My
first
time
going
here
after
frequenting
alot
of
other
Bay
Area
Salsa
spots.
The
Pros:
the
crowd
is
probably
the
best
thing,
some
really
good
dancers
seem
to
come
and
the
music
when
I
went
was
decent.
The
Cons:
For
a
venue
in
the
SF
boonies
that
invariably
means
you
have
to
drive
or
Uber,
they
are
over
priced
and
try
to
nickel
and
dime
you
at
every
turn.
When
I
went
on
a
Friday,
$25
for
a
cover
is
steep
considering
it
wasn't
really
packed,
only
two
rooms
were
open,
there
was
no
live
band,
just
a
dj
who
at
times
probably
just
qued
a
playlist
from
their
phone.
Annoyingly,
there
is
an
extra
charge
for
the
coat
check
and
plastic
dixie
cups
of
water,
I
don't
think
they
have
water
fountains.
PSA
to
whoever
runs
this
venue,
If
you're
gonna
host
dance
centric
nights
with
classes
and
charge
people
alot
of
money
to
just
get
in,
and
you're
not
having
to
pay
a
band,
what
are
people
paying
for?
How
hard
is
it
to
just
set
up
a
self
serve
water
station,
obviously
ppl
are
hot,
drinking
and
are
going
to
need
to
drive
home
you
don't
use
real
cups
so
the
excuse
of
washing
dishes
isn't
a
thing...
(Yes,
this
is
a
Hill
I'm
willing
to
die
on,
this
little
thing
makes
the
club
look
lazy
and
cheap).
Final
verdict,
the
people
are
great
the
venue
is
mid.
There
are
better
places
that
are
less
expensive,
in
better
locations,
consistently
have
great
live
bands,
offer
coat
racks,
seating,
water...
Cigar
Bar
in
Downtown
SF,
La
Pena
Cultural
Center
in
Berkeley
when
they
have
parties,
Zanzi
&
Sundays
at
Brooklyn
Basin
in
Oakland
(a
free
btw)
put
more
thought
and
consideration
into
curating
a
positive
experience.
I
might
come
back,
but
I'm
not
excited
about
it.
