A mixed Sunday night out

Last Sunday night my bf and I decided to look in at Amerika (Gascón 1040), a dance club neither of us had visited previously. The Amerika website doesn't mention opening time for Sunday but since it is advertised as a tea dance we assumed it would be relatively early. On arrival at 11:00 p.m. we found the doors closed and we were informed that they would open at 12:30 a.m.

We then went round the corner and over the road to Sitges (Cordoba 4119) and found it just starting to fill up for the evenings "Canto Bar". Customers go up on stage and sing(?) their favourite song reading the words from a karaoke screen, and the whole affair is hosted by a drag. This was quite enjoyable actually with some decent voices and good fun. At 1:00 a.m. this is followed by a show but we decided to miss that and go back to Amerika. I wish we had stayed.

I suppose we were too early. There were maybe a couple of hundred people in there, the music was nothing, and as my bf said "No hay onda" (no vibes). We stayed 20 minutes and left. That will probably be my last visit to Amerika unless someone can convince me otherwise. Sunday night at Alsina (formerly Palacio) at Alsina 940 is still the best by a long way.
