By day it's a rum museum; by night the tasting room and adjacent spaces flip into a packed salsa/bachata scene. The main dance area is small and squeezed between seating rooms and the bar, so expect tight partnering and short turns rather than open touring. DJs tend to spin long blocks of one genre and several reviewers note uneven sound quality and a hot, crowded room.
Thursday is the regular Latin night on the events calendar and entry is usually free. There are separate rooms and tables where you can sit with a group or grab a bar stool if it's full, so arrive early for a table. Located in Zona Colonial, it's an easy stop if you're bar-hopping nearby; the venue stays open late (around 2–3am on weekend nights), so plan for a late finish and dress light if you overheat.
