Salsa Bar & Restaurant
Overview
Located on Charing Cross Road in the centre of London’s West End, the Bar Salsa bar and restaurant is the South American party heart of the capital. A great deal of effort has gone in to creating a truly Latin atmosphere here at Bar Salsa, starting with the décor which comes straight from a Rio guide book, bright colours blended with rough hewn wood for a rustic beach-bar look. The restaurant is furnished with cosy leather booths and oversized sunburst mirrors while below stairs painted wood furniture, vintage ads for Havana Club rum and Babalu cigars and exposed ducting whisk one away to the sweaty back streets of Sao Paulo. Signature cocktails from the Americas are the favourite of the bar, though bottled beers and wines from the region are also popular, while Bar Salsa’s food menu is typically relaxed and indulgent, featuring fabulous tapas sharers as well as main dishes for the hungry along the lines of burgers, fajitas and other Texacarna favourites.

There are sooo many better places to go for salsa. Ok, in the week this is a good spot, but don't go there on a Saturday night for serious dancing.
On a Saturday night music is mixed, some salsa tracks but mostly they play any chart music and the dancing could vaguely be considered as Merengue - or more like an excuse for horrible sweaty men to get up way too close and personal. If you go on...more
I checked out this Salsa Bar in London very recently and have to say I came away with a bitter sweet taste I could say, it wasn't bad and have to say atmosphere was very good and plenty of people showing some fancy foot loose Salsa moves, I would say guys no shortage of ladies in this joint from what I saw, if you are looking to show off ye Salsa moves.

People like clubs for different things.
I like Salsa! because I can go and dance with people I know and people I don't know. The classes some day are good, and you can basically have a great evening with dancing and lessons for a fiver. That assumes you don't drink, but frankly, when I go to Salsa! I dance so much that most of what I drink is water.
On the other hand, I rarely go, and only...more
The night before we went to the theatre district to watch Blood Brothers, we ate at a Mexican restaurant--YES, Mexican!!--Salsa! Finallyyy!.... however it wasn't what we expected.
First off, E ordered "chips and salsa"-- and promptly got exactly what the Brits call chips with their favorite side-- and what we Americans call french fries and mayo. Fries were fantastic, but otherwise, J and I...more
*disclaimer* : I cannot comment on the food nor the drinks, this is a SALSA review...
Wednesday evenings; FREE introductory salsa class, every week from 7-7.30pm. No entry fee to the bar, just rock on up. Doesn't matter if you're a seriously uncoordinated soul with two left feet and no rhythm, or a stalwart salsa champion who wants a fun warm up- you can do this class.
If you've been happily...more
