Sandino's Cafe Bar

Projecting a Latin-American theme, this attractive café-bar has been a consistent winner with both locals and visitors. The customer base includes professionals, musicians, journalists and freedom-seekers. Giant authentic posters and pictures of Latin-American rebels (Sandino was one) and native craft-work establish the bar's image. The venue acts as a magnet for roots-acoustic live music. Traditional Irish or jazz features most Sunday afternoons and impromptu sessions featuring veterans and locals are frequent. Imported beers, fresh coffee and cappuccino are the mainstays, with soup and sandwiches also available. Each mid-November the cafe hosts the week-long Reel Film Festival, which screens little-seen movies that have real music as their central subject.
