Yesterday night I was in TJ (again) visiting my CFBG, since she had the evening off we decided to go out of the Zona Norte for dinner and entertainment.
After dinner we walked up Revolución and found a bar where tranvestites would dress up as famous Latín singers and lypsync to the music, the audience would tip the performers, I found it very entertaining.
Within a few minutes it was easy to realize, we had stepped into a bar which catered mainly to Latín gays, while I initially felt out of place I really enjoyed myself.
Later on the night, they had a signing contest with members of the audience, a cute blonde girl sang with heart and talent but the audience gave a louder applause (and prize money) to a handsome young performer with limited range, enthusiasm, and talent.
The drinks were cheap ($6.50 for a bucket of 5 beers, $3.50 for tequila shots) and the waiters were friendly and pretty efficient.
When I started this mongering Journey I have been in some unusual places (Bliss Showgirls VIP corridor always comes first to mind) and Latino Bar ranks as of those.
Though I would not recommend it a must visit destination while in TJ, we had fun drinking, dancing, and signing a very good change of pace.
I'm not gonna say you are having fun wrong. But ............. Going to a TV bar and listening to them sing is not on my " to-do " list when I go to TJ.
Glad you had a good time.
