As a Latin dance enthusiast, I've wanted to come here for awhile (although I'm told it's really just a club and not a place for "serious dancing"). I braved the rain with two friends on a Saturday night. We took advantage of the free 9 PM beginner salsa lesson, which was fun. Shout-out to the teacher, Andres - he's very patient and even though I know how to dance salsa, I appreciate the way he breaks down the moves for absolute beginners.
Ladies can get in free before 10 PM on some days, and after that, it seems to be $16 before midnight. Not sure what the price after midnight is; in the past when I've walked past, the bouncer was saying $20, but maybe that has changed. That said, the night we were there, between 10-11:30 PM, it was pretty empty and low-energy. I'm not sure if it was because of the weather or what, but it was disappointing.
There are 2 parts to the club - a Latin music part, and a Hip Hop/Pop/Techno part and you can go in between them. We checked out both - the music was definitely better on the Latin side. Even though more people came in, no one was really dancing. Everyone was just standing or sitting along the wall or at the bar. I know people need to warm up, but still! The DJ was good! 3 stars for the lesson, the tequila shot, and the Latin music, but I'm being generous. Note: coat check is $3.
