About this place Karamba Nightclub

Karamba is a Latin gay nightclub on East McDowell Road in central Phoenix, a dance club with reggaeton, cumbia and Latin pop rather than a chat bar. It also runs drag shows and themed nights, and it draws a largely Latino crowd, mostly gay men with plenty of friends along. It's a late-night venue, quiet early and full after 11pm at weekends. Drinks are cheaper than in Scottsdale clubs, and there's usually a cover on show nights. The rest of Phoenix's gay bars are spread along nearby stretches of Seventh Avenue and Melrose, so you'll need a ride between them.

Terrible. I was advised that this was a cool place to hang out. I have lived in Arizona my whole life. Wanted a place to go and dance the night away. Wrong this place was so disappointing. The Dj said to wait ten minutes. Omg. No one is dancing What a disaster. Exploring downtown for a change of pacesm thank d place sucks. Just wanted dance old school. Ugh. Not sure of these singers are for real or impersonators. The Lyft driver said this was a fun place but not. No one is dancing.

It's not Hamburger Mary's but it's the Phoenix area's best effort.

Great spot! They had $8 pitchers of beer and Truly seltzers, which was a nice deal. $8 cover. Entertaining drag show. Great bartenders. The music and atmosphere were fun, with mostly reggaeton and EDM playing throughout the night. Since I love Latin music, I was hoping to hear a little more variety, like bachata, merengue, or salsa. It was my first time there, though, so maybe those genres are played later in the evening. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back!
