With the exception of one bartender with an attitude, El Convento Rico was a pretty laid back place for some fun dancing. As a destination, gimmicky club whose selling point is its drag show, it draws in huge crowds of bachelorettes and birthday parties.
The music - very danceable. The crowd - mostly lively, chill people out for a night of fun. We had signed up on the guestlist and were told to be there before midnight for the 12:30am drag show. At the door, there was a small line up that moved pretty quickly. The bouncer however, told us there was no guest list. What's the point of signing up for a guest list if it doesn't really exist?
Tip: the drag show happens in the middle of the dance floor. There will be an announcement, and then bouncers will start pushing people back to form a circle for the 'stage'. Get to the middle of the room before they start doing this and when they do start the show, you'll be guaranteed a front row seat!
