being an IPB been here a couple of times and no review shame on me,the first time i came here was for a farewell :)
the place is nice i like the couches and drinks of course the decor is also on the chick side ... what i didn't like was the dance floor connected to the entrance and bunch of people walking by bummer :S
i would definitely come a lil dressed up if i were you,there's some hot looking girls :) and you don't wanna look under dressed for that fo sho.
ipb
My friends and I arrived a bit on later side, nearly midnight. The door was roped off and we asked the door guys if we were able to walk over it - no response. Awesome.
We meet up with my friend and she gives us VIP bracelets which gives you access to the upstairs section. There is a bar up there, but drinks were pretty expensive in my opinion.
Sure, the decor is nice and all, but that's about it. Service and staff seemed snooty and unfriendly.
I won't be back.
came here on a summer saturday night during my last seattle visit. there was an event held by some local promoters that my cousin knew of, so there was no trouble getting in. this was our third and most enjoyable stop of the night.
i assume this is seattle's asian top spot or something, cause i swear as we entered i felt as if i had never left home! the vibe was similar to that of a typical san jose club. though i went on vacay to escape the familiar scene, i had a ton of fun! what was also quite amusing, here i ran into an old friend in which i went to the same high school with! him and he wife relocated to washington and yes are both asian...
the layout here is kind of modern and random in terms of other clubs and lounges i've been to. it's a bit odd where they position the dj right against the wall dead center of the enclosed space. with this creating the dance floor, walk way area does tend to get a little tight. one of the hired dj's for the night seemed rather weak and could've worked on his transitions some what. seriously, what was with all the reggae that night?
quality control here isn't bad though. they do a good job keep out the belligerent and rowdy. there was a a typical drunk girl who couldn't even hold herself up in front of us in line. apparently security had requested she leave the club earlier and she was in line to re-enter. quite embarrassing on her part though, she was leaning on the guys before her and falling all over us! the bouncers remembered her luckily and held her to the side while they went in to search for her friends.
we weren't at ibiza from beginning to end, but still managed to enjoy the time spent. i'd probably attend this venue again the next time in town, just hopefully if it's the same promotion group i suggest they hire a new photographer. he was a bit rude.
So, after a plethora of drinks at Joey's, the Asian crowd that I was with decided to go to....*drum roll*....an Asian club! Or at least, that was my first impression of Ibiza.
The place is a two story nightmare of loud music, gyrating people who look entirely too much like they're trying hard to be a few socioeconomic classes below where they truly are, and high priced drinks.
The dance floor was ill-placed - I walked through many couples attempting to dance and got a few annoyed stares. I absolutely stood out being one of maybe a handful of guys among a hundred in a button up shirt and tried to blend in as best as I could. However, there's just something to be said about the Beast vs. Breast Coasts and their differences.
There was a VIP area upstairs that didn't seem well utilized - I mean, honestly, I don't gather that Ibiza is where you'll see any popular celebrities or Seattle Socialites - but it was replete with a bouncer and velvet ropes...very pedestrian.
Won't be back to this one if I can help it.
Diverse crowd that's older and a little less rowdy than some other clubs in Pioneer Square. One of my more preferred clubs to go to in Seattle.
Downside is that the dance floor isn't that big and can easily get crowded because it's right next to the entrance and intersects with the walkway to the VIP tables upstairs and to the bar.
The group I went with had a VIP table located on the second level -- it was a more quiet and private area right next to the DJ. We had great service and drinks. Definitely my vote when my friends and I go out.
Alright. Someone has to say it --- Ibiza is totally an Asian club. Believe you me, I'm no stranger to or hater of the Asian social scene, but a whitey needs a little warning!
Yes whiteys you will have bigger (albeit natural) boobies, a bigger ass and you'll be generally larger than all the other girls there. Be prepared to get a few "hey sexy white girl" come-ons too.
But otherwise, sleazeballs are sleazeballs, skanks are skanks and this club is like any other. The drinks are overpriced, after 11 the cover is like $20, it is over crowded and sweaty. Ladies -- dress skanky, everyone does. Low cut tops and short ass skirts are prevalent.
So why'd I give it 3 stars? What is Ibiza's saving grace?
The music.
Possibly the best DJ in town, my friends and I haven't had so much fun dancing in a long time.
Oh and the bathrooms weren't bad either. There's a nice and big, full length mirror for the ladies-- always a must when boobs and crotches are so dangerously close to full exposure.
Now I have all the Asian-fetish horn-dogs of Seattle flocking to Ibiza's. Forgive me Ibiza, hopefully you'll let me in next time I want to get my groove on!
Ibiza's is an ok club, I have heard great reviews from many people so I decided to try it myself.
The club is very well decorated. The bathrooms are pretty clean. Pretty quick service at the bar.
The only downside I would say is that the dance floor is right next to the door. Hated dancing there when people are going in and out of the club. People will walk in between you while you are dancing. But at least most people were resepectful...
Ok place like I said, I'd give it another try...
You wouldn't let me in on my 21st birthday. So I hate you. Yes I was probably a little sauced up by the time we met but I'm damn adorable and someone could have got lucky that night.
And there was a limo parked outside. This is Seattle people. Come on.
I think people spend money here for the sake of spending money here. Which is to say, people are trying too hard.
Over applied make up on a host of Seattle 7-type girls getting propped up by a wack ratio of 40k millionaires is not my idea of a good time.
However, over the years my friends have hosted some special events here that occupied the entire bar. Those have fixed the main problem with this place- the people- and left us with a clean, nicely done bar to kick it at.
Microsoft Prime 2008-2009
Ambience: 4

Value: 3
The place is a club during the late nights. I don't understand why they even pretend to be a restaurant. They also didn't want to accept the Prime Card; think the final price came out wrong. The inside is nice and interesting. The night we went there were two bachelorette parties. The food was very mediocre; the steak was chewy, the sandwiches were adequate but overpriced. It's a good place to go to dance/hang out, but for eating, look elsewhere.
Like the Spice Girls, Ibiza splashed onto the Seattle stage with words posh, sexy, scary, etc. After a few years, the tired ladies of pop are ramping up for a come back tour. A little older, a little more mature and a little more worldly. Welcome the return of Ibiza, rejuvinated, refreshed and open to a more mature crowd!
Wednesdays and Thursdays belong to Ibiza with Flamenco and Samba, respectively (with more to come, I'm sure.) Where those "in the know" come out to enjoy some good music, good dancing and good drinks. (Here's to Jordan and Austin the bartenders at the revolutionized Ibiza, well done sirs!) The swanky atmosphere hasn't changed which is a good thing, the attendees range from the young and hip to older and sophisticated. The combination works to create a comfortable place to be without being tired.
So come in, order a martini, sit back and let loose!
Remember that episode of Family Guy where Bryan gets teased for being fat, goes and talks to a doctor about plastic surgery, and Peter goes under the knife instead? Then, with his smokin' new good looks, he gets invited to join the 'Beautiful People club of Quahog'?
Well.. that club in the heart of Quahog might as well have been Ibiza. Thems a good lookin' bunch a kids up in theah!
I went to a birthday party here last night. Great place for a party!
The food was pretty good (They have mini burgers and pretzel breaded chicken fingers, amongst other apps/ entrees) The drinks were fine- extensive cocktail menu and wine list.
The bathroom was a little 'off'. Sinks are outside the 'jane'.. What the hell?
I liked this place.. Great place to get dressed up 'like a lady' and go shake your money maker or milkshake, or.. what have you.
hmm.. ibiza.. i have mixed feelings about you. im always hearing about people coming here... so decided to try it...
Only been here twice, but both times have been the complete opposite of eachother... the first time, got there around 12:30am. it was alright, super crowded though. took an hour to walk to the other side of room.. but whatevers. the second time coming here.. it was on a friday as well, it was dead. pretty much. kind of. eh i guess not that dead. the crowd, totally different. i would say older.. like 30's. and they were playing TECHNO! i love all kinds of music, but techno is just not one of my jams..
bartenders are nice. drinks are good. im sure they know how to read lips because its so loud in there, ordering a drink and having them HEAR you is a miracle... or is that just me?
overall... its a nice place.. i may give it another go.. who knows.. 3rd time may be a charm. The End.
Seattle has a love affair with cheese. Seriously!
I came to Ibiza because of a tip from a local Yelper, and because we walked by earlier in the day and snuck a look at the wine menu.
Settling in with friends for cocktails and dinner, the conversation went something like this:
Friend #1: What do you want to try?
Friend #2 (not so secret cheese lover): Did you see they have a cheese steward?
Waitress: Would you like to see our list of cheeses?
Friend #3: Yes, or we'll never hear the end of it.
Waitress (brings back a large folder and places it on the table): So there are 25 cheeses on the lis-
F#2: Twenty-five?!
Me: Now we're in trouble...
F #2 (after glaze-eyed look through list): You choose.
F#1: You don't want to...?
F#2: It's too much, I can't decide.
F#3 (laughing): I never thought I would hear that...
So we ordered several cheeses, a bottle of wine suggested by our fantastic waitress, more appetizers and had a grand feast. We left before the music started, which was too bad, but as all of us were approaching dairy-induced coma it was the right decision.
Twenty-five cheese choices - why do I not live up here?
Lately I feel like I am too old to "go clubbin." I am glad to have found a place that has people more my age (because 27 is so much older than 21). I liked the layout of the place and the fact that it wasnt as dark as a lot of the other clubs I have been to.
Also, and most important, the women here looked good. I really need to learn how to talk to hot babes, especially the ones who make eye contact with you. Why do I always turn my head real quick and feel my face get red? Oh yeah, I am hella shy.
Zipzap Zubidy Bop!
*Stop tagging this as funny! Being extremely shy around beautiful women is nothing to laugh about.
Saturday night's schedule:
1) Go to Collins Pub and drink for a reasonable price.
2) Get riled up and go next door to Ibiza to dance.
3) DANCE DANCE DANCE to the kicking House and cool live Latin drummers.
4) Go back to Collins to chill out, relax and drink some more.
5) Repeat.
Beware of the chain link curtains. Your pant leg can get caught in them, and after you've had a few drinks you may need to have the bouncer help you untangle yourself. Not that I have any experience with that...not that I can clearly remember at least.
What I do remember is a very swanky NY-esque club just adjacent to the more collegiate/touristy Pioneer Square scene. The upstairs VIP area is large and comfortable and affords you a great view of the action downstairs.
And, wow, does downstairs ever get hoppin!!! They have a drum section, or at least someone with bongos and a few maracas, to compliment the DJ that is spinning that night. It makes the atmosphere seem much more festive.
And, once you untangle your pant leg from the chain link curtain the maraca guy might let you have a hand at shakin' them!
Ibiza is the place that makes you remember that it's okay to be a little suave sometimes, even though you're in Seattle. If you're a guy, you can grease up that hair and let those shirt buttons stay unbuttoned. You can do the nasty 'chest stroke' and actually get a girl to come talk to you! And hey, if you're a girl, find the smallest top in your closet and the highest stilettos you own, and you're good to go. (No pants required.)
If you don't fit into the categories mentioned above, you can still go here! Hey, I did. If you appreciate a great space with great ambiance, you'll like Ibiza. There seem to be three sections in the 'dinner club' : the dining area, the couch/bed area, and the bar/dancefloor area. Not to mention the outside seating in the front, and the great VIP space upstairs. Oh, and yes, you did read correctly, there is a bed there. I wouldn't get too close to it, as you don't know what's er, happened on it-but it makes for great people watching!
They have a nice specialty cocktail list with drinks ranging from 9-12 bucks. I know this sounds incredibly steep, but trust me on this one, order the Canteloupe Martini. You will not be sorry. And I even hate vodka!
After coming here twice-both on weekend nights-I have to wonder why it isn't more crowded? Perhaps I came on off weekends, but it was actually nice because I was at a hot spot and could actually move around and chat with my friends.
The truth is that there is no really all A class club in Seattle. With that aside, Ibiza is A-OK nothing more, nothing less. I don't mind paying, however this club is definitely not in the $20 level. The drinks are like any Seattle club, rush crafted, inconsistent at best. Back to reality, this place have a good system, so the music is great, there is a sitting area (couches) which add some value if you can find a place to sit down. As with all Seattle club, male biased and most all disrespectful to the female counterpart and the way to clobber around them shows. LOL Seattle definitely need more class.
Ibiza has an absolutely modern and vogue look and feel. In truth if feels more like something you'd see in some of the hipper districts of LA or NY. The drink are great (i especially liked the mojito - very minty) and the bar is quite the visual spectacle.
The only downside to the restaurant is that the food is a little pricey and the portions aren't that large. But, its a great place to hang and chat.
Very nice decor.
We chose Ibiza for our company holiday party a while back and had a great time. We had rented out the 2nd floor and although the service was a little slow it's understandable. The poor waitresses had to go up and down the stair countless times during that night. Some of the appetizers were hit and miss though. On the flip though, their well drinks consist of sky vodka and other "Premium" labels.
Anyhow, after thinking about where to go for dinner last night, I thought we'd check it out again. The decor is very nice. Billowing curtains create partitions within the large space and the owners spent quite a bit of money on decorating the interior. I only wish they had spent more concern on what came out of the kitchen. Quite honestly, the food doesn't live up to the front of the house.
I had the roasted beet salad and the de-constructed Paella and the girl had an organic spring salad with the NY. The beet salad was an interesting concept. They had a toasted nut encrusted petite round of warmed goat cheese served with thin slices of beet decorated around the plate...I love beets and I felt I got cheated a bit. The concept was to use the slices of beets as a vessel for some of the cheese but if you're going to call it a beet salad, there had better be a lot of beets!
The deconstructed Paella was another interesting concept. Everything on the side with the Spanish rice formed into a hockey puck. I mean the plate presentation was great, but the whole purpose of Paella is to have all those great seafood flavors combine and enhance the flavors within the rice. The other gripe was that the seafood got very cold quickly on their own. The 3 pieces of Chorizo however were delicious. Wish they gave more.
I had some of the steak and it was good...but then again I hate ordering boring steaks. The Roquefort butter over the top was good though and the bed of Arugula was nice and peppery.
Half-way through the meal a group of people walked in all dressed in white with fake tans and no concept of how buttons worked. Really? I thought to myself? A nice place for a cocktail at most, but as far as food? Not really a serious eating destination. You're better of to go here for drinks. I do recommend the venue for a party though.
update: I had to take off a star, I wanted to like you Ibiza, really I did. We have a love/hate relationship going on right now so hopefully next time you'll make it up to me.
It was my birthday a few weekends back and I arranged with a friend to get on a promoters list. We called Ibiza and were told that if we came early we would get a table. We came EARLY at 9 PM, had to pay $15 cover even though the people on the phone said that we wouldn't have to pay before 9:30, and had NO table. NO ONE was in whole venue besides two birthday parties at tables. We were promised a table for later in the night and didn't get one. whatever. Still had a good time and would go back for the atmosphere BUT I would not recommend arranging any parties/VIP with the staff. There seems to be a serious disconnect between the restaurant/GLO/promoters/bouncers. Communicate!
On another note, first time I've ever been kicked out of a bar for being too drunk - don't worry I made it to the stall all by myself but then I was escorted out. Good thing I don't remember, that seems like it would be em-barr-ass-ing! :)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ibiza, I give you four stars... I would have given you five but it took you far too long to get me a drink. Maybe it's because of the circular bar and your head was going in circles and couldn't see that I was CLEARLY ahead of the group of fake blondes with the boobs busting out of their cleavage while batting their lashes at you but there are no excuses. I want my drink and I want it now!
Other than the unusually long wait for a drink at the bar (first round was quick, second round took eons...) Ibiza was fabulous. First time visiting here on a Saturday night not too long ago... was looking forward to some cuddle time on the infamous bed but alas it is no more since they redecorated. Lots of great people watching... I love watching people try to dance :) Would definitely come back another night.
Ibiza reminds me of the chic bars in Manhattan. Everything feels the same, including the scantily dressed waitresses, extremely high prices, and small food portions. Despite the price, the drinks are very tasty.
HUGE TIP: Go during happy hour. 4-6 every weeknight. Mojitos are only $3, when they are usually $8. A good portion of their specialty drinks are only $4 as well. Most people don't show up then, so you'll have the place to yourself.
Being a wi-fi'er, this is a great place for a late afternoon meeting. Collins Pub is next door and has free Wi-Fi. You should be able to connect to their access point. Look for the access point named "collins_pub".
I haven't had dinner at this dinner club yet, so I can't really comment on the food.
Given the name I was kinda expecting (hoping? nah!) to walk into a room full of foam when I showed up for the Halloween party. Even without the foam I did feel like I was entering an exclusive Mediterranean hot spot filled with beautiful and well costumed guests. The bar is filled with a lot of top shelf liquor. It was probably due to the Halloween party bedlam going on, but I did get a generous pour of XO rum neat, and was charged like it was a regular shot! That was nice.
Having just come from our high school reunion we neglected to wear costumes, but congrats to Maverick & Goose for winning the contest... I think Frida Kahlo and Che Guevara deserved it just a little bit more though!
If I could, I might dock a quarter to a half star on two issues:
- Our server is still learning (I know, I've made some of the same subtle mistakes he did.)
- The GM didn't inform us the wine he picked out cost more than the price I OKed. (It wasn't much more, but in my opinion, the wine server should ALWAYS tell you before uncorking the bottle. On the plus side, though, it was a really good match based on what we requested.)
Noteworthy details:
The GM is relatively new to the restaurant, as is the chef. Apparently, Ibiza got a bit away from its origins in its first year. The new chef is there, in part, to return "Spanish-inspired" to the menu.
My hubby told me the Negroni he ordered was one of the best he's had outside of our home. That's fairly high praise for the bar.
Yes, it is indeed quiet on a Thursday night.....that is, unless there is a private party upstairs with a PA system for door prizes.
Pioneer Square has always had a reputation as a place that required caution and suspicion. This review is by no exception an attempt at a different statement. All this given, Ibiza surprisingly serves for a fun and jubilant night out. Much more of a Belltown, type atmosphere, it does a satisfying job at catering to a swanky, and fancy crowd. This is of course not to suggest that a drunken group of recent college grads can't have a good time but be prepared to see young professionals and hip Seattleites in a crowded but pleasant venue.
p.s. late night inebriated reviews are the most honest!
Great decor. Great guest DJ and performers. A nice classy touch. The women! =)
Woowooowooo... I forgot about the bongo guy. Basically some Saturdays they bring in this great DJ/drum-player that really raises the roof.
I've never been here beyond lunch and happy hour. I'm aware it's some sort of upscale dining place and meat market club after hours, but I only go for the food and occasional drink with friends.
They supposedly serve a Spanish-influenced fusion thing. A year or two back this was a decent place to grab lunch despite the fact that their food wasn't particularly Spanish nor was it great. They raised their prices, however, but the quality of food remained mediocre. I don't go here anymore. The food is stupidly overpriced and the pretension here is ridiculous.
The only positives are that the wine selection is decent , the happy hour was OK, and their service was always good. If you are looking for a Spanish restaurant this place fails to offer anything particularly good (or Spanish for that matter) and it's over-priced for what you do get. It doesn't feel like Spain, or Miami, rather, it just feels like another awkward place in Seattle trying really hard to be something it is not.
Bouncers are goons, crowd is goonish, DJs are $$$, location is poop. TIA - that is all.
I am going to save 10 minutes of my time and just include the complaint letter I wrote to Ibiza.
----------------------------
My friends and I were very disappointed in the service here last night. Two of my friends had planned a big birthday gathering (30+) people for dinner and then drinks afterwards. We had reservations @ 8:30pm for dinner and people came throughout the night. I came with a small group @ 8:45 and it was insisted I had to pay cover. I didn't believe charging cover for dinner was acceptable. It wasn't the $5 that was the problem, it was more the principle that we had a table and reservations and we still had to pay cover. On top of that my friend (who made reservations) was not informed of this beforehand. At the time of the reservations, no one was even in the venue. This is not something that should have been assumed.
The cover charge was something that we probably would have looked passed if the rest of the night went smoothly. Our table/section (two couches near the exit door) was informed that we needed to hit a $800 minimum to have our table -- so we thought no problem. We ordered food, beer, drink specials (in which you were out of mint for mojitos) and continued our celebration throughout the night. Before midnight, our waitress asked us if we could move since we had only hit half of our tab. I am sure we hit a lot more than $400 by that time, but that wasn't the point. The point is why were we asked to leave when we reserved the spot for the night. I didn't know we had to hit $800 by a certain time limit. That was unprofessional and rude. There were also many times where the waitress wasn't present so we had to order champagne from the bartender. I am not sure the relationship between the two but words were definitely exchanged.
The manager was called and involved in talks but since there was so many people I did not catch if there was a resolution. All I know is that by the end of the night, our roped off section was no longer roped off and people were lingering into our section. I'm sure by the end of the night we hit our $800 tab but not without obstacles.
I hope my friends and I have a reason to go to Ibiza again but not if they don't make major changes.
----------------------
too bad little did he know that I am yelp elite and i really should have left a "you've been yelped" tag behind ! :)
You know my dad grew up in Ibiza when he was a little kid. Things have changes and now they have a resturant named after the island. I know he wouldn't like what happened to the island, being a party mecca or whatever. But for a dance club who cares...the decor and atmosphere are great and if my dad were my age I am sure he would get his drink on.
Caption Action in the House!
Good music, great atmosphere. I liked the VIP area. The other areas were WAY to full.
I am rating this as an out-of-towner, and rating only on the Saturday night crowd (which was different than samba/salsa night that is described many times below) and not on the food either.
We wanted to go to a club while in Seattle, and checked out Yelp for reviews/ratings. I had high expectations but was thoroughly and utterly disappointed and confused with what happened once inside. I called Ibiza directly to inquire about cover. $10 before 10:30(?) and she said you could visit a website and get get a password texted to you to get on the VIP list. We asked around to find out which line to get in. Stood in the supposed VIP line for about 25 minutes in the freezing cold only to be told once we were in front that we were in the wrong line and that the list was closed.
Beware of the short fat bouncer. He had no shame - and I've never seen a bouncer so blatantly take craploads of wads of cash bribes to get in. Not in Vegas, not in LA, Boston, San Francisco, nowhere. Of course he took our lovely money but then once we were inside we were asked to pay yet another cover, $20. From what we'd seen so far, it was completely not worth it. We wittled it down to the $10 we should have paid when on the "list."
Sights & sounds:
1) Two guys in front of us in line who wouldn't shutup about what their "backup" plan would be if they wouldn't get in. I was hoping this guy was really drunk because his words made me want to shake him into coherence.
2) Two hookers bumping and grinding near the DJ. I tried to take a picture but they were shoving their boobs out so much and grinding so all over the place that the pictures didn't take. Why even bother to wear booty shorts if they're more like crotchy shorts.
3) At least 2 women who used to be men
4) A pack of moms who pushed their way to the dancefloor and proceeded to bounce around and bump people
5) A dude standing 4 feet away from a chick but asking my bf to tap her and tell her he wanted to talk to her.
6) 3 drunk chicks asking to cut in the LONG bathroom line so her friend could puke. An ensuing fight and ice getting thrown in other's faces.
7) At least 2 dudes getting in with hooded sweatshirts, sneakers, and scruffy faces (Um, if you're going to have a "dress code" then enforce it for everyone or get rid of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
8) Wayyyyy too many VIP tables hogging all the square footage. No room to dance or move around.
9) A bartender who makes SoCo lime shots by pouring ice and slices of lime into a glass, pouring SoCo on top, and pretending to grind it in. Only to taste pure SoCo, WARM, and nasty.
Suggestions to make it through your night: get drunk. Otherwise, leave as quickly as possible. It is NOT worth it and I'm hoping Seattle has better to offer next time.
I thought this place was ok. I got in for really cheap because one of the people i was with, knew the bouncers. I also have a VIP pass for Ibiza, dont ask me how i got it or if it even means anything. This place was HOT. Lots of beautiful people in here. I recognized one of the bartenders, he used to work at Watertown. Great bartender. Got buzzed, danced the night away, only wish i would have gotten there earlier than midnight so i could have actually spent a little more time. Bathrooms were decently clean, and drinks were of decent strength. It was an ok experience.
Girls Night out was a blast here. We didn't have to wait long in line! The drinks are well mixed, the crowd loves to mingle, DJ was impressive with his choice of mixin'. There was plenty of eye candy to feast my eyes upon. I will be definately be coming here again. Great location and service was wonderful
Only place outside of Miami I've been to that actually reminds me of Isle d'Ibiza. Mix of model types and let's face it, drunken bar slags. Excellent DJs, food, appetizers and cocktails. Crowd was much more sophisticated when it first opened, now it seems like the Eastside's bimbo center of the universe. Avoid the STDs and shallow conversation, bring your own date.
This is more of an impression from the entertainment Ibiza provides every Wed.night: live Flamenco music and dance performance. Simply irresistible - if you don't find yourself snapping your fingers, tapping your feet etc after a few minutes of listening to Eric and Vassily (they both play guitars and sing), then something is fundamentally wrong with your senses. The musicians are on fire through the entire evening and the dancer, Encarnacion, is a gem: a true Spanish beauty who dances like she breathes. Her technique is stunning and she makes each and every move seem so easy. She also picks up a guitar and sings a few numbers with the guys - they sing right into your heart, with genuine passion. Big thanks to Ibiza for hosting these wonderful performers. Ole Ole !!!
I went way early on a Saturday so it was empty, but the service was really good and the drinks were awesome! It was the perfect place to get cozy on the couch...trendy but as comfortable as someone's living room. I want to go back!
I am never a fan of spending $30 for 1 person in 5 minutes. Especially when going to a place that's just a club. I would suggest going only if you have a group that doesn't mind spending a lot of money on tiny, overpriced, and poorly made drinks, and mediocre music.
If you do go get in before 11 and get into the VIP area.
Kinda empty on a Thursday nite, but great Vegas/LA/Miami kinda theme they have going. Co-ed washrooms weren't bad to meet girls, if any were there the first place.

And I guess part of it is still under there, but…
Until I can actually get to Spain and Portugal, I…
Lemme take u on an escapade, baby, out to the bars…
Despite the crowds, here are some of my faves in…
