“ A great spot for dancing. Aside from the cover, it's a great bar for Latin music and hanging with friends. ”
“ I had read the mixed reviews here before coming to La Descarga but decided to give it a try with a small group of friends nonetheless and enjoyed it. The entrance fee was $20 and there was a little line of less than 10 minutes when we came in the late evening. It was perfect timing for the burlesque/salsa performances, we had a good time! Giving it 4 stars because of the surrounding area which also could make parking at night a bit undesirable unless it is a well lit spot. ”
“ Their website hours are incorrect, they open at 9pm. We and several others had a reservation at 8pm but they didn't open officially until 9. The speakeasy entrance is fun and the vibes are very prohibition meets old school Cuba. The back room has a cigar room where you can actually buy Cuban cigars to smoke. The front room has a live band and burlesque show but they started later than we expected - like 10:30pm instead of 10pm. The show was excellent though so quite worth it. I only tried a mojito for drinks but it was tasty! A fun place for a night out but beware if you're wearing heels, it's kind of same rules as a Vegas club. Only tables and seats if you do bottle service! ”
“ This place is always packed. Fast dancing, live band from mezzanine above, burlesque show on the second story stage. Drinks are flowing here, make sure you study up on some Peruvian or South American cocktails so you get something good to go with the vibe. Don't forget to light up a stick in the next room over, they have a smashing cigar bar that looks like a snapshot out of a 1960s movie. ”
“ Cuban themed speakeasy! Apparently on Tuesday nights this place teaches salsa lessons and then after the students can put the lessons to use with the live band that plays! This place was great, loved the variety of salsa music, not just Cuban! As the night got longer they even started playing reggaeton to keep the vibe going. I will totally be coming back here for a salsa night. Also, there was a cabaret show but unfortunately I missed it was told she uses fire too ”
“ I had a really good time. Salsa dancing in the front, with a live band and a burlesque show. WOW! I am just glad I was able to get in, place gets packed. Back room is open air - so people are smoking cigarettes and cigars. Not really my favorite but you are able to still breathe. A nice size bar an huge dance floor. Table booths against the wall. Rigo was very helpful! Alexis not so much. ”
