scene. Fast-forward to today and you’ll fi nd a
space that is equal parts cocteleria, taqueria,
and danceteria. Lively cocktail bar with
dancing & a vegan-friendly menu of tacos
& Latin-inspired small plates. A place that
isn’t just concerned with serving food and
drinks, they’re concerned with the culture
of Brooklyn. Super delicious tacos! Tuesday
happy hour is a particularly good bargain, but
worth the full price at any time. It’s a chance
to come together with old friends and new and
have a bite to eat, a drink and potentially a
dance party unlike any other in Brooklyn and
across New York City.
