"There are bars, there are clubs, and there are bars where you can dance. Damballa belongs to that last and hardest-to-track-down category. At this Bushwick bar from the team behind Cafe Erzulie across the street, you can pair a rhum-based Summer Sorel cocktail with a plate of yuca fries in the evening, and then dance to a DJ. Start with a few Spicy PB&J cocktails and then settle in. Damballa is worth a long hang, and sets often go until 4am. Keep an eye on their Instagram for upcoming events." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, andrew ryce
