Disappointing

Went to this bar in February 2013, like other reviewers we were the only ones in! One night actually had 8 of us! Very disappointing but they dont promote it. Staff were very friendly and great but no customers! Nice enough club and good music just need people,

three stars..wow thats a bit much

Been trying this place from March 3 to the 8th and we will try one more time saturday.. but there is NOTHING redeeming about this club. The single drag show was spanish - understandable but not for the tourist crowd unless you are fluent. Last night it was like the bartender invited straight couples for pretend crowds. The drinks are marginally more expensive than 11:11 just down the street. Staff is friendly enough .. just deadsville. We were the only ones in the place a couple of times.. why i suspect they invited friends last night - we tried this place at 11:30, 1:30 and again after 11:11 was nearly closed - there's been no optimum time as yet (03/08) Its spring break here and none of the gay bars are promoting themselves so .. its all a local crowd, including 11:11 .. a few travelers were in 11:11 I suspect they, like us, googled or gaycitied their way over... too bad - so much potential and zip effort in marketing to a broad audience - hell even the "promotional cards" we got last night for ameture strip night last night were for a show on the 2nd - wtf?

hopping

Went on a Saturday night. People in Mexico don't start partying until late, but this place is pretty hot once things get going. Try 11:11, too.

Karamba has improved

I just went to karamba after a 4-year gap...It has been re-decorated and looks MUCH nicer than before. Beer and drinks are reasonable priced and there was a nice drag show the day I went..obviously in Spanish...Some tourists....Nice atmosphere and music!!!!! The day after there was a white-party but I didn't go....but I menyion it to show there is variety...
