Review & Rating
Great Dance nights! Brasil's knows how to host a Latin nights. Good music, good crowd and a fair cover.
A mandatory place to go salsa dancing when I am in town!
A bit on the smaller side for a club, but definitely one of the best salsa clubs in philly. They offer free salsa classes a few times a week. It's a great way to try something new and meet new people. I only wish the served larger mixed drinks. The red bull vodka glass I received was on the shorter side.
Went to the salsa dance instruction class Wednesday night and had a great time! The instructor was good at directly both men and women and made it fun. Then it was open-floor dancing. My only wish is that the space was bigger. I most definitely go back.
Salsa is NOT brazilian. People in Brazil don't even know what that hispanic dance is (brazilians are NOT hispanics). Many brazilians don't like or don't even know what salsa is (trust me)...what the rec someone decided to establish a place call "brazilian salsa"???? LOL
I like the nightclub to dance
Great places atmosphere is great. You can also learn how to salsa for an hour Saturdays. But the bartender service is extremely slow I can't stand it. We had this huge jacked guy make are drinks. He was slow and didn't knew how to make drinks. Asked for a kamikaze and got a bay breeze. He needs to be fired.
Ordered a soda and the bartender brought the wrong soda and charged me $7 for a soda when the more expensive beers were $3. Waited 20 minutes for the soda too. It took 10 minutes for the bartender to stop avoiding eye contact and serving tons of people that came to the bar after me and 10 minutes to get the drink since she spent 9 of those minutes casually chatting with a friend of hers that came in. As I it was the wrong soda too. It wasn’t even relatively close like me ordering a Coke and getting a Diet Coke instead. When I tried to politely correct her she she just shrugged and said $7. Last time I go to this place
Went here on a Saturday for their 9:30 salsa lesson. The guy who instructs it is very good and breaks down the dance into very basic steps that are practiced a bunch before adding on another step. Don't expect to have one on one time with your date as the lesson involves rotating partners every 30 seconds. This as weird as it sounds was a great way to learn dance as it lets you practice your own moves and learn from each of your partners before coming back to your original date. Drinks were average. They had a Melon ball drink special that was absolutely terrible: melon liquor, vodka and pineapple... couldn't drink that so stuck to gin and soda for $8 a drink. They have $3 Coronas, which seems like a decent deal for people who drink beer
Super fun for dancing, and the staff and service is amazing! Came for the salsa dancing and was not disappointed! I feel like a pro now. Also had a great time at the bar. We ordered a hookah up from downstairs an they have really good happy hour deals. Kat and Vanessa we two of the servers working when I was there and they were very quick, and super friendly. Can't wait to come back another night soon!
