Next Friday's lineup is being set — follow Ochos in the Bailar app to get the drop.

A fully operational bar inside a 100-year-old building.

Welcome to our urban oasis nestled in the heart of downtown, offering our spin on classic cocktails, wine, and small plates.

Ever try to build a ship in a bottle? Well, we built a fully operational bar inside a 100+ year old building. This Queen Anne structure, erected in 1892, was never meant to hold the demands that a functioning bar requires. But we did it anyway. Touches of industrial grit, old-world flair, and modern urbanity.

Out back: a multi-leveled patio with comfortable seating, a fire bar, and a cozy fire pit — built for year-round nights. Upstairs: a dancer's dream — beautiful hardwood, comfy lounge seating, and the room that fills every Friday for Salsa & Bachata.

Every Friday: Salsa & Bachata. Beginner lesson 7 pm, social dancing till 1 am.

Friday nights upstairs & what's coming up.

Every Friday: a beginner lesson 7:00 – 8:30 pm, then open social dancing 8:30 pm – 1:00 am. Lesson covers about 30 minutes each of beginner Salsa and Bachata; the social plays Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, and some Merengue. Come alone, with a friend, or with a group — partners rotate during class and rotation is optional. Wear shoes you can pivot in (leather soles, indoor sneakers, or dance shoes). 21+.
