Bar

By Luisa Michelsen

A typical barranquino-styled house is the home of this well-established cultural bar, one of the first to promote bands with a special kick on fusing funk and Latin rhythms with local jazz elements. Inside El Dragón you can see a collection of wall paintings done by young local artists. The week starts on Tuesdays with blends of Afro jazz, funk and reggae; Wednesdays they turn electronic; Thursdays is a mix of local, well-known bands; and Fridays and Saturdays DJs perform to a lively, buzzing, but fun crowd. All events are performed live so you may have to pay an entrance fee of generally 10 soles, depending on which band is playing; this usually includes a free drink. They have a large dragon-tailed bar fully stocked to satisfy your thirst for exotic or classic drinks.
