Good drinks  4 Star Rating - Very good

If you want good drinks come to the Cafe Cocomo Bar Grill and Night. The drinks are really good and they make them any way you want. The cost is low and the service is nice too. Summer is a great time to come here . I would recommend them to others.

deathwish  1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

i'm sorry... too many people have ruined this place for me. there have been so many fights, stabbings, shootings, you name it and it's just not worth going anymore. the crowd is cool until there's a fight. there's no room to dance.. i mean if you want to be seen, this is the place to go. don't waste your time if you want to just chill with your friends and go dancing.

Simply the Best Club in San Francisco 5 Star Rating - World class

Simply the Best Club I have been to in San Francisco. Just the atmosphere is invigorating. I have heard form the grapevine its going to be much better I dont know how they will make it better. I want to see how they will make it better. The Women that are in the club are always friendly and out going. I feel as thought Im going to a friends house to hang out. The staff is always greets you with a warm smile and hot drink to get my salsa steps going. Ive been going to Cocomo for the last 7 years. I dont think Ill stop any time soon. Thanks Guys; Keep up the good work

Pros: Parking!!!, Size of the Club, The Ambience

I love this club 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been going here for years. Great music and great Instructors. I think certain nights cater to different ambience. Monday night are great classes and social dancing. Thursday has always been a great dancers night and Saturday is for the weekend crowd. They even started a Wednesday Salsa Night. Anyway I give this club an A++

Low on pretense!?! 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I've been a regular at Cafe Cocomo for years. Just recently, I was turned away for not
wearing a collared shirt, although I'd been wearing shirts with no collars ever since I
started salsa dancing at Cafe Cocomo. This place is no different from other
pretentious nightclubs that reserve the right to arbitrarily dictate who can/can't
gain entrance. I still plan to go to Cafe Cocomo for the salsa dancing, but with a reserved
attititude for this place, which could use some loosening up and yes, genuinely be
"low on pretention" as their website disengenuously claims.

The Best Salsa Club in SF 5 Star Rating - World class

I have a lot of love for Cafe Cocomo. Let me count the ways...

1) Venue: Big dance area on the ground floor, 2nd floor with seating and prime place to people watch. Nice outdoor patio when you need to cool off between dances. Ample free parking.

2) Music: Great live bands every Thursday and Saturday. But most importantly...

3) **The People**: There's a great vibe at Cocomo - people are friendly and most everyone plays nice. (As opposed to other places, where people have 'tude and/or they are more for couples.)

The crowd is extremely diverse - age, race, salsa levels, attire, etc. The beginners come earlier for the lesson and the "serious" salsa dancers bring it later in the evening. I usually like to get there in between when it is not as crowded but I can catch the band's first set. It's time to leave when it is so crowded that my feet are getting stomped on.

A note for the ladies: Cocomo is a good place to go solo. You'll feel comfortable and trust me you won't be off the dance floor for long.

Pros: Live music, Great crowd
Cons: N/a
