Laid back but stylish large multi-level bar, in Sydney CBD. Better on weekdays. Tuesday salsa night is pretty hot - great dancing guys and girls, charged and sexy.
Main bar can have occasional losers, but mostly good. Service can be tricky, but atmosphere is worth it. Upstairs, chilled-out Hemmesphere bar is about lounging, cushions, cigars, good wine, good staff - all in all a good spot. Where Sydney unwinds.

This venue hosts a show, live music (Son and salsa) and dancing to recorded music after. It is located in the basement of Teatro Heredia (weekends only).
Airconditioned and therefore a nice place to go to especially in the summer.
You need to get your tickets before 7.00 p.m. on the door and that way find out if the venue is open to the public that day.
Teatro Heredia, Plaza de la Revolucion, Santiago de Cuba
Dancing to Salsa music. Don't spend all your time sitting on your duff at the trough. Get some exercise and have fun. If you're bored with just standing on the floor and doing your same two moves all night long then learn partner dancing where you actually have to use your brain and not just your groin.
There is a number of good restaurants which have Salsa on certain evenings and usually begin with a beginners class whereby in one hour you can learn enough to have fun and look stylish. No partner is needed. Baile!
