Rumba Cafe

Tucked on the corner of Summit and Hudson streets, the Rumba Cafe could easily be mistaken for just another neighborhood watering hole — the kind of place you frequent because it offers a convenient stumble home.

Don’t be fooled. The club, open since Sept. 1, boasts more than the usual jukebox and pool table. In fact, it doesn’t even have a jukebox or pool table.

And with good reason: Six nights a week, the Rumba Cafe showcases live music ranging from Latin and soul to funk and rock. The idea is a onestop shopping spot for those whose taste in music goes beyond hearing Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl four times in one evening.
