Get DirectionsAbout Rico Latino Amsterdam
Rico Latino (El Punto Latino) is a single-room Latin club on Lange Leidsedwarsstraat with one main dance floor, a DJ corner and a long bar. DJs mix salsa and bachata with reggaeton and dembow, and the venue typically runs from 22:00 into the small hours. There’s a staffed coat check and reviewers report a door charge plus occasional small cash fees for wardrobe and toilets, bring cash or be prepared to queue at the bar.
The crowd is mixed international; our events feed lists a weekly Latin party on Thursday, though the venue calendar and Google can show other party dates. Expect the floor to fill after midnight and stay busy until about 03:00–04:00. Staff enforcement of entry and cloakroom rules is mentioned in reviews, so carry ID and don’t expect a class-led warm-up here, this is primarily a DJ party. Check the website or Google for tonight’s DJ and cover.
