      This is for sure a whole in the wall. I ended up here after a concert and it is in the middle of nowhere. If you just want to dance then this is the place for sure. They had live music. Bring cash, they only take cash at the bar. Will definitely come back for the music.

      I don't know why this place has only two stars. I have been here three times, and every time I had the time of my life! I dance nonstop, and all the men there are gentlemen! Sometimes you will see a handsome man! If you want to go on a date or just go to dance and have a good time, this is the best place to be.

      I was invited on a Saturday to this place, it was 10:40, I paid the cover charge which by the way was not cheap. As soon as we entered this place, it didn't take me more than 15 minutes to want to leave. The bathrooms were horrible, dirty, and super small with a crowd of women trying to get in. There was no available table and if you find two tables and want to sit down, they want to charge you a fee because you have to buy a bottle and I don't know what else, for $250 when there were only two of us! There was no space, not even for a standing pin, so we went back to the front to get our money refunded. Why and how would anyone stay there? Stupidly, they say there is a policy that they don't refund the money. This is bullshit, they should also include in their stupid policy that there is no available table and that you have to stand like we're sheep, all crowded. If they had put this in their stupid policy, I would have never entered that horrible place. Extremely disappointed and not recommended at all. The owner's fifth-class place is a joke, I won't even talk about her arrogance in person.

      Nah man don't do it. Ask for prices before getting here. $40 cover charge because they had some cumbia band. $15 drinks, & $55 dollar buckets. Tisk tisk shame on you.

      I ended up here because of my Latino friend. And even though I'm more into Salsa/Bachata (Legacy night club every Tuesday) and not in a favor of live 'bandas', I have to say I had a good time here.
      The only thing that totally messed it up was the DJ. When he was playing he WOULD NOT SHUT UP, making the song delay for a split second but even that was enough to throw you off when you dance..
      If he wanted to say anything-sure...but do it between the songs...
      It's just sooooo ANNOYING
      If it wasn't for him I would've given this place better rating..

      Came here on a whim after dinner and was EXTREMELY impressed. I did not know that a place like this existed in this area. It seemed quiet from the outside, but as soon as I payed the cover charge and walked in, I was greeted by the cacophony of sounds and instruments. There was a live salsa/cumbia band on stage playing BANGERS.
      The place was on and poppin. The bar made decent micheladas and the dance floor was jumpin!

      I will certainly be coming back when I'm in the area.

      The vibe overall is good, I'm just a little pissed off at the lack of care for customer belongings. They force you to remove your hat at the door and leave it in the front on a chair with everyone else's hats. At closing time I go to get my hat with my friend who also left his hat and discovered clearly someone stole my hat but not my friend's hat. Don't make me remove my hat and then not watch it. Just didn't think anyone was petty enough to steal a used hat but whatever. We were charged $24 at the door I've been placed where entry is free and they'll hold down your gate until you leave for free. What's wild is the type of crowd didn't match the hat removal protocol LOL. 98% of the customers were wearing dress clothes. It wasn't even a expensive hat straight up a black Cookies SnapBack LOL. It was a bit cramped but it's either too big that it looks dead or small enough to look poppin.

      It was too packed. Lot of Cumbia and Banda. Not enough salsa nor bachata music on tropical night Saturday. DJ mostly played regeton y Spanish rock. It was alright.
