Nice but small space. Main space was very small crowded couldn’t dance. Hard to see burlesque on top balcony and only one came out briefly. One bartender did good for being solo. The cigar lounge was bigger with another bar but Smokey lol. No food service.

This place is just awesome. The shows are entertaining and really professional level. Highly recommended place to visit once in your life.

Well I went on Tuesday for the salsa class. I heard classes were Tuesday and Wednesday. I had a late rush at work so I got there late. The instructor singled me out and announced that I can't be late 🙄 It shouldn't matter, we are there to have fun and enjoy the free class. Class is 8p-10p

Ugh I love this place so much! The vibes, the music, everything! I've gone for salsa class on Tuesdays and Jose is an incredible teacher. Not to mention, it's so fun to practice what you learned afterwards. Definitely a great place to go any day of the week!

I always have so much fun at this place! They play good music, service and drinks are good. The bad thing is that bathrooms are always dirty and it gets packed!! You can barely move or dance. They should definitely have a maximum amount of people that can get in. I’d highly recommend getting a table and don’t ask for those mojito big jars they taste bad! Just get a regular bottle with mixers We spent around $800 for a table with 20% gratuity and taxes that are included

Finally found a Latin dancing spot in LA! Burlesque show every hour. Great music!!

Bouncer was rude allowed ppl to cut in front of others. Kept pushing table service on ppl who were waiting and tried to sell “you’ll wait less if you get a table” be prepared to deal with being groped and security not doing anything about it.
