About the Cigar Bar:
Tucked away, down some inconspicuous stairs on Montgomery Street in North Beach, you will find a San Francisco Jewel called the Cigar Bar. It attracts locals and foreigners from all different parts of the world. I feel like I am being transported to some little place in Spain or Cuba when I enter the warmly lit bar. I am drawn in by the live Latin music playing from the small tiled dance-floor.
This isn't your normal Salsa Club, well it isn't a Salsa Club at all. It is a place where people go to enjoy a selection of tapas, great tequila (well this is a personal note), wine, live music, cigars of course, and now salsa dancing.
It feels a bit how salsa dancing was born, not in the big clubs, but in small venues where people are drinking, dining and then letting the music move them to the dance-floor.

Interesting to read about salsa clubs in other cities (I'm from Denver and there's a pretty big scene here). We just posted about the "best bars" in San Francisco on our blog, although they are not related to salsa. Check it out!
