We (group of 7 lads) were in cancun for 2 weeks holiday (09/08 - 23/08) and we visited Congo Bar 7 times in total. It was by far the best place in Cancun to go to. The atmosphere was electric every night we were in there. As soon as we entered and paid our $20 a waiter would grab us a table for waiter service. There was only 1 night the service was a bit poor and we were waiting for drinks, every other night the drinks would be stacking up on the table. Everyone was so friendly and made you feel welcome. Even though it looks quite small from the outside it can still pack in a good amount of people. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cancun and looking for an amazing night out.

I know when i go back to Cancun i will be visiting Congo Bar alot more!!

Myself and 3 other girlfriends of mine partied at Congo Bar during Spring Break in February of 2008. I loved how this bar's layout was so open and airy; you didn't feel as though you were in a closed-in nightclub! The bar staff kept you entertained with dancing and pictures. The daquiri's were the best we've ever had!! One of the bar employees got my girlfriends and I up on a table to shake our stuff infront of the whole bar! The bartender made us a bunch of shots (on the house) for doing so! haha! It was AWESOME!

the staff we're awesome, instead of them feeling it was the customer's privilege to come to their bar, it was their privilege to have you... Loved it!!!

Visited March 24 - March 31

Awesome!!!! Went here 3 times in one week and this is my third time in Cancun and I would never leave Cancun without visiting this place!... $15.00 bucks gets you the service you want... and give these guys $10.00 bucks extra and you get even more... they will find you all the way on stage.. and freaking great music too!

Myself and three of my buddies jusr returned from a trip to Cancun. This was my first trip to Cancun and we stayed at the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach Resort which was located down the street. This club is a medium bar/small dancefloor club located right across the street from Coco Bongo and down the street from the Cancun Convention Center. We stumbled across this place because the line to get into Coco Bongo was so long to get in. We walked into this open aired bar/covered dancefloor and had a surprsingly good time. The staff was very nice and the service for a bar/ 1/2 dance club was pretty good. I rate this place as above average for the following reasons...

The price of drinks was pretty good. We are beer drinkers so we were drinking "buckets of ""Sol"" ". The price for 6 beers (full size 12 oz beers" was $200 pesos or about $20 bucks. For about a little over $3 bucks a beer in a tourist area for beer I feel is a pretty good price.

There are plenty of tables with tall stools to sit down or you could stand. It is open aired so you can see what is going on around you also.

During the course of the night, the staff will get up on the bars and do some sort of choreographed (hope I spelled that right!) dance which is entertaining. Also, they drop confetti during some parts of the night as well as give everyone balloons and make funny objects out of the balloons (and use them in funny ways if you know what I mean!) Finally, a spontaneous congo line would erupt every once in a while sparked by the staff which would spill out into the street and back into the bar.

They have all kinds of lights and lasers (not like coco bong by all means though) and the d.j. was actually pretty good playing a mix of current and past american dance music as well as latino music you could dance to. The dance floor is small and just so my fellow tripadvisors understand, this is NOT a club like the CITY or Coco Bong by any means. Just a fun place.

We returned a few other nights and stayed for a bit and moved on to a different club but it wasnt a bad place I thought to start out a night.

Finally, if it is a slow night, there are employees standing outside to try to get people to come in. We bargained with them and got 2 buckets for SOL at the price of 1 when it was slow in the beginning of the night! So always keep an eye out when it is slow. FINALLY, ALWAYS USE PESOS when in CANCUN! Dont' use U.S. Currency!
