I was in town getting a haircut at Sweeney Todd's Barber Shop on Saturday the 6th, so we had dinner at the Tar Pit (swanky, old-style decor, great food and cocktails) and made it to La Descarga around 9:00. We had a reservation for 8:00 but an online search result listed their address at S. Western, so we went to the wrong part of town by mistake. But they were cool and let us in an hour late. It wasn't crowded yet so we got drinks fairly quickly. I had the excellent Tipping the Admiral, then we checked out the rum / cigar lounge and sipped some rum there while I smoked a pipe (it's great being able to do that in a bar!). We caught the first show in the main room around 10:00 but had to leave after that to catch a band at the Bordello. It was a beautiful space, everyone was dressed to the nines, and the drinks we had were fabulous. The show was a real treat as well. I'll definitely be back!
