Coko Bongo, for some reason I thought of Donkey Kong bangin' on some bongos when I heard your name. Well my friends, if you want an interesting night in TJ with a little of top 40 dance music and a whole lot of reggaeton, CB has got you covered.
Dancin' to current dance hits mixed with Latin flair, I gotta say that it's "all in yo hips." Saturday night Avenida Revolucion was starting to pop off, our squad was gettin' thirsty, and we wanted to shake them taco adobada calories. We paid 14 usd each for cover and a very watered down open bar (Ehhh can't complain lol) to get into this 2 story club scene. Line was moving pretty fast, and we got there at 10 pm. Midnight though it was PACKED.
My Spanish, or Spanglish to exact, has a lot to be desired in terms with communicating with others. But luckily, I let my dance grooves do the talking, and man was I lit. Lines for my open bar margaritas were decently short. Barely any alcohol in there.
We ended up buying a bottle service with tequila for one of the tables upstairs for only 50 bucks usd. Pretty cheap woo hoo! You get a better look of the club. The servers try to up sell you with driveby bottle shots directly in your mouth, expecting some propina (tip).
The age crowd seemed pretty 20-30's and the dress code was that there was none. Guys wearing snap backs, and some cholo took his shirt off for no reason, good thing security took care of that business. I know Nelly said it's getting hot in hurr, but please keep on all your clothes. Random instance this night, a group of people thought I was their long lost college friend in Guatemala and kept calling me Eduardo in Spanish. Eduardo from Guatemala, where were you?!
"Yo tengo la gasolina, Rompe, Rompe... Daddy Yankee, Pitbull!!!" Music was cool, reminded me of Senior year prom, the music was like... Hip hop mashed With a bunch of reggaeton. There was one edm song that the DJ played, and I had to shuffle right there and then. Tip: This club is not ready for the shuffling. The venue is pretty small heads up.
If you wanna be adventurous, spend a couple of hours in a club in TJ and lean like a cholo, give this place a try. Oh yeah, the cages are for dancing girls only. read more
