La Paloma
C/Tigre 27
La Paloma recently celebrated its 100th birthday, despite the neighbourhood’s efforts to silence it. A walk through the surrealist red velvet-lined foyer reveals a lavishly restored belle époque theatre and dancehall complete with shimmering chandeliers and plush balconies. It’s a strange spectacle for those who arrive early – Grandma and Grandpa in full evening wear still foxtrotting after the ballroom sessions finish and the house and broken beats begin. On Thursday nights the Bongo Lounge DJs mix funk and Latin rhythms with psychedelic lights and live jazz, while Vegas-style go-go dancers compete for attention, while international DJs spin all sorts from electro to acid from 2am Friday to Sunday. The first Wednesday of the month sees the excellent Rawal Launch.
