Nice club, didnt eat here so cant say anything about food or service. I never was approached by a waitress so, cant tell you if they have one. I did see Bottle service that was available.

I read the reviews before coming in. I’m black Latino and visit with my cousins and husband ( African American). We visit on a Saturday 10$ gals and 20$ men. We got some drinks was okay. The music was fire. Amazing place to dance some bachata and regué music. I like it. Wasn’t treated on any disrespectful way. If I was I would tell. I definitely coming back to dance some more. This place took us to Dominican Republic. Good DJ.

This place opens at 10pm but the fun here doesn’t begin until about 11pm however the music choice is good, very up-beat and great selections, but there are so many weird older men who just kept constantly asking me and my friend to dance with them. That was very annoying.

I cant fully rate this place due to a timing issue . When trying to get correct opening times, there was a conflict. We arrived before 9:30 as the website said opening at this time however, didnt open the door until 11p. I was irritated and disappointed, and the door person didnt help at all. Once inside, the place is nice and has a great atmosphere. Need more work on customer service or learning how to work with other cultures

This place sucks, wouldn’t let us in over dress code, but let others wearing the same stuff, I’m leaning towards because I am white. The bouncer with his white sunglasses at 12 at night thinking he is cool denying entry to white people. Will never go back.

Unbelievable. The ignorance the management displayed will preclude me from ever attending again. I would have hoped in 2023 there would be acceptance for the LGBTQ community. One of my best male friend wasn’t allowed into the men’s bathroom because he looked too female. This perpetuates racism, inequality, ignorance. I wish the owners had the decency to give their names but whoever the African American bouncer and white male in a blue shirt were should be re-educated on how to be a decent human. Disgusting. Not friendly or open. Never will go again. Represents all that’s wrong in the Midwest. I wish there were 0 stars as an option.

I never leave reviews but this place was so awful. WebSite says they open at 930, you get there for your reservation only to find out at the door they don’t open till 10, only then to have the audacity to turn you away because of a dress code listed NO WHERE, when Latino men are walking up in shorts and being let in. Definitely not a Non-Latino friendly place. Save your money and go somewhere else. Don’t run a business if your going to be unprofessional, rude or racist.

My friends and I used to go to this place pretty often. Before COVID, it was a super fun atmosphere and we always felt safe. Things seemed to have changed after COVID. Now it’s like a strip club with twerking contests, fights are breaking out more often, and security is no where to be found. I will not be returning unless something changes. Very disappointing.

First time ever coming to this place. Lets say, definitely not worth paying $20, as it was men’s cover charge, The one thing that made me upset, was the bartending service. Felt like i was getting ignored, and never got a reaction when trying to wave to buy a drink, just because i was Asian and not Latino. Waited for 15 mins, until my sister was able to get a drink on my behalf. Save yall money.

Tldr: this business is homophobic and racistlong version: this business utilizes a patriarchal and illegal pay system where they told us they wouldn’t charge for women, but men had to pay. we asked how that would even apply to genderqueer and non-binary, etc people, and/or what if our id noted “gender: x”? they claimed that non-binary people and gender x didn’t exist. on top of that, they spewed anti-Black rhetoric and said my friends looked too “ghetto” to come in anyway. (they absolutely did not - they were stunning and this was meant to be their post-wedding reception after party… and even if they did [which is still problematic to use the term “ghetto”], this is no way to speak to people and potential patrons). i am sorely disappointed that a place like this is still in business. it’s too bad they were so full of hate ~ we had an entire wedding party that probably would’ve brought in revenue in the thousands range within minutes. they even slammed their doors in our faces. it’s truly their loss, and we wouldn’t have wanted to give them our money had we known in advance of their values. in short, this is not a queer or bipoc friendly business. i would give this establishment 0 stars if I could….

This places is a joke!! We decided to go to this establishment with a group of my family (roughly 10 people). Before we could enter they turned us away because one person had on a t-shirt. They claimed that its a new policy but since its a new policy you would expect them to be more flexible to give people time to get acclimated with the change. No, they turned down one group after the next. This doesnt seem like a good practice for a business! The person that was turned away came earlier this month in a t-shirt and had no issues. We requested the owner who was a complete tool! He literally just said no, then let a person that was turned away for a t-shirt in after they had a side bar. We pointed it out and he told us you still cant come in. Whoever is this guys partners in this business should seriously reconsider. He turned about 20 people away because one person in each group didnt have on a collar shirt. Im sure its probably way more over the course of the night. I asked for the owners name and a kid you not he said Im not telling you my name just rude as ever to potential patrons. My family has patronized this business before but I was just visiting St. Louis and this was my first impression. Since the owner refused to give me his name...he was wearing a hideous & wrinkled floral shirt, denim jeans, some worn down Vans with a straw hat. If you want to be strict on the dress code make sure you dress the part. What a freaking joke!!

Very nice decor. An upscale club. The staff is very professional and courteous. Security is good. I like that there is a dress code. The cover charge (often it is for a fundraiser) is good as it keeps some people out that should not be there. The club does not have drunks running around as the staff never lets it get that far. Many more good things to say but you get the idea. One of the finest clubs in town.

If you want a taste of Latin clubbing, go to Dos Salas on a Saturday night. They play a large variety of Latin music so there is a little bit of something for everyone.There is a dress code, but the only rule I know is that there are no sweats allowed (Im not sure of that includes sweatshirts). Ive dressed like I was about to walk the red carpet but also with some jeans, a t-shirt, and Vans, and its all been acceptable.The cover is free for women before 11(?) p.m. After that, the cover is $20 per person. They close at 3 a.m. and it stays full up until that time. My group normally shows up around 11:30 or midnight and honestly thats peak time for them.You are able to reserve VIP tables with a minimum of one bottle purchase. They come out with flashing lights and someone blowing a whistle when they bring your bottle over. If its a birthday, theyll even hold a lighted letter board with Happy Birthday [your name]! which makes for a great social media photo. Be aware that people will line up all along the VIP tables, so there will be a literal wall of people blocking your way every time you come and go.This place gets PACKED, so I suggest the VIP if you can afford it. The last time I went was 2/12/22 (a Saturday) and I couldnt even dance with my fiance without being smashed into his body. I got to the point where I was frustrated because there was constantly some random person touching me.There are two main dancing areas: one right in front of the DJ booth and one behind the first dance area, which is separated by small VIP couches. I never go to the first dance area because they spray all the fog and whatnot onto the people there.My favorite Saturday DJ is Fonzo because hes so sweet. When I asked him to book a VIP table for my birthday, I also requested some good bachata songs and he made sure to play me some good ones.

Review №17

Went for New Year’s party. Was not latin party as advertised(I received two text messages days before the date). The place was rap music only, which I don’t really like. We were charged full price as for open bar - and paid for my drinks full price, why then I paid so much? If I knew what was it beforehand I wouldn’t come. I don’t think I will be back, such a disappointment.

Review №18

Why is cover so expensive?! $15 for girls and $20 for guys? Never been asked to pay that much for cover. Also they almost didn’t let my friend in because he was wearing gray khaki shorts. Apparently guys can only wear pants. Weird and stupid dress code. So let down!

Review №19

Owners seem to not wanting to be bothered with certain patrons and comes up with all these silly rules at the door. Only been twice, and both times the experience myself and others had was subpar. Bar staff takes forever to acknowledge that youre wanting to buy drinks. Staff doesnt seem friendly. Will not be coming back.

This is the second time that money had been stolen from me here. Someone needs to be fired. I called today, but were closed. Will call again tonight and doesnt to a manager. They charged me 50 dollars for 3 beers!! Plus an ATM fee of 5 dollars and I didnt use the ATM! If they dont resolve this I am reporting them to change 5 News. I know Im not the only one and more people will come forward if they force me to take action.

Friday night visit at 11 PM and they charged $10 entrance fee per person. Once inside there was only about 25 other patrons. Decor is nice. But the cover charge was absurd. Id say a dying business.

Review №27

Put your dancing shoes on! This place instantly transports me to Miami! The DJ is fantastic and keeps up the music all night. Lots of reggaeton/latin/mixed EDM, perfect for dancing. It can get very packed, so expect to wait at the bar if getting drinks.There is a line to get in, but it moves quickly. This place blows paddy Os out of the water!

Review №28

Not a fan. While there are COVID precautions taken upon entry, inside it is a nightmare. Few of the bartenders wore masks, and practically none of the guests wore masks when we were there. Patrons were dancing all around the crowded dance floor, socializing and just hanging out/walking all over the bar/club. I wouldnt be surprised if this place had superspreader events.Their night was also advertised as a Salsa event online, which in fact was more a Latin night with 0 salsa played and occasional bachata songs peppered in a very reggeaton-heavy environment.

Review №29

Got there at 11pm, fee to get in was $10 which was a bit pricey, Google states they close at 3, but they shut it down at 1am because they didn’t have a big enough crowd. False advertisement, will not be going back, and oh this was my first time visiting. But very nice set-up.

Review №31

Unfortunately, this was a nice set up but horrible management. My friend was profiled and descriminated because she “looked” like someone that caused previous issues. They allowed us to stay for an hour then decided she had to leave. I respect needing a safe environment but, not having a justified reason to remove someone and pretty much deminishing her character in front of a crowd of people is pathetic. I hope they are prepared to let the law handle this one.

Review №32

I will never return to this establishment! My first experience was horrible! I was profiled and discriminatted against because I “so called” fit the description of a female who was there a few weeks ago that was fighting. I’ve never been to this establishment. To be exact the last time I came to this place was for my 25th Birthday Party which was back then named The City and owned by Jason Spain. Fast forward today, I was out celebrating my 31st Birthday. I rsvp’d for free entry which means I arrived early when hardly no one was there. Also I parked directly across the street. Why would someone come to a club early knowing they are wanted and park across the street. Also the manager even spoke to me while we were getting carded and did not say anything. I was there for a hour and even had ordered a drink. Then after all of this I get told to leave. Also the manager said I go to Harris Stowe! Mind you I graduated from Lincoln University in 2009! I digress! I will be seeking legal advice. I’ve never experienced anything like this before!

Update: Misinformation given was on my group leaders end didnt post until time so had to pay made it seem like it was free all around unless the info. I read was recently added but I downloaded the ticket but that was pointless (didnt have until time/exp.date) whats the point of offering a ticket to get in free if you cant use it make sure you put everything in your advertisement and ticket or at least a subject to change. First time coming here as well.

“Latino bar “ and don’t even let me in cause it was a “dress code “ but it was a dude with the same t shirt color that I had and they let him in. I’m Latino, new in the area trying to get to know around and that’s how you treat people , when I asked the man in the door why you let him , his answer was “ don’t even come around “ I’m gonna make sure everybody know about this.

Review №45

The staff discriminates. They wouldnt let my friend in after already letting her in because they claim she fit the description of someone else that caused trouble weeks before. Mind you my friend has never even been here and they accused her of being the female that caused trouble. If they want to ban people that caused trouble then they need to make copies of their lincense and not assume that every person that looks like the culprit is the same person. I would never recommend this place to anybody especially how they treated us and my friend.

Review №118

This is the last time that the abuser, who is at the entrance collecting admission, puts her claws on the arm of one of our friends. And when the owner was told about this situation, what he did was hide behind a pillar inside the bar, ignoring what happened. This is not the first time this has happened and this time it left marks on the skin, so we are going to proceed to make the relevant demands so that this does not go unpunished. We are really outraged by what happened because we were frequent customers, and we have made the decision not to return to Dos Salas again.

Review №119

The place is good, I like it, but the DJ makes very drastic changes in music, if he sees that people are dancing to their liking and the majority are on the floor, he changes to another rhythm of music and people sit down, yes he sees That music doesnt work so why play it. Of course, if you ask him for a special song, he will play it for you.

Review №120

I went on a Friday, they charged ten dollars for entry with a bracelet in your hand, including a good atmosphere, almost only nationals because it was a Friday, and you could see the free expression in their clothing....I went the next day, on Saturday, which is more Latin, they bothered me at the entrance fee was based on the clothing and for many it had to be as they wanted, they charged 20 dollars for the entrance fee and they put a stamp on the hand......and thats how easily I realized how the matter is... thats how it is. That for my Colombian countrymen or those who like to dance, this is not the right place.
