Pachamama – Salsa Dancing every Saturday
Pachamama brings the colour, passion and flavour to the rooftop. From bold Mexican plates to tequila cocktails and panoramic city views, it’s your new favourite spot to unwind, dance and connect.
Sunset Salsa on the Rooftop every Saturday, when the rooftop comes alive with music, movement and the joy of social dance. Start the night with a complimentary introduction from the Sabor Dance Company, then join the crowd as the sun sets and the salsa begins. No experience needed, just bring your energy.
