Frommer's Review

It's easy to miss the narrow entrance to this hot spot across from the Cine Magaly. Owned by a local filmmaker, the decor includes a heavy dose of cinema motifs. The space is large, with high ceilings, and one of the best (perhaps only) smoke extraction systems of any popular bar, making the place bearable, even though most of the clientele are chain smoking. There's occasional live music and movie screenings and a decent menu of appetizers and main dishes drawn from various world cuisines.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
