| OTHER INFORMATION |
Age for admission with ID: 18 for ladies, 21 for men. Age 21
with ID for alcohol at the bar.
As Smiling David says:
"Don't stop smiling!".
And "DJ Mambo Mario B" always says: "Don't move to the music.
Let the music move you."
Please Note:
Since commercial clubs have high expenses and need to
make a profit in order to stay open and continue playing lots of salsa, they
will therefore cater to the customers who spend the most money. Mambo
dancers can help get what they want by spending more money at the bar, even if
it's sodas, fruit juices, virgin cocktails, water, sports drinks. You may
think you're smart by not buying anything at a club, or sneaking in a bottle of
water or liquor, but actually you are
pushing them to play more merengue, bachata, Reggaeton & English music, because customers
who prefer this music spend more money at the bar. If you want commercial
clubs to feature more salsa nights, you have to pay for it by purchasing
beverages at the bar. This is just simple economics.
