Cigar Bar and Grill

Cigar Bar and Grill brings Latin dance to San Francisco with live salsa bands on weekends and bachata nights during the week. The 200-capacity space includes a dance floor, full restaurant, and patio for cigar smoking. The venue enforces a dress code, creating a more polished atmosphere than typical bars. Friday and Saturday nights feature live bands playing salsa, cumbia, and Latin jazz to packed dance floors. The crowd knows how to dance, so beginners may feel intimidated, but the energy is welcoming. The food menu covers Latin American standards. The outdoor patio provides a break from the dance floor heat. For live Latin music with actual dancing rather than passive listening, this is one of the few options in the city.
