Latin beats and reggae music keep the crowd moving at this dance club in the heart of Pacific Beach.

In Short
It would be hard to miss the giant red lizard on the outside of this Brazilian hot spot on Garnet. Inside, find a colorful décor with huge flowers overhead, bright Latin art on the walls, and light-up palm trees. Brazilian music and reggae acts dominate the live music stage, and the dance floor gets packed throughout the night with a hot and sweaty, international crowd. Beers, mojitos, and caipirinhas are the drinks of choice.
