    You are going to find a very nice environment here. If you like to dance and have fun with friends and/or your couple, this is a great place for you to visit. Prices are good and people around will make you feel great.

    A great place to dance (and watch great dancers) of all kinds of Caribbean rhythms. The people that go there is very friendly and the cocktails are well done. Is a little small but the atmosphere is phenomenal.

    Excellent place if you are a Son and Salsa lover ! They play good Merengue, too. Bachata can be found also but mostly they play the other rhythms. A good mix of local and tourist dancers. It’s a bit small but I love their half open location and the ambience cannot be missed bec it’s positive vibes gets spread throughout the whole street. Water is slightly on the expensive end. Definitely my go to place on the weekends.

    This place is just for dancing or listening to latin music (merengue, bachata, salsa and maybe son). You can only buy drinks (no food). The space for dancing won't take more than 10 couples simultaneously.

    Very small place there is not space for dancing. People can not talk because the music is so loud.

    Small cozy disco bar. A bit crowded for my taste, mainly visited by the older generation but a very good place to start your dancing date of you are into merengue, salsa, son and bolero music. The people who visit seem to be regulars, so you won't find sketchy people around. Drinks were not expensive... All in all it was a good Dominican dance experience.

    Very small place but great energy. Very salsa heavy and little to no bachata as the night went on. Still, amazing energy with the salsa. If salsa and some merengue are your favorite dances, this would be 5 stars for you. If you want to dance mostly bachata and some merengue like me, just 4 stars. Even so, I will definitely go back. High energy with warm and friendly people.

    El Sartén is a unique latin music dance bar that cater to an adult audience. Young adults as well as third age dancers of all levels mingled in this reduced but cozy space to sway to the beat of Salsa, Son, Bachata and Merengue music.

  • 5/5 Reyni Thomas T. 3 years ago on Google
    Really a friendly bar, mostly made out of aged people but that's part of the charm (I'm used to go with my friends and we all enjoyed it) affordable prices, friendly ambience and most of all nice music. Most of the times there's always some people playing instruments too. It's not s big place but totally worth the visit if u like latín music even in it older versions like Son for example

  • 5/5 Robertson Mora E. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to enjoy all tropical or caribbean music, especially Salsa, Son, Guaracha Cubans. Also, if you are looking for dance and enjoy Merengue and some Bachata, you will more than welcomed. Good price. No cover. It is located in front of Safe Zone discotec at Zona Colonial, Hostos Steet.
