Do not come if you do not enjoy dancing, people playing instruments along with the music, and loud salsa dura.

WORST PLACE EVER!!!…read more This place is extremely sexists and completely antiquated. They have some ridiculous rules that say only a man and a woman can dance together. I was dancing with my mother and I was told that I could not do that because two women can't dance together. I was told that if I were to dance with my mother again we would be kicked out of the place. I was there for my mothers birthday and they completely ruined it by being disrespectful and out of line. There is no place where they have these so called rules displayed. This is a public place where there is an entrance fee, people should be allowed to dance with whoever they please. If you are looking for a place to dance and have a good time THIS IS NOT IT!

My husband and I began learning salsa, bachata, and merengue with Sasha about four months ago, and…read morewe've been attending her classes regularly ever since. We started in the beginners class knowing little to nothing and have already progressed to the more advanced level in that time. Sasha is an incredible instructor; clear, patient, and highly skilled at breaking down steps into manageable pieces. She layers skills thoughtfully, building confidence while continually adding complexity. One of the things we appreciate most is how quickly she can gauge what each dancer needs. Even in a group setting, she's excellent at pausing the class to correct and clarify, making sure everyone truly understands before moving on. She also complements her classes with social dances, which give students a chance to practice in a relaxed setting, and she has built a community that is not only supportive but genuinely warm and welcoming. We look forward to our weekly escape from work, and we're always surprised by how much we continue to learn in such a short period of time. Try a class or two; you'll be hooked.

The steak was cheap and flavorless, full of gooey fat pieces (as you can see in the picture). The steak chimi was also disappointing, and flavorless; I do not know what type of steak was used... oh, and how do you serve chimis and no chimi sauce!? The guac literally tasted like mashed avocado; no seasoning. The margaritas were okay. I do not think I would come back!

The beers are cheap, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the vibe is really fun and paid back. My only complaint is it's far away from me, it else is go there for all major sporting events.

We went on Sunday at 2pm and had their brunch special which was an appetizer, entree, and bottomless mimosas/sangria for 2 hours. The food was delicious, but portion sizes could've been a bit bigger. I got the empanadas and the salmon and both were good. The drinks were delicious and fairly strong for bottomless drinks. We sat on the rooftop and there was plenty of space and a great DJ. They had sports on the TV and the rooftop was really nicely decorated. Our servers were attentive and the food came out without issue. This is a great spot for a nice, upbeat brunch or a party. The rooftop didn't start filling up until about 3pm and the bottom floors were empty at this time which is to be expected on a Sunday afternoon. I'd love to come back and see what it's like at night!

Watch the game: There were three TVs at this venue which were no bigger than 40in. The tv that was the closest to where I was sitting was turned off. The remaining TVs were on two different channels which made it really weird one cut to a commercial and the other is showing replays. Service: I can't speak on the quality of the food or drinks but I did purchase a hookah. There was only one person making hookah and this man was legit all over the place. He was posted up watching the game, at one point he was even djn . It was extremely hard trying to get his attention. Let out: At around 10:00pm they start playing old school rap music. 10:15 the lights are turned on. 10:20 they start to scream at everyone "get out" "ya ta bueno" "don't see anyone leaving" "why aren't you guys moving." Also take into consideration that it's pouring outside. Everything was so abrupt and disorganized. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!

We had NO IDEA of where to go. We ended up going to Taboga in the Heights but it was so dead and we were basically the only two people there so we decided to leave after he looked through Instagram and found Krystal Bar & Lounge. We took an Uber from Taboga to Krystal Bar & Lounge and again we were the ONLY two there but at that point, it didn't matter, we were hungry and just wanted to eat. We were greeted at the door very quickly and were seated promptly. The waitress (who was also the day manager) came over to us and explained their specials regarding food (which, they still had Brunch) and for drinks (which was Happy Hour) - We were happy. We decided to partake in the Brunch special which was two courses and Unlimited Mimosa or Sangria. We both had the Mimosa which tasted good, the good thing is, we weren't looking to get drunk so this Mimosa was perfect as it didn't have TOO much champagne. For my appetizer, I ordered their Krystal Salad and honestly it was freaking GREAT! I literally ate it til the plate was clean, I was NOT embarrassed, after all, we were the only ones there lol For my main course, I had the Steak & Eggs with french fries - when I tell you, they served me the BIGGEST piece of steak - I was in AWE but I ate all of it.
