Si les meilleurs salseros de la ville pensent que Salsathèque est muy caliente, alors vous savez que ça va chauffer! Dans un décor où les miroirs et les lumières sont au rendez-vous, les amateurs de musique des pays chauds peuvent aussi bien se trémousser sur la piste de danse, prendre un verre aux bars ou se prélasser dans les fauteuils installés comme dans une salle de cinéma. Ainsi, vous pouvez danser à en perdre le souffle ou admirer les danseurs pivoter et se déhancher.
Reviews of Salsathèque present a mixed picture: some describe a rundown venue with old disco vibes, a steep cover, occasionally unfriendly service, and subpar toilets, while others praise the dancing atmosphere, a crowd that shifts by night, and energy on the floor, noting that the music can be great for dancing even if it lacks a pure salsa or Latin focus. The main draw seems to be the vibe and the dance experience, with booth seating and reasonable bottle prices for groups cited as positives, and staff and security described as friendly and attentive by some. However, other critiques point to expensive near the dance floor, long lines or crowded spaces, decor that feels dated or resort-like, and a de-emphasis on authentic Latin sounds in favor of a broader club mix. Overall, Salsathèque is viewed as a club with strong music and potential for a lively night, especially for dancers, but experiences vary widely in terms of music style, service, and value.
We had a great time there! Can't speak to the drinks much since we only took a couple shots. Otherwise, the vibes were good! Up beat music, most of it Spanish, some popular non-Spanish songs were also played. All music you could dance to. As people in their mid/late twenties, we had a great time. The crowd was varied in terms of ages. Seating available around the dance floor. Coat check mandatory, but cheap. No lineup to wait outside. We'd definitely go again:). We got there at 11:15am, & it started to get more busy at 11:30am/midnight. As people said in other reviews, people actually go there to dance, so it was great!
PRO: - mixed age clients, a few came by themselves & danced like nobody was watching, which i loved.
- Mixed latino music kept the ( small) ring full.
-Big & small tables available, no reservation necessary, 13$ for entrance & coat.
- we were 2 women only, lots of latino bystanders, yet, everyone was respectful
- loved that the waiters took a moment to dance & enjoy;
CON: drinks are watered down ( 13$)my 2 cocktails tasted like sugary coloured water.
Overall, i recommend only for music & atmosphere

Dangereux pour les femmes seules, beaucoup d'hommes seul sur le dance floor s'adonne à tripoter les femmes sans gêne ! sans exagérer on dirait une parodie à la fin il y avait au minimum 10 gars creepy à surveiller la prochaine trop saoule, on dirait un réseau. Ma copine & moi avons dû nous interposer entre plusieurs groupes de jeunes filles & les creepy... les jeunes femmes nous on remercié & averti la sécurité sans vraiment de résultats. aucune issue de secours à l'étage. je ne comprends pas que ce club soit encore en opération. Pour en ajouter le club est mal propre & on s'essuie les mains avec des mouchoirs dans les vielles salles de bains... si j'avais pu j'aurais mi 0 étoiles.
I've been to Salsathèque a few times with my girlfriend since we started clubbing. The place is pretty rundown & gives old disco vibes. There's a $12 cover that includes nothing, & the toilets are awful.
We keep going back because the music is great. The crowd changes depending on the night - sometimes it's young, sometimes older with people who really know how to dance, which we enjoy more. What's nice is that people actually go there to dance, so you can just enjoy yourself.
Bottle prices are good & worth it if you're with a group, since you also get a booth to sit at (something you don't get with single drinks).
Overall, it's not about the looks, but the music & vibe make it worth it.
I was hoping for more salsa & Latin dance music, but it was really just another club with a Latin touch to their DJ beats. Not what I was looking for.
If you're just looking to dance & aren't picky on music style, you should have a good time. Although the dance floor was a bit on the small side.
Loved the place. Amazing prices, great staff. The service was very impeccable. The doormen & security was top notch & very kind & respectful.
The main server (A respectable man in a white shirt & tie with black goatee & black slicked back hair) gave me & my girls amazing service, by far the best I have gotten in a long time. He even went to the convenience store to get us something! Talk about a A1 service!!!
Everyone was smiling & even the owner would come out & talk to us.
This club is by far the best dance club in the city!
I highly suggest it!

If you're into the sleaze bar scene with a Latin twist, this is the place. Great, loud music with a sticky dance floor from dried up split drinks. Did I tell you it has that raunchy bar vibe. 😉 Bar service was fast & with a smile - not typical for a place like this. DJ was excellent - spinning hit after hit song. I highly recommend this place if you're into that sort of scene.
