This place is your usual sports bar – a dozen TVs, chicken wings, burgers, etc., smack dab in the middle of Peru. You can always get a quick fix of English when you need it (not from the wait staff). I always at least stick my head in when I walk by, just to see who’s playing. They post a schedule of what is being shown outside (and have the list ready the day before), so you can plan your day around it if you need to. They show all games with English soundtracks.
The second floor sports a pool table, another bar, and a bunch more TVs of all sizes. The management usually has one guy who speaks passable English, and can usually find whatever game you're looking for. The food is sports bar passable and cheap by US standards, but a littlle high compared to Peruvian places. One time, I ran into the most beautiful girl looking for some American to take her to his hotel room and give her $50. It was only the one time, but I'm surprised at that. It seems like a natural place for hookers to drop bait.
If you go on Super Bowl Sunday, get there early. Last year, there wasn't a seat available anywhere in the joint an hour before kickoff.
