The nite to go to Roccapulco is Friday Nite. Both
myself and my guy friend went and had a blast. It is unusual...since if it
is a good nite for the guys...that means too many women and if it is a good
nite for the women....too many men. Go figure. Well, Friday nite was a good
balance...and I went back again to find the same... it attracts pockets of
really great dancers (I love watching the groups that tend to hang out in
the corner by the DJ booth, they're probably in a performance group), and
the leads are good so you can learn different styles and tricks.

Naps III is a great place for Spanish and American
style karaoke, cheap drinks, bar tenders who like to do shots with you and
sometimes are far drunker than the patrons on the other side of the bar,
refuge from hipsters, a nice patio that's never as crowded as El Rio, and
for love to blossom... Good place to get away from the throngs at El
Rio/Roccapulco. Their backyard patio even lets you enjoy all the noise and
visuals without a cover... 1) The porch has plenty of seating and is not
crowded (unlike the porch at El Rio) 2) The drinks are strong and cheap 3)
The crowd is decidely un-hip (in a very good way) 4) Don't do anything to
piss off the locals.

This may be THE dive bar for daytime drinking. Tall
windows provide enough light for me to pull off wearing sunglasses inside
without looking like a total jackass (shhhh, let me live the lie). The crowd
is defintely salty but genuine... This is a great bar, it could almost,
almost replace my favorite bar. It's very inviting, the bartender is really
friendly,( he even bought me a drink), the bathrooms are really nice, and
extensivly painted ... Dive bare extraordinaire, with super friendly
bartenders and patrons. Expect to talk to the person on the stool next to
you, cuz this is a friendly kind of place. Charm is everywhere--Lovely mural
on the ladies room wall. The jukebox is always on, there's a bookcase with
some reads in the back, and the front table is always scattered with the
day's newspaper. International Club

I would strongly urge you to study up on your Spanish
before you go in. They are always blasting cool Mexican music, and everyone
looks like they are having a good time. You are unlikely to find cheaper
beer anywhere in the city. Coronitas

Yes, I only ever go here to get a drink whilst waiting
for a table at Emmy's, but El Amigo has become a beloved part of my Emmy's
ritual... Not that I hope that there's a wait when I go there, but the pain
of waiting for a table is dulled by the ice-cold budweisers and friendly
bartenders. Club Malibu
