I love this place so much!!! I go to the goth nights and other events held here and it has always been so welcoming, friendly and accepting. The music is great, lots of room to dance, great bar menus and prices, multiple rooms with different music, clean restrooms, super friendly staff and clubbers and just a blast to spend the night. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!!!
WHERE is the zero star option?! This place is a disgrace to the Afro Latino community and the African diaspora as this is where this music derived from. A lot of the major salsa artists (greats/legends) talk a lot about racism, Afro Latin pride and grace in their most famous songs. A very racist club. They play Black Latino music yet the DJs look at you with the utmost disrespect when you request a song from the artists that look like you... Which is the MAJORITY of the artists that they play. Mind you, they supposedly encourage requests. Case in point: The DJs are extremely disrespectful. I went to request a song on the salsa side and WAS IGNORED. I had to consistently get their attention so I could make my presence known and when they finally chose to turn around it was the most rude look on their faces and demeanor. I requested a VERY popular song that is HUGE in the Latino community... THAT song that I requested is A SUPER MAJOR HIT FROM A HUGELY FAMOUS COMPOSER, WRITER, PRODUCER AND ARTIST that has produced many songs for other major artists. He didn't know the artist (AGAIN, since you are NOT familiar with the culture, this is what happens) instead, I was given the third degree asking what type of song i was requesting (remember I'm on the salsa side) and can people dance to it he asked me to pull this major ARTIST up on his phone and he said that he will play it IF PEOPLE CAN DANCE TO IT AND HE HAS TO LISTEN TO IT FIRST. never in all of my years in the Caribbean/Latin community have I ever heard that. Never one REAL DJ. This poor excuse of a so called dj played a portion of it and while people was still dancing to the song, HE CUT THE SONG OFF. I have never seen a real DJ do this. When a song is requested, you play the full song or the majority of it. And the part that he cut off was at the height of the song. When he cut it off, he didn't have the skill to mix the song in with another salsa song, nope. Mind you, these DJs are so inexperienced, they consistently play all the songs that they choose to the end. The climate of the people that come to the place is HORRIFIC, the people CANNOT DANCE, NO rhythm, no soul... Sad to say that it is comical. You are suffering the whole night witnessing ballroom dancing and they want to slap the word salsa or bachata on it. I have spoken to the new people that are from Sacramento and they felt bad because they would try to dance with these people that so-called know how to dance, and because beginners have rhythm they couldn't keep up and couldn't flow with these people that are so called trying to teach them how to dance salsa bachata merengue etc. Their (the newbies) bodies was telling them which way to go with the music and they were told by these "teachers" to go the opposite direction. I told them it is not your fault because they are not teaching you correctly. It was like I gave them hope and it took a lot of weight off of their shoulders because they really thought they were in the wrong... there is rhythm... it's coming from a very rhythmic people that created the dance and the music. you cannot have the beauty of this music without the rhythm and the soul. The Caribbean/Afro Latino community/culture (from where this music is from) is not represented in Sacramento so you witness people who are not from the community destroy the image and give people who are new to the genre of music A HUGE MISCONCEPTION OF THE CULTURE. A word from the wise, if you want to learn how to dance and learn about the community, where the music is coming from, you will NOT learn it there. Your best option and ONLY option is go on YouTube. I have been blessed to learn from the community when I was on the east coast... That is where everyone is. The Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Panama, etc. Since the community is not in Sacramento, the DJs are NOT trained, do not know how to mix, do not know many artists, they do not respect the community that they stole the music from and sadly get profit from. I will NEVER waste another dime of my hard earned money in this place.
