Established in a traditional manor house in Barranco, El Dragon is considered by many people (especially young individuals) as the the best and most lively dance spot in Lima. There's always live music, very specially electronic, dance, rock, reggae and some jazz; drinks are quite cheap (between $4-$6.50) and the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. The owners describe this place as a "cultural bar" that promotes bands with a special kick on fusing funk and Latin rhythms with local jazz elements. The decoration includes art from local painters, and music changes according to the day: Tuesdays are for Afro, Jazz, Reggae and funk fusions; Wednesdays for electronic, Thursdays for local bands, and Fridays and Saturdays for local DJs.
EXPERT TIPS BY:

Lima Local Expert
- Night Clubs, Bars, Dance Clubs, Best Nightlife: "There is parking space outside; large groups are welcome, dress code is casual, and it is not necessary to make reservations in advance. All events are performed live, so you will be asked to pay a cover charge (which is never expensive)."
