    View from the second floor of the Mama Rumba live band!

    This place is so fun! I visited on a recent trip to Mexico City and needed to stop here. If you enjoy salsa dancing, this place is a definite must visit. They have a live band and I was surprised at how packed the place was when we got there and it was only about 10pm. It got more and more crowded as the night went on. If you don't salsa dance yourself, you could just watch the band and all the people dancing, but may have a hard time finding a seat because of how packed this place gets!

    It's a hopping club that holds a swift 1-2 hour class by this amazingly petite and thunderous woman who can salsa anyone under the table. She's so good and convincing that she makes you feel like you can dance too... for a moment. After the intro the class moves upstairs for a round robin for about 45mins. By 11 the club is swinging with couples and a live band. If your not dancing or trying to you'd feel a bit out of place. Lively and crowded with so-do drinks. But what does that matter when you're having a sweaty good time?

    Good place for Salsa lovers. They have a live band with many songs and people really enjoy their music.

    Waitress at 6:54 pm on 07/22 was rude from the moment my partner and I walked in. Not only was she…read moreinattentive to us, never once checked up on us, but was on her phone and visibly irritated when asking for the check. She needs heavy retraining in customer service. A shame that this was my first impression of Mexico City. She didn't even offer a receipt, just took my card swiped it and even had the audacity to ask for a tip. lol (mind you in a condescending way). Out of being gracious, I have a tip but I hope she learns that people bring business to their establishment and can easily take it away. What a disappointing experience. Who is her supervisor? Would love to speak with them directly about her behavior. She's rude and I hope no other person that tries to bring business to them is treated the same way. Would LOVE to speak to a supervisor about her.

    This was one of the most uncomfortable and concerning experiences I've ever had…read more The bar was still open when my husband asked to use the restroom. The owner was in the bathroom area at the time and told him no. My husband respectfully asked why, since the place was still open and he genuinely needed to go. Instead of responding professionally, the owner became visibly aggressive and told him not to keep asking or he would send him back "in pieces." What makes this even more concerning is that this area is filled with tourists. It is definitely not worth visiting this place and risking your safety.. be aware of this " OWNER" who just hangs out in the bathroom. That's him the one looking at his phone!!!

    The best thing this nightclub has to offer is being open on Wednesdays. Since this is considered…read morethe best day, you could experience the horrible sensation of being ignored by the chain crew while trying to get in. Here are some observations about this "selective" system that has been used since immemorial times in the Mexican night scene. The procedure demands you to know the name of the main chain dude, in this case "Chepe" ( he most be 100 years by now... He's been a chain man 4ever). Don't look desperate, don't go with a group of only guys, try to book a table, wear fancy clothes, only hot girls will pass immediately, be prepared to be scanned by want to be cool people. Once inside the decoration has chandeliers, a 70s style dance floor, 3 bars in different areas, really good lighting, and a couple of good Djs. The last Dj was terrible, he was kind of good looking, with cero skills to make people dance. Playing argentinian music that late at night just made us go home. It's not a cheap place; a Chivas with soda and a Capitan Morgan with cola was around $500 with tip.

    Visited here last night (Wed. night, although it was after midnight, so technically Thurs, but I…read moredigress) after searching for some fun on Wed in CDMX. Apparently M-W are slow days, unless it's a holiday, but this club is the exception to that rule- the rest of the city was far quieter than the weekend prior (which was a holiday weekend for Benito Juarez's bday). Went to check it out with my bf in hopes of finding some good music to dance to, decent drinks, and a lively atmosphere. This was not your run-of-the-mill establishment, by far. If you are unaware, prostitution is legal in CDMX, and is rampant, but was never so apparent to me as it was at this club. It is located in Polanco, which is the high-end area of town with an uptown air to it, and the individuals that were attending this club represented that. We arrived around 00:45, and got past the first bouncer and the group waiting outside thanks to my ridiculously short skintight dress and thigh-high boots to the second bouncer inside. Cover is 350 pesos for guys ($17ish US) and girls are free. We got in after paying the cover, and the place was packed. It was overtly obvious after entering that many of the ladies there were working, or at least trying to find a customer, and there was a plethora of men searching for the right one, all well dressed, beautiful people-very high-end. It was an interesting crowd, for sure. Had a couple of drinks, a vodka soda and a 100 proof rum and diet, and each was around $7 US. The girls were thirsty and were hunting my bf whenever I was not around- so be aware if you're going with a significant other. Average age early 20s-late 30s. The music was great with a 70s style disco lighted dance floor. This is a smoking friendly establishment and you have to be conscious of others potentially burning you with their cigarettes. I danced my ass off, and it was fabulous. Kept getting checked out by the meat market bros who didn't realize I'm not on the market, but it's no big deal. Overall, I had a great time. People were still arriving as we left at after 3 am. I recommend it for great music, great people watching, and dancing. If I return to CDMX, I'll be back.
