The Old Broadway Cafe

The Old Broadway Cafe

Ladies seem to like taking slinky dresses and dancing heels on vacation, even to a sandals, shorts, and sunburn locale like Mazatlan. Well, suddenly there's a reason to bring along that glitter gown--there is now a Manhattan night club in town. The Old Broadway Cafe is a bright splash of urban glitz on the Maz night: a big room with red leatherette booths, concert lighting, hardwood dance floor, grand piano, and everything that goes with the big photos of Frank and the Rat Pack on the walls. The decor, linens, and waitstaff signal sophistication and the menu continues the feeling: expensive but not exorbitant, lush, rich, and with that elusive scent of spoiling one's self.

But basically the Broadway is a music venue, and the music steps right up to the standards set by the ambience. Jazz musicians in Mazatlan? Better believe it. Gayle Lee has a pile of "Best Vocalist" awards from her San Diego years, while Lorenzo Gariga was a classical prodigy before studying on three continents and switching to the challenge of jazz. The guy will amaze you--just don't try to understand his Paris-accented English. Manhattan Beat shows you that Latins also know a thing or two about comping and syncopation. But the nights to go are Tuesday and Thursday, when a superbly talented jazz dance troupe called Night Steps creates a cleverly choreographed caberet reminiscent of adagio in a Riviera cellar.

Whether you want to eat like a king, drink like Deano, hear top musicians, or hell, just watch a basketball game from the big bar, the Old Broadway is NOT what you expect on a Mexican beach.
