Thursday

Comments: Live salsa band on Thursday's and Saturday nights. Large club, with raised stage, and ample free parking outside!  This club draws a great crowd, on both Thursday and Saturday nights, but Thursdays tend to be more of a "Dancer's night", while Saturday is more of a "party" crowd. Both nights play 90% salsa! Huge outside area, with covered seating and heat lamps, for those crisp winter (and summer) nights, and complete dinner menu as well.
