El Rio

Any night might find the ample dance floor packed with revelers who live up to the "Funk-on-Fire" banner in the back. The crowd redefines "multicultural," with belly dancers and Mediterranean food on Thursdays, free oysters and fabulous world-beat music on Fridays, salsa dancing on Sundays, and live rock on other nights. The patio is where the action's at, with sweaty members of all walks of life converging to cool off.
