The Muse

The Muse

This is more of a lounge than a bar. It is very laid back, small, filled with couches in tiny nooks. They have live music most night which consists of usually only two or three people playing music. The trio played everything from Stairway to Heaven to La Bamba, all in Spanish of course. The music they played before the live music was terribly slow and was much like what you would here on lite FM at the dentist office. The Pisco Sours here were better than most, and they have a cappuccino machine with an excellent liqueur hot chocolate.

It is open all day and late into the evening. It's easy to find, it is right above the fountain in San Blas next to the cathedral. I think the location is really what sells the place. The drink prices are high, and you won't find free drink coupons like on the square. The food is reasonably priced, and worth the money if you don't mind eating on a couch. It sort of made me feel like home.

We went on two occasions and my friend ordered a plate of pasta salad and sandwich. It looked better than the trout I had at the restaurant. They sell some interesting art for laughable prices, but I guess some one buys it. The bartender Christian knows where the party is, and he took some of my friends to a local rave. Overall, this is a great place to practice your Spanish, or have a relaxing drink with a friend. Just don't confuse it with the hippest bar in town.
