Salsathèque is widely recognized as a vibrant, intimate destination for those seeking an authentic dance experience in a welcoming atmosphere. Guests frequently praise the energetic music selection and the lively, mixed-age crowd that gathers specifically to enjoy Latin rhythms and dancing. While the venue is described as having a nostalgic, understated aesthetic, many patrons feel the fun vibe and social environment outweigh the physical condition of the club.

I've gone a few times now & have always had a fun time. You don't get bothered by other people as a woman just wanting to dance with her friends it's quite nice compared to other clubs. It's small & intimate & the decor is fun. With bottle service & free guest list it's worth the price. Sometimes they are a bit pushy for tips & payment but they have probably been jipped before. But that doesn't matter I have shown this place to many of my friends since discovering it.
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!
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.
