Il Pirata

Open

Potrero Hill, San Francisco

💃"sweat box" (SF Standard)
👟"Converse and jeans are seen more than heels" (SF Standard)
🔄Rueda circle dances break out spontaneously

On the last Friday of every month, Il Pirata transforms from a neighborhood sports bar into a sweaty salsa haven where dancers spill onto the sidewalk by 1 AM. DJs spin timba, a Cuban funk-salsa fusion, and the crowd grooves in Converse and jeans rather than heels: this is salsa Cubana, raw and joyful.
