So we met a girl from Peru, she took us here after 10PM when it turns into a SALSA BAR! They turn the lights down low, play the music a little too loud, keep the full bar open, have Latin American music videos projected on the walls, and people get all sweaty going at it full force.
I learned the merengue from a gentlemen who asked me to dance. They'll always ask you to dance. Nobody does that weird let-me-dance-on-you thing here. Also, nobody cares if you don't really know how, they'll spin you and you throw your head back and laugh at your bad feet work. Then they spin you some more.
Pepin after hours are a one of a kind experience. A hearty slice of culture! I didn't even need to get on a plane.
There is a $10 cover. If you don't have cash they just take you back to the bar and you can pay with your card there.
I've never been to Pepin for the food. From reading the previous reviews I guess I really shouldn't.
But I sure am going to go again to dance.
