More information on Polana

A large, bright orange disco-bar that opened in what used to be a tablao flamenco (Flamenco club). It's full of gay men in their 20s and 30s and some bring along their straight girlfriends. The music is a varied mix of danceable salsa, pachanga, disco and Spanish pop. The dance floor is in the center with a surrounding gallery above that has tables and chairs for those who want to take a break or watch. There's a stage at the back and two bars. The cover charge includes one drink.
