An upscale, extremely overpriced bar and restaurant in Santo Domingo. They charge highway robbery prices, like 11,000 pesos for a bottle of Stoli you can get for 500 at a liquor store, those motherfuckers, like you are an idiot. It is the hangout for spoiled rich kids and people like Karim Abu Naba (a controversial Dominican socialite) to do tons of drugs. You see girls with the latest iPhones looking down on anyone with an older model as tacky. If you do not have a brand-new car, you are not getting in. You have to be a popi (a wealthy, light-skinned preppy) because they do not let in 'ugly' or poor people. It is 100 percent for pretentious snobs.
-Man, I want to go to Sbg because Lucia is there. -Are you fucking crazy? They charge half a million pesos just for parking.
