Latin Fridays – El Gato Cool Pub

El Gato Cool Pub is a neighbourhood bar on C. Santos Médicos that runs a Friday Latin social, splitting the night between salsa and bachata and often featuring live music or a DJ. The place runs late — Google lists Friday and Saturday hours to about 03:30 — so expect dancing after 23:00 rather than an early-evening set; it operates as a bar with drink service throughout the night rather than a dedicated dance hall.

Online reviews are mixed: several customers praise the owner, cocktails and live gigs, while others report rude service and hygiene concerns. If you go on a Friday, treat it as a casual, bar-style night: floor space will be limited, the sound system is geared to a bar room, and there’s no clear schedule of regular classes or warm-ups. Check the venue’s Instagram or call ahead for band times or cover charges.
