Its rule is live music. Each night a different group takes a small stage with murals of soneros behind it: salsa orchestras, charangas, tribute bands and Afro-Cuban jazz nights. The Punto Baré Big Band, put together with El Colectivo, a Cali music school, plays on Wednesdays.

It's more for sitting and listening than for dancing. There are tables, a bar and a short dance floor where a few couples get up. If you want a big floor, you can walk afterward to La Topa Tolondra, on the same block.

It's still open after the August 10, 2026 earthquake: in October 2026 it announced concerts on Instagram and new hours starting at 9:00 p.m.
