La bomba

About

“La Bomba” is a vibrant, recurring Latin Night and drag event hosted at Number One Fifth Avenue, a proudly LGBT-owned and operated dive bar in San Diego’s Hillcrest neighborhood. Presented by resident DJ PUR FLO, the night transforms the bar into a high-energy cabaret and dance space, celebrating Latin music, drag culture, and community. The event typically starts at 9:00 PM, with show segments (often around 10:30 PM) featuring local drag talent and guest DJs. Using the venue’s intimate layout, performers interact closely with the audience, creating an immersive nightlife experience rather than a formal theatrical staging. The series is consistently promoted through local aggregators and social channels and is known for its signature $8 Cazadores Margaritas and Mules drink specials. While the core concept is steady—Latin beats, drag showcases, and community vibes—the lineup of queens and guest DJs rotates, keeping each edition fresh while maintaining the event’s distinctive energy.
