Editorial Review for Copa Bar and Grill – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Latin music and salsa are just the start at this upscale nightclub that attracts a diverse crowd to dance and lounge in a classic downtown building. Exposed old tan brick walls contrast with the modern soft and radiant lighting and plush seating. The DJ mixes top Latin, world and US dance hits. During lunch, the more subdued environment is a relaxed sit-down restaurant serving Tex-Mex favorites like enchiladas, chili rellenos and chimichangas.

The club itself is great. However when they lease it out for a party such as the Venezuelan independence party on July 12th 2008, it really was horrible. The promoter of this party , a Venezuelan ( rude) women who had no clue how to throw a party hired a young DJ who played music for 21 and under crowd. This club is known for salsa, meringue and bachata. This young DJ thought he was at a large disco full of kids. He played horrible music that no one could dance too because the age group was 25 and older. Once the band played ( they were not a complete band as usual) the people were dieing to dance to salsa or what ever the band played. However, the over stimulated males in the building could not dance salsa because I guess the Venezuelan guys don't know how to dance were standing around the edge of the dance floor looking like fools and being stupid. IIt was so bad that people were putting chairs on the dance floor!!!.. Lets not forget that the bathrooms were trashed out and the bartenders wish they were all somewhere else. MY Advice, don't go to any Venezuelan party at Copa. They have no respect for the club and have horrible social skills when at a party.

There are tons of Mexican restaurants in downtown Austin, but this one is my favorite. The food is moderatley priced and delicious. The nearby Cantina Laredo and Las Manitas just don't do it for me. I find their food to be terrible. It seems like they have a great happy hour and lots of great events, I haven't tried them out yet, but I'll le tyou know if I do.

Pros: prices, specials, salsa,

Cons: service sometimes slow
