Considering my penchant for neon lighting, basement bars and anything Spanish/Latin American/Central American themed, this should be the kind of place that I would run to of a weekend for crazy dance times and rum imbibing. But unfortunately, my heart lies with another Mexican themed establishment on Hanover St, which is far superior, and I just can't forget that when I'm in here.\n\nI do have a tendency to judge places to go dancing more harshly than other types of businesses. But a good quality dancing and drinking arena is very important, and pretty hard to come by sometimes. Something about the vibe of El Barrio doesn't quite sit with me. It's always busy, which is to be expected, seeing as it's a free entry club in the centre of town. The tunes are decent enough, the last time I was in on a Saturday they played a pretty good range of hits of a cheesey nature. They have a wee restaurant bit where you can get food until pretty late in the morning, and a substantial dance floor plus a few tables scattered about. \n\nEvery time I'm in here I just feel a bit hesitant about getting properly stuck into the dance floor, as I'm just not rating the banter yet. Maybe these things take time, and considering my friends seem to be obsessed with coming here at the moment, I might just have to start feeling the love.
