Great vibe in San Francisco! Tasty cocktails, delicious food, live music, and an amazing cigar lounge with a wide selection. Definitely a place to come back to!

I just arrived back home from dancing Salsa at the Cigar Bar. I hadn’t danced in 5 years. Ava Apple and Redolofo Guzman taught a Salsa lesson at the beginning of the night. The lesson began at 7:30 pm. I used to take Salsa classes from them in Berkeley. It was nice seeing them again. They’re fantastic teachers. I love the Cigar Bar. I used to go there all the time. It’s still one of my favorite places to go dancing. The people are always friendly and the service is excellent. If you’re in San Francisco and looking for a place to dance where the people are friendly I highly recommend checking out the Cigar Bar.

Super disappointed. We called the place on the Christmas day and AI support said it was open. We walked for 30 minutes under rain to find it shut. It’s not that difficult to respect your customers time and make your AI telephone provide correct information.

4/5 for dancing salsa – has flat floors that are decent for turning, cold water, live music, cozy vibe.
$15 cover if you show up after 9pm, they accept apple/google pay and cash
Minus one star for the smoke. Your clothes will smell like smoke after.
Might want to check the band that’s playing because some bands play 10minute songs
3/5 for food because I waited FIFTY minutes for a salmon risotto that was just okay. The risotto was cold. The salmon was crispy on the outside but dry on the inside. Not worth the wait, you might want to order something else

The cocktail was good. The server behaved as if he didn’t want me to be here. I asked to have my cigar clipped he told me the clip was behind the host desk and I’d have to to get it. I asked for torch to light my own cigar he said he didn’t have one. I watched him lend his torch to another table of two women. Since then, I’ve typed this review as he’s been chatting with that table. I’d really like to order more but he’s going on 15 minutes with this other table.

I recently visited and it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed evening, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable about their cigar selection. The drinks were top-notch, especially the smoked Fashioned. Their guacamole and chips was a great choice – the guacamole was fresh and flavorful. Overall, a great spot for a night out!

Very unimpressed with food. Service was absolutely horrible. I sat for over 30 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. And the place was practically empty with two servers. They just absolutely ignored me. I had to grab a waiter and ask for service. He apologized but had an excuse for ignoring me.
I also find it odd that it is a cigar bar but you can’t smoke in the bar.

Cigar ball & Grill is a place a often go on a weekly basis. They have great bar bites and drinks. They have indoor and outdoor seating with music.
They have another indoor area where they usually host bachata dance classes every Thursday at 7pm followed by a social party till 11pm with early bird pass costing only $8usd. Normal walk-in pass is $10usd which is the most affordable dance social in SF by far in 2025 that I’ve been to.
I love their fries alot. They do provide free water as well for non-alcoholic drinkers. Great vibes , great music. If you sit outdoor, beware of all the smoking and stuff. So if you dislike the smell and the loud music, you might wanna consider sitting all the way back in, inside the restaurant.

The place you didn’t know about but should? That’s the Cigar Bar. Even for non-smokers, there are spaces upwind without smoke. A delicious beverage menu with cocktails to suit all tastes (how does a Smooth Passion cocktail with passion fruit sound? Or Pretty in Pink?), a medley of appetizers on offer and DANCING lessons with subsequent dance parties! Even on Sundays!
The dance lesson I experienced yesterday night. So fun!
@fernando.dances taught a group of us the basic steps of Bachata, a dance I’ve been hearing about forever. It’s like Latino Electric Slide! The steps once learned are easy to do…just wish more men would learn to dance since most women LOVE LOVE dancing.
The Cigar Bar offer dance parties & mini lessons in not only Bachata but Salsa too.
See me there again soon! How about you 😉

Awesome old Spanish style set up. Huge lounge with a bar and grill and a courtyard. Cigar selection is extremely light, but the food, drinks and atmosphere are really good. It can get pretty busy so service can take time.
