Very local, authentic and tasty! Not the place to stay for a long time chatting.... have a healthy quick breakfast, do your grocery shopping, and enjoy the rest of your day, like everybody else there! Very local and very authentic, love it! I go there at least once a week, just to have good food and energise my physical body! ;)

There are not many more or less "underground" clubs in Playa..... the good old times are dead.... but this is one of the most laid back and extrovertid old school underground club in Playa! Enjoy it, as long as you still can have it! We use to see crazy clubs around, but as all species in extension, they disappeared .... anyway, if you want to have a little bit of craziness, this is the place to be!
