It is located in an old mansion that now also houses the restaurant El Imparcial, and has survived several attempts at demolition. The space was remodeled and redecorated with exquisite taste, and of course it still has a 55-seat cinema so that celluloid fans can watch a movie while having a drink. Click here to discover more.
