How many rooms are there at La Descarga?
There’s 2 rooms and one is closed-in you walk down a spiral staircase and there’s either instrument playing like jazz or the random burlesque show. This one is usually crowded. The other is a covered patio/courtyard that’s also crowded but it’s the more fun spot bc people dance and they play all kinds of music and even some Spanish.
How much is a drink at La Descarga?
Delicious but potent, what else do I need to say more 😉 considering all the freebie experiences, drinks were very reasonably priced, ranging from $11-16. Even more reasons to love this place! By the end of the night, everybody was up and dancing in the main area. Some people really knew how to dance, it was a show in itself!
Is there a cigar room at La Descarga?
It was like a maze going from room to room. They have two big bars, but if you’re not a smoker, I would highly highly recommend staying away from the bar in the back as its known as the cigar room with no ventilation whatsoever.
What makes the crowd at La Descarga so fun?
This one is usually crowded. The other is a covered patio/courtyard that’s also crowded but it’s the more fun spot bc people dance and they play all kinds of music and even some Spanish. The crowd usually consists of people dressing up a bit and I love this because it makes a place feel more elevated when people actually tried.
