C A M A R A D A S el barrio is a worker's public house where camaraderie is built atop of a fine selection of wine, great beers from around the world, excellent music, gallery space and an innovative blend of the tapas tradition with Puerto Rican cuisine.

This uniquely styled space (designed by Daniel Gonzales/ Blue Collar Worker and owners Raúl Rivera, Orlando Plaza and Jay Zhao), reflects an industrial and rustic feel in its wood and metal design and decor. True to its working-class roots, C A M A R A D A S el Barrio celebrates the spirit of the unsung heros; the factory workers and laborers whose hard work and sweat help make New York City one of the industrial and financial centers of the world. This legacy of our working-class parents and grandparents has become a bright star in the Spanish Harlem bar, restaurant and entertainment scene.

Led by a creative and innovative kitchen staff, C A M A R A D A S has gained instant fame for redefining through quality and freshness traditional nuevo Puerto Rican and Latino cuisine in Upper Manhattan. The "entremeses" include alcapurrias, a tasty mofongo, an array of salads, skewed satay chicken and shrimp, spicy calamari, our own Barrio burger, chocolate empanadas and many other mouth-watering delights. Our Happy Hour (4PM to 7PM, Monday through Friday) includes $15 pitchers of red or white sangria and $4 pints of crisp and refreshing Radeberger, one of the most popular Pilsners in Germany.

Every Wednesday is Ladies Night, where we continue to serve our drink specials to 10PM

The bar/lounge offers a wide range of international and domestic beers with several on draught, as well as an exclusive selection of wines from Spain, Argentina, California and elsewhere.

We reserve most of our wall space to showcase photographs and paintings by local and international artists. New work is presented about every two months.

C A M A R A D A S el barrio has become a destination for those seeking quality entertainment in Upper Manhattan. Join us for a pint, intelligent conversation and great entertainment. On Thursday come and experience the sounds of the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora led by Yerbabuena and other Afro-Caribbean groups from Cuba, the Dominican Republic/Haiti and Colombia. Saturdays check our website to see which ground breaking fusion band is scheduled to play. Our entertainment, food, drink and hospitality is sure to draw you in, thank you and we hope to see you soon.

P.S. Nothing is too good for the working class.
