Mambo Club

Reminiscent of the heyday of '50s Latin nightclubs, this nostalgic venue still has the dramatic two-level stage for dancers to descend. The entire place is, in fact, a throwback to the '50s and if you're lucky to be here on a crowded night, the mambo rhythms emanating from the orchestra will have everyone up dancing. If you don't know how, there's an instructor on hand. Drinks are included in the entrance fee.

The Beatles Bar

The Beatles live again, every night at this restaurant/club, bordering Parque Josone. There's a live, cover band providing rock-and-roll and Beatles tunes pretty much all night long. Bring a camera and pose with the life-size bronze statues of the Fab Four here. There's also dancing indoors and outdoors on a large patio terrace.
