La Sala

Antigua


Crowds move to Latin rhythms or EDM most nights at this boisterous hall, encouraged by the skills of the DJs and abundant cheap liquor (happy hour 5pm to 9pm nightly). There are frequent live bands, and every Sunday it's salsa night, with plenty of mojitos and a free dance lesson to get you moving.
