I normally see a long line of people during the weekends, but Tuesday nites at Barcopa are a lot different - The bar isn't packed, the music is not loud, and it won't take a half an hour to walk through a crowd of people to get to the restroom. This spot on tuesday is very casual and low-key. It makes for a nice vibey evening for couples who want to lounge around and have a couple of drinks while up and coming djs practice their kung fu on the ones and twos.
Nobody likes to sit in an empty bar by themselves but the music is just too good to pass up on. The dj made a point that all he was going to play was the stuff he liked and "ALL YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR IS FUNK AND SOUL." That made me happy, I'm so tired of that top 40 radio nonsense!
I wouldn't be able to tell you what songs or artists he played, the stuff he had was rare and old...which is kind of weird because he uses a laptop to play music. The vibe is awesome, but don't expect to be walking into some raging party, because that's something you're going to have to bring on your own. Good drinks, friendly staff, loungy, casual atmosphere, excellent tunes. NO COVER.
