Halles St-Géry now hosts art exhibitions by day, and the bar cranks of an evening when DJs spin funk, house and more.

On Sunday night mojitos are half priced, Red Stripe beers from Jamaica are $3, and Jesse de la Peña spins Latin funk and a dance hall Afro-beat.

DJs and live bands rotate nightly here, spinning tiki lounge tones, '80s garage rock, punk, funk and soul.

Its secret is high-quality live jazz gigs from Spain and around the world at 11.30pm every night, followed by DJs spinning funk, soul, nu jazz, blues and innovative groove beats.
