Held my sister’s baby shower here and the space was perfect. The staff even helped us with setting up the decor. Thank you so much!

I come here very often to attend free salsa and bachata classes on Fridays. They're good enough. After 23 pm it starts the Latin party. The DJ and dancers are really good. You have to try it.

We hosted a corporate event here back in November and were blown away by the setup. The view, the vibe, and the professionalism were great. Wished for nicer weather as the views were great. Thx

I don’t come here for anything other than Latin dance night and it’s one of my favorite places. On fridays they have free salsa and bachata classes from 7-9 and then open dance floor all night. It’s a great place for a group of friends or unique first date ideas. The atmosphere is light and playful and everyone is all smiles. Super flirty if you’re after hot dance connections ;) They also open up the rooftop after 11pm to dance so it’s even more fun! Highly recommend going every Friday if you want something different to do or just to get better at dancing. Everyone’s pretty accommodating and kind to beginners cos they know how hard it is when you’re just starting out.
