I was in town a few weeks ago. Latino was awesome. Velvet Glove was empty. I didnt visit Tropicana. I have heard High Carribean (new at end of Pedro Clisante) is opening this weekend.

Was there last wkd.

Latinos is free to get into (no cover) and many young locals go there. Music is cool, the crowd is decidedly young and hip-hop-oriented. We left as walking through it was very difficult. Too many people.

Classicos offers a more upscale experience, all-around including talent. Funny to watch the more than obvious sankie-pankie experience right in front of you. Was pretty common last wkd. Smartly, on NYE, they charged a 200 peso cover. Just weeded out the leeches, as there wasn't many people there. Where did that crowd go? Latinos. LOL!!! It was actually pretty cool to just hang out and have a drink or two.

The grand opening for High Caribe is Fri. Jan. 5th.

Velvet Glove is a nicely-decored place, with apparently no desire to stay open very long. Place was pretty empty each time we went. A few cute chicks, but nothing to make you stay more than say... a beer. Had no personality at all.

Just my opinion.

Eye candy???? Might as well remove your eyes...or stab yourself in them with a rusty shank. LOL!!!

Each night was a debacle, in both places. I completely understood the reviews that had previously been written. Except, it was worse than that. I was more than pretty content just going home solo, the options were brutal.

Not sure where Taino Beach Bar is located.

I 've never been to any of the above places except the Taino Bar. We were there last July and it had just reopened a few months or weeks (can't remember) earlier. Have they closed and reopened again? It's a nice place , I just find that it is kind of secluded. If you aren't staying at Casa Marina or Sosua by the Sea, I wouldn't imagine that too many people go there.

velvet rope is a bar on the first floor and massage parlor on the other floors. the last thing i heard was the massage part wasn't doing too good. so just another watering hole.

Since then the name was changed to "The Spot" and was recently closed as of 3 weeks ago. The signs were all off and the doors locked.

I guess its waiting for some new owners to buy or rent it.

How about "Club X" across from Classico's. Anything going on there? It closed when the curfew was imposed, I believe.

All you need is the Sosua Life bar and next to it the Classico! The discos up the stairs of Classico and in the back of Sosua Life are pretty good then the trip to the casino night club where everyone goes til late...4 or 5 pm!
