Flamenco Fridays at 3Vinos (VidaSalsera.com)

If you can't picture a crowd of people lined-up for 45 minutes at the intersection of Citrus and College in Covina, you have not been around on a Saturday night since the new spot - 3Vinos - opened its doors.

3Vinos, a Latin cuisine restaurant which menu offers selections from Spain, Cuba and Argentina, in a short four months has become a serious contender as the nightlife center in Covina. With black and red plush lounge seating, a restaurant area, and a smoking patio, 3Vinos is attracting the 30-plus professionals of the area, lured not only by the modern set-up but by the variety of entertainment the venue offers.

Beginning this Wednesday, January 20, Super DJRobby will host a Salsa night. This will round-up the already established nights of "DJ Top 40 and rock en Espanol Thursdays", the "Flamenco Fridays", the "Live Salsa Band" on Saturdays [mind you, the four piece band is there only for an hour around 9 pm. After that the place turns into a madhouse of pop and rock classics], and the brunches on Sundays. A happy hour is also offered every week day from 4 pm to 7 pm and Sundays from 1 pm to 6 pm.

3Vinos is located at 201 North Citrus Ave, in Covina. More information at http://www.3vinos.com. There is no cover charge at the door. Dress code strictly enforced.
