It is a good place to go to. It is pretty good. If you want to get drunk go. If you want to dance also good. Depends what you want to do. The drag shows are also super funny! The men don't know what to do (lol) read more

This Sonora Dinamita is so FAKE! A group of us went to dance and see the authentic Sonora Dinamita. We arrived and the first lie was that online it said they accept credit card but only cash was accepted. We then asked how long before the Sonora Dinamita and we were told one hour. Three hours later an imposter Sonora Dinamita showed up. What a disappointment. This place is nasty and people are smoking inside. Don't waste your time or money. I don't recommend this place. Terrible customer service. read more

Evryone that complains about this place is because is not for you. This place is almost an staple here in gilroy. If it wasnt for rio nilo gilroy fridays night will be booring. I like when they have live bandas and thier drinks are not as expensive as other places i been. The crowd is a bit older but thats thier niche, and its a great place if you want to have fun. Pro tip: use thier free ticket with txt offer its worth it! read more

Only come here on a Sunday night. It's hilariously fun. Bring a date. Watch the show. Sit in the back at a table and watch the unsuspecting migrant workers get hammered to the tune of a drag show. Yes. Its a drag-show. What a show. Everyone is having fun and the performers put on a great act. I go here on dates sometimes and it's always gone well. Culture shock if you will! So bring a girl, or go with a group of friends. This place is always PACKED! !!!WARNING!!!! Bartenders are NOT gringo friendly! Especially towards males. Your fee will be doubled, or TRIPLE. For example: They have bomb margaritas. BOMB! Machine made, but strong! Margaritas go for $3 cash. COOL. Got a round for myself and a date. Got a second. Gave a ten and the asshole told me FOURTEEN DOLLARS! Holy shit. No friggen way. I paid, and had my date order drinks and that same prick didn't hike the price. Three bucks a pop for her. This wasn't the first time. My friend's dad was visiting from Germany so we thought we'd take him to El Rio Nilo on a Sunday night for Drag Night. He wanted tequila. Who wouldn't? Four shots for him, my friend, his sister, and myself. $20? No. FIFTY DOLLARS!!! $12.50/shot? Son of a bitch can listen to an order real fine in english but once we complained the guy pretends he doesn't speak english. Scam artist. My advice: Pre-game. Get drunk at the bar on 5th called Station 51. Or just buy booze and drink on the train tracks like a real man. Or woman. Or Human. Iunno. Just don't get ripped off and take home a tranny lol read more

Comes down to rude security and false Halloween costume contest advertisement that was canceled without a cancellation notification. If we would've known ahead of time of the cancellation, we would have gone elsewhere. read more

Rio Nilo Club - Dance Clubs Near Me - Gilroy, California

I like this place's music, and their drinks are good too, that said, they have promotions where you only pay such amount for $10 before 10 pm. But once we got there they didn't honor price and charged $30 instead. I mean if it's 30 regardless of whether you share flyer or not, then you come prepared with that amount. But the flyer clearly states that if you hate flyer it's 10 before 10 pm. We for in way before 10. Are they just looking for free advertising, we will still do it regardless, they don't have to lie about it. read more

See all

My husband and I went here to see Los Humildes in which I came across the announcement in Facebook. In the announcement it said if you send a text to a certain number you can get in for 5$ before 10 p.m. Well, I sent the text as soon as I seen it. We got there at 9:30 and the security asked if I had sent the text, I proudly showed him. He told me that it wasn't valid because I sent the text the same day. He explained that I needed to send the text 5 days prior, WTF, I told him that the announcement didn't say that. !! He said sorry ma'am not my rules. What an ASS****. We had no choice then to pay full price. If it was not a date night with my husband we would of left. One thing for sure, we will not return!!!!! Let it be a warning to all. !! Oh I forgot to mention, all tables had to be reserved with a 5 bucket of beers minimum or a bottle that cost 200$ . Is that even legal not having somewhere to sit?? NEVER NEVER EVER are we returning.. I rather spend my $ else where!!!!!!!!! read more

Rio Nilo Club - an image of a concert - Dance Clubs Near Me - Gilroy, California

I've been here two times. First visit was a few years ago because my husband was given free tickets to a private concert. That visit was okay, had fun but I had been to better night clubs. The second visit was very recent with some friends who invited us. At $6.00 a beer, I thought it was pricey. My friends and I are in our mid 20's and the crowd here is for sure older than that. The main band never showed up, so we danced to DJ all night, which truly needs help with his mixes. It was called naco...something. It would really take me several drinks to even think of going back to party here again. read more

They have good promotions but the bathrooms need to be fixed, we went on Saturday and it was really hot and smelly they didnt have any ac or any fans on they dont have any consideration for the clients read more

I frequent this place many times. Usually on Sundays. I know it says its closed but it really isnt. They close til 2am. Its free this night and the music and ambient is really nice. The drinks are a little pricey but cant complain. Music is great and I love banda. read more

Came here with the bf. I won't bash on it much cause his cousins frequent this place. They know the people that work there so we got in free but honestly I wouldn't come in if I had to pay. Choice of drink there for mostly everyone was coronas that come in a bucket. Mainly a sausage fest. read more

Rio nilo was a great place. My friends Francisco and Alex had a blast dancing with the wonderful ladies Sunday night. Will be back again! #makerionilogreatagain read more
