    Bar San Ángel

    On the 2nd floor of an old building, San Ángel is too small to be a nightclub, but the atmosphere sure pushes in that direction. It's popular with locals who come for the live music Thursday through Saturday nights.

    This is where the locals go when they want to salsa, and boy, can they salsa. It’s fun to watch as much as dance. The tiny sign out front is easy to miss.
