reminds you otherwise. Flamenco dancers are great. Dinner is okay, but a bit overpriced

Really good red sangria. Go for "Garage Comedy" on Monday nights. A complete mixed-bag: either you will laugh harder than you have in a while, or stare in wonder that ANYONE could think it was funny.
