Chitiva's Salsa and Sport's Bar

Do not bother. Beans and rice were terrible. More of brown water with cheese than beans. Highly not recommended.

I came here for my 22nd birthday last year, and it happened to be salsa night. Only one of my friends was willing to get up and dance with me, maybe because their dance "class" they had going was actually pretty fun..Or maybe because he was double-fisting two Coronas?

Either way, it's an okay little bar/grill with plenty of outdoor waterfront seating (which is awesome) but limited indoor space that's almost always taken up by awkward non-Hispanics trying desperately to salsa dance. Sorry, but it's true. That was actually a highlight of the night lol.

They do have a full bar, but I've noticed you often have to tell the bartender more than once what your drink order is, which is pretty whack. I also expected top-notch margaritas from Chitivas, but that was not the case. It was pretty average, maybe even pre-mixed.

Despite their cocktails and bar service being less-than-fab, I did get a drink on the house for my birthday.

Also located deep inside the waterfront warehouse, and it can be like a maze trying to navigate through that after a few drinks. Bring a friend to walk through it, it's a little sketchy after dark. If you follow the music, you'll find the place.

- Update - Still a great place to dance, now with better food. Dinner menu got a major reboot, and the guacamole wins Most Improved Item.  Also, how often does a venue owner remember you 3 years later by your dancing? Service can be leisurely, but, isn't that the point? Don't be in such a goddamn rush and you'll find yourself having a fantastico time.
