I will be in San Francisco, California next week starting Nov 15-20th, 2008. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent in the bay area when I’ve attended the San Francisco Salsa Congress over the years, even though it was really in downtown Oakland. However, because I’ll be attending the Adobe MAX 2008 Conference (for my real day job), I’m excited to see a the real showcasing of the San Francisco night time salsa scene. If anyone has any suggestions to where to go dancing during those nights – I would really appreciate it! You can leave any info in the comments.
As a quick reminder, the San Francisco Salsa Congress will be the weekend after that week: Nov 20-23rd, 2008. If you have never gone to a congress, you definetaly should check out this event – one of the best in the US. While I will not able able to attend or performing at the congress this year, Julie Merrill will be performing with David Stein’s Majesty In Motion Pro Team (videos).
Bloch is carried here as well,...
You should check out Glas Kat (http://www.glaskat.com), which has salsa on Tuesday nights. This is by far my favorite regular salsa spot in SF.
Cafe Cocomo (http://www.cafecocomo.com) is another good option. It is a dedicated salsa club so you can go dancing there most nights of the week. Saturday is the most popular night, although Thursday is the real “dancer’s night.”
Adobe Max 2008? what? Your real job? You mean that you do not do addicted2salsa as a fulltime job? LOL.
You should check out Jelly’s on Sunday afternoon.

Rumbache is playing and they are in my opinion one of the most underrated bands here in SF…
The weather should be great that day and it’s the place to be on Sunday starting at 5pm.
