If You ain't latin

by brucebal

I have to admit. Once you find your way into this place there is no turning around from the fact that it's completely unlike any other place you have been to before. (That is unless you often find yourself being underground) The speakeasy atmosphere quickly will repulse or attract you within seconds. Many people in Portland have some memory of being at Andrea's. Sometimes it's from a Birthday party that found the door downstairs, or some friend that told you about some live music that was going on it's still a memory (maybe hazy but its there.) I think every one should be able to experience the rhythm infection that is spread around every Thursday night Friday morning. To actually be a part of Cuban music is something most people only think can be done with a couple of drinks and a lot of people. If thats you this is the place to experiment. cubaneoson. c o m The drinks are strong the music is loud and the people are friendly. If your a guy don't dare step foot within the walkway without the understanding that you are expected to ask the women to dance. Can't dance, don't care still ask. Trust me. I can't dance but I have a ton of fun moving.

• Pros: Great Music, Awsome Drinks, Beautiful People
• Cons: Stylest Dancers that take up a lot of room and don't apoligize when they step on your feet. (we try to keep them away.)
