Salsa and Bachata at Dance Fridays - Space 550

Best place for dancing bachata, salsa and kizomba! I have a great time whenever I'm here. Floors are nice and clean for dancing. There's a space for birthday celebrations near the bar. Crazy good bands make me want to dance forever !

My first time going here after frequenting alot of other Bay Area Salsa spots. The Pros: the crowd is probably the best thing, some really good dancers seem to come and the music when I went was decent. The Cons: For a venue in the SF boonies that invariably means you have to drive or Uber, they are over priced and try to nickel and dime you at every turn. When I went on a Friday, $25 for a cover is steep considering it wasn't really packed, only two rooms were open, there was no live band, just a dj who at times probably just qued a playlist from their phone. Annoyingly, there is an extra charge for the coat check and plastic dixie cups of water, I don't think they have water fountains. PSA to whoever runs this venue, If you're gonna host dance centric nights with classes and charge people alot of money to just get in, and you're not having to pay a band, what are people paying for? How hard is it to just set up a self serve water station, obviously ppl are hot, drinking and are going to need to drive home you don't use real cups so the excuse of washing dishes isn't a thing... (Yes, this is a Hill I'm willing to die on, this little thing makes the club look lazy and cheap). Final verdict, the people are great the venue is mid. There are better places that are less expensive, in better locations, consistently have great live bands, offer coat racks, seating, water... Cigar Bar in Downtown SF, La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley when they have parties, Zanzi & Sundays at Brooklyn Basin in Oakland (a free btw) put more thought and consideration into curating a positive experience. I might come back, but I'm not excited about it.
