This fantastic dive bar from another era caters to the tourists, but we come here for the atmosphere, the cheap prices (cash only) and the bartenders. Opens at 7am!

Daniel is the best doorman ever created. Tactful, handsome, and looks out for the females in the bar. Army training's best exemplified.

Come here before 8.30 pm and get a delicious margarita for 3.50$ and listen to the house band after 8.30pm.

Live music great for sing-along. Saloon-like atmosphere so wear your jeans and boots. Delish fruit-flavored cocktail called the Wowo.
