There are not many more or less "underground" clubs in Playa..... the good old times are dead.... but this is one of the most laid back and extrovertid old school underground club in Playa! Enjoy it, as long as you still can have it! We use to see crazy clubs around, but as all species in extension, they disappeared .... anyway, if you want to have a little bit of craziness, this is the place to be!
