Antik

San José


Set in a historical mansion that once belonged to a Venezuelan general, Antik offers a tri-level experience, with a basement catering to the EDM crowd, a main level pizza restaurant and an upper floor featuring Latin dance rhythms and a sweet balcony with city views. There are a couple of bars offering craft beer and excellent, reasonably priced cocktails.
