I loved this club. It was the first time I've been to a Salsa club and was a bit nervous about the dancing! However the atmosphere and the friendly people soon got me having fun and dancing.

Some reviews have found the men sleazy but I thought they were very polite and if you said no thanks to a dance they respected that. You have to be expected to be approached by men, they need someone to dance with!

I will definately be going back and will be bringing even more friends next time.

Most of the reviews here are pretty old, so I hope it doesn't reflect how the club currently is. Been to Salsa! on a Wed and Thurs for lessons and to dance, and have enjoyed the atmosphere. Most guys are pretty friendly and willing to ask girls for a dance, so you don't end up standing around too much if you went there by yourself. Met some lovely friends there too, who willingly introduced me to their friends so I never felt too 'foreign'. Been to other places before where people just stuck to their own clique, or weren't brave enough to welcome a newbie into their circle. Sleazy guys are in every salsa scene (unless you go with friends), and you just have to say 'no'.
Can't comment on the food as I haven't tried, but hey, it's meant for salsa!
I've been to many different dance socials, be it swing, ballroom, latin, ceroc, salsa... and I certainly did enjoy the music mix, the people, and my visits to Salsa! So would recommend it to anyone who's free on wed or thurs night (and possibly the other nights too)!

Big dance floor but on some days not big enough. Last Saturday night was very busy. Learning the basic steps was easy but they could have done away with the silly "warm up" to Ibiza style music. Crowd is very varied and you'll see lots of beginners but once the lesson is over the more experienced dancers take over. Cannot confirm "the seaze". Yes, you'll get asked to dance (shock! horror!) as this is Salsa and not a night club to wiggle about and people getting pissed. But if you don't like to dance just say so and you'll be left alone. Food is a bit tex-mex style but i have only eaten once. After all you'll go there to dance :-)
Week days are less busy and it starts conveniently around 7:30ish, so, perfect timing for an after work Salsa session and still be home by 10ish considering the lessons finishing around 8 or 9pm, depending on the day. Crowd is London office working folks mostly, especially on weekdays, with a few tourists thrown in.

It's true! Full of sleazy guys that maul you wherever you go! The guys are not respectful and do not leave you alone!

Weeknights might be better for serious dancers. Saturdays - the standard of dancers was really poor.

Some good music but a strange mix of crappy disco in between.

They play odd spurts of reggaeton which is good but needs to be more up to date.

I have been around 5 times over the last few years but it seems this place is becoming sleazier every time!

Too packed to dance properly - expect to be bashed, stepped on and grabbed :(

rubbish...
place full of sad looking ppl, who scared 2 dance to the crappyly slow music, which dj keeps interrupting...

This is the letter of complaint i sent today to this awful place.

I would like to complain about the appalling service and food we received on Saturday the 10th of November.
We had an 8:15 meal booked. we did bring one more person than we booked for which you couldn't immediately accommodate, we accept that this was our fault and we were told this would delay our meal by around half an hour. this was no problem at all. we were also asked to order at that point to help speed things up, which we did. About 15 mins later our complementy drinks were brought to the table.....well no they never made it as far as the table a tray of 12 bottles of san miguel and 1 fruit smoothiee got tiped over the back of one of out party members, glass was smashed over the floor and our dining area was made very slippery, the poor person was apoligised to and offerd a "shirt" to which he replied "No thanks i don't whish to ware any of your branded merchendise". No body from management came to apoligise and not even free drink was offered. one of the ladys from the group needed to go to the toilets to clean her hand bag because of the splash the beer had made hitting the floor. due to the resturant area being packed do tightly, with only really enough space for one peoson to get through she was finding it a slow process working her way through the crowd, this wasn't helped by a rude waiter pushing her in the back and demading she get out the way because he needed to get through, she rightly replied where can i go, look at all the people in my way, he barked back just move now.....This is not how a waiter should treat a customer.
By the time our main course finally arrived it was 22:20 which was a full 2 hours since we sat down partly this was out own fault for the whole extra person we brought with us, but we were told of may be a half hour delay not 2 hours. when the main course arrive it was almost enedable, the torttilas had not been warrmed in the slighest, the "di

I can't comment on the food or creepy men - I just went to learn Salsa, and have to say it was great fun. Beginners lessons are friendly, well organised and a snip at £5.00 per hour. My class ended with beaming smiles, as we all nailed down the basics, and wanted more, more salsa!



As a dance novice I didn't pre-book, opting to go alone, arriving just before 7pm on a Monday evening. After ditching my coat I made way downstairs to a wide open basement. The decor was not exceptional, if anything a touch cliched with simple colours - think Tex-Mex bar, but with a big dance floor.



The Salsa lessons were great and highly recommended. Thank you Salsa!

Went to Salsa! on Friday night and we are not rushing back. The lessons are great fun, but the service is very poor, with rude waiters who do not give you a chance to enjoy yourself before you are asked leave the table. Salsa! is not for me!

Salsa! is the best salsa bar in London. It has a very friendly atmosphere, with mostly foreingers. There are also lots of horny guys and wild girls who grab each other all night long. The Salsa! drinks and food sucks though.

If you love dancing and like dancing with people this is the place for you. The people at Salsa! are polite and the men are such gentlemen when asking you to dance.


I have to say it started off slowly but once the music starts your hips and feet just take over, and when your feet start hurting you to the point where you can't walk that's when you know you have had a good night and thats the night you get at Salsa!

If you just want to dance, get sweaty and be groped Salsa! is the place for you. If however you fancy a good night out with good food and cocktails, and space to dance with nice people, I would suggest you go elsewhere. Saturday night was a nightmare and I won't be rushing back.


There was no welcome drink at Salsa!, and the menu didn't reflect what was served. The dance teachers were nice and the lesson was a laugh, except you were being watched by the slimey men who were going to grope you later on in evening.

Want to have fun and dance, then Salsa! is for you. We had a fabulous party, plus three friends have booked birthdays there too. The lessons are great, and they are friendly people. Don't come if you are serious, and not up to party. Thursday at Salsa! is great too.

Salsa! is a nice place with good music and a fun atmosphere however it was far too hot for me, and our group had to leave after about half an hour because it was too stuffy! But otherwise Salsa! is a great place for music and dancing.

We went to Salsa! on Saturday and there were practically 15 other hen night parties there. If you want something special Salsa!is not the place to go. The dancing lessons were average, the food was slow to arrive and bland, and the atmosphere was non-existent.

I went to Salsa last night and it was the worst night of my life. Please only go here if you don’t mind being groped, and followed round the club by every man in there. Also, the average age of the men was 40+. It was extremely overcrowded and only worthwhile if you like the taste of sweat. Salsa was a complete waste of money.

Salsa is a great venue, thoughthe nights do vary. On Saturday, Salsa is best for parties with lots of fun dance music, Thursday night is for great dance lessons and more serious Salsa dancing. It depends what you want. Just go with an open mind and enjoy the latin spirit.

Well, Salsa! used to be great, I used to go there practically every week, but the last two times have been terrible. I went on Saturday for the LAST time, they played only one merengue and one salsa song between 12-2am...it was all stuff like Grease Lightning. I like a mixture but it was all crap music, the club was well overpacked as well with too many sleazes (to the point where you couldn't dance) and really too expensive for what it is!



I'm really sorry to see how Salsa! has changed from a great Latin party venue to a sleazy pick up joint.

I visited Salsa! for a friends hen night and, although the food and service left a lot to be desired, I had a great night of salsa dancing...even though it was a Saturday night! There were many good dancers there that night. I will be returning shortly and have heard that Mondays are the best nights to go to Salsa!

I went to Salsa! on Saturday night for my friend's hen night, the dancing was fantastic as was the bar. The Salsa! food, on the other hand, was disgusting, over priced and cold!

Salsa! is absolutly amazing! You go there to have fun, dance and enjoy yourself. If you like to dance to a range of latin, reggae and old time classics then Salsa! is the spot or you.

The entry price is affordable and drinks are too. Either go with one friend or with loads - whichever you choose you are guaranteed a fanatastic night.

I've been 5 times and am planning to go again sooon. See you there.

I've been to Salsa! five times, obviously it's very good! The staff are helpful and friendly and the atmosphere is great, everyone is there to have fun and dance. The bar is good at reasonable prices and the entrance fee is good too.

It can get very hot but it's worth it as it's just a great experience. On Saturdays at Salsa! there are a lot of group bookings but this doesn't stop you from having a great night there.

There is live music which is good if you have a great salsa partner but other than that the DJ is great and plays tunes wich will have you longing to dance. There are a lot of guys so ladies watch out, and some nice ones I must say.

If you want a lively, dancing, fantastic night out, Salsa! will not fail to please you! It's great and I'm planning my next visit soon.

Salsa! is a very good venue for people who want to dance. Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays are the best days. For food, you get what it says on the tin.

Salsa! is a great Venue. I have a good time, every time. Hey, I'm going there tonight.

I had my birthday party at Salsa last Friday. It was so bad, the food was late, cold and very expensive. We have to eat on the dance floor because our table was in there. Couldn´t talk, too noisy. Service was very bad. I will never go to Salsa again.

Dunno what these people are talking about - I went to Salsa! last week with a bunch of Colombian mates and had a great time - friendly people, helpful waiters and seriously - not that expensive!!!

Salsa! is awful, unless of course you have £15.95 to waste on a so called 'vegetarian meal' which consists of 2 onion rings, 1 spring roll and a couple of potato wedges for starters and about 2 tiny fajitas for the main course. What a disappointment! We booked a table at Salsa! for a surprise party and the main surprise was the distinct lack of salsa music (YMCA was played) and the fact that the venue is all wrong for dancing. Not forgetting the fact that the set menu at £15.95 did not include the service charge. Never again!

The food at Salsa! is pretty poor if I'm honest, but the ambience is fantastic. It's always packed in there and I've never had a bad night at Salsa! - just some bad food!

But seriously, if you're after a good night out then this is a great place.

I had heard mixed reviews about Salsa! including pick up joint and bad food but a small group of us went on a Friday night for a girls' night out and were pleasantly surprised. The food was fine - pretty much what you'd expect for Tex-Mex and as we booked a table for 9.30pm we got to keep it for the rest of the night which was good. As for calling it a pick up joint I have to disagree. Sure, you get asked to dance but it's difficult to dance to that kind of music on your own. It's really all about the dancing and it's great to see men (mostly South American) who really enjoy and are good at dancing. All in all, Salsa is a fun night but don't expect to hear any tunes you recognise!

Salsa is great place for salsa dancing. The best nights are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday (90% of the people on this night are Brazilians) and Thursday. Over the weekend is not as good as it is during the week. I definitely recommend the place for those of you that enjoy salsa dancing like myself.

Visited Salsa on Saturday night. It was absolute chaos. The waiters were running round like headless chickens, party revellers spilled off the dancefloor and lurched round our table as we tried to eat...that is when the food finally came! It took 1 hour for the starter, another hour for the main course and I had to ask 3 times for the red wine I ordered which was white when it turned up! Service was appalling and it ruined our night!

If you like Latino music and are there to dance salsa with people then you'll have a good time. If you want somewhere where you wish to dance on your own admiring yourself then you should go to a standard London club.

If you are into salsa dancing and don't mind being mauled on the dancefloor by every passing male then you might enjoy a night out at Salsa. That is only if you don't eat there as the food is appalling and very expensive for what you get. Last night I was served vegetarian bean burritos with brussels sprouts - an interesting combination.
