• Mango's Tropical Café
  900 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach
  Phone: 305-673-4422
  A neon jungle with salsa, samba and merengue, right on the beach. Lots of tourists who haven't a clue, but love the beat! This is a great place to go have a drink, socialize (and participate in the 'meat market', if you are into that), but that's about it.
  The reason we mention Mango's is because every tourist that comes to Miami wants to go there. It's world famous! An unfortunate side effect is that a lot of out-of-town Salseros think this is a Salsa club, and it is not. Do not get me wrong. I like the place, but it's not a Salsa club, and that's what this list is all about. In summary, as a place to hang out, I give it an A. But as a place to dance serious Salsa, I'm forced to give it an F. We can't have it all, can't we? : )

  305-640-5847
  This place is more than a club, it is a very interesting place with lots of great music, interactive art, sometimes food, much of which is Latin something! It could be Jazz fusion, Rock, acoustic, Rumba, Brazilian, or even something more eclectic. Check out their website for the schedule, which is always changing. If you're feeling like expanding your horizons, this is the place to go! Every Friday they have an Afro-Latin thing going on.
