  • This club is literally right upstairs from the Miramar Casa de la Música. It is a smaller venue than its downstairs neighbor and is generally a bit calmer, although when popular reggaeton acts are playing, the dance floor can get pretty frenetic. I like the place since you can bar perch and it is not ALL about the dancing. This is also a later night place going on all the way to 6am with waves of people coming and going.
