A review for you not the holiday industry.
Quite popular but it's hard to rate it above one "star". It's in the meat factory section, if you are drunk enough you can "get off" with someone within 1 minute because it;s next to the Cruise and directly above Construction, both of which are bars built around dark rooms.
The Coco Loco is quite souless, your left with a kind of impression, style wise of something from 25 years ago, but then it is Deutch, Dutch, whateva. Its client base is partly Dutch and German but even they don´t like it much, you won't find many Spanish there, a few Brits but only because they intially feel slightly nervous about the Spanish bar next to the Coco No No.
You'd think by the coverage Guapo magazine gives it you'd think it was genuinely tops.
it's not, it's just very loud. It you want to submerse yourself in the Spanish thing then the Coco loco is the pace to watch from, ie to watch the Spanish bar next to it, The Terry Show.
Unless you are clinically deaf you will notice
that the music is very loud at both bars, thats ok, but less than 1 meter separates them.
Terry Show which plays old and modern "Diva" type Spanish music almost equally loud as opposed to the Coco loco that plays pop from about 6 months old to 6 years old.
It's unoffical war with loud music between these two barsand, if style counts, and fortuneately it does, the Spanish win most times
The bar next to the Coco loco is the only Spanish owned and run gay bar in the Yumbo called the Terry Show. Given they both complain about each other music regularly, the only soluion they could come to was for both to have their music as high as they can; and it's become a "stalemate tradition."
Coco Loco = Coco NoNo
We'll add more on this review soon, but for now lets just say that if you want some latino spirit, don't go to the Coco loco, instead be brave and walk one meter more and go to the Terry Show.
You may detect a tone here, you right, what narks most people is that when the Terry Show do their drag show, a traditional corny old act, the Coco Loco seem to increase the volume of their music, at least they never ever lower it, not even for any kind of special or traditional or local Spanish occasion for the duration of the drag show.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a drag lover, most of them frighten me and I have 16" biceps.
Admittedly the Terry show, in particular Terry himself, is a cross between Lilly Savage and Les Dawson (that's a growly gravel voice if you're under 30) and in Spanish.
In short the old man is a tradition and some of his acts are over 70 years old, and to see them perform against maximum volume strength music from the Coco Loco makes them seem pathetic, and thats more than sad, that's bad and disrespectful!
The Dutch (Deutsch) speak English.
We know that the Spanish language is a big barrier for Brits, so we have a few pages to help you get up and running, see the icon at the top of the page.
