What we say

Dance club with multiple crowds
Let's get it goin' on. It don't matter if you're Latino, Blatino, or just want "to be in Ameri-ka", Escuelita is the place where we all get a little flavor.

***** "watch your drinks"
Posted: September 18, 2009
This place used to be a nice back then long time ago, however i went there one night and got poisoned by one of their drinks. I asked for a long island, and what apparently was just dirty water with god Knows what, was hospitalized for a week, the doctors said the drink had some chemical in it. So its not safe to go there at all. Watch out for those bartenders and what they put on that drink!!! peace!

***** What Happened??
Posted: August 25, 2009
I used to enjoy hitting up the city and following up on friends reccomendations, except when it came to here. We had no issue with the cover until we took in the totality of our experience and then realized I would have felt much better giving the $120 I laid out for 6 of us to someone on the corner looking for a hand out. Lets talk about the drinks OMG I could have had a better buzz drinking from a puddle out on the corner ... talk about weak. The music was way too overplayed and repetitive. From the attitude of the clientel I thought when I was leaving I would find a slew of Aranges and Murcielagos outside, but I only found a bunch of Rattle-acks. The crowd was way too arrogant and pretensious for me. Sorry Escuelta but you had a chance for a new customers and lost it, I won't be back and I think it is very obvious that I wouldn't reccomend this place.

***** Absolutely awful
Posted: January 05, 2009
I used to go there a lot in nth e'90s. Unfortunately, it's owned by someone else. From the momento you enter, you know it's not a friendly place, the cashier has more attitude than a movie start even thiugh she has a terrible Btonx accent. The patrons aremstly minorities who can't afford the expensive drinks. Lots of drag queens and "straight" men who areobviusly gay but in the closet. The music is repetitious and the dance fllor only gets full during that long and and awful show. The show lasts over 90 minutes, hostedby Angel Sheridan on Saturdays. He has a big following but does the same routine every week. Just imagine a guy who works for the sanitation department during the week and moonlights as a drag diva on weekends. Drinks are very expensive and sub-standards. There ar elots of young guys hustling customers for free drinks. The strippers are too old and full of cliches. Skip the place and give your $20 to a charity instead.
