Haha, I have lots of bright and funny memories about Socialito, because there was no Saturday, and sometimes even Friday, that I did not spend there. Parties, sleepovers, night life… Well, it’s really good that someone came up to make Sunday a day off.

I am not a particular fan of the nightlife, I would prefer to go to a jazz concert, in a theater or drink a bottle of wine in a quiet and pleasant company. But Socialito has its special atmosphere and you just want to return there again and again.
