Description

Capsule description: By 9 p.m. on a weekend evening, the Copacabana is filling up as the salsa band kicks it into high gear. The famed nightclub's first location outside of New York City opened in the fall of 2012, and the owners have successfully recreated the Copacabana experience here in South Florida. You might not bump into any Yankees legends (like Micky Mantle, who used to frequent the New York club) and you won't see Sammy Davis Jr. perform, but don't be dismayed. A middle-aged crowd brings a surprising amount of energy that the club's dancers and performers match. The Copacabana offers a small menu -- no more than a dozen items -- of elevated bar snacks such as shrimp tacos, mini pork tostadas, and veal and pork meatballs, many fetching the same price as the $12 mojitos. While the food is satisfying, it's the drinks and dancing that make it worth a visit. The passionate, proud musicians, along with the enthusiastic dancers, will make you wonder why anyone would ever want bottle service while some androgynous European DJ plays a generic untz-untz-untz beat.
