Coco Bongo

Ehhh... what can I say about this one...

It's a local club in Reseda. It's small and next to a laundry mat in a sketchy location. I've only been there on Thursday night a few times on the gay night.

It's a hit or a miss. I'd give it a 2.5. It was good a few nights I went, and there were a lot of hot Latino gay guys. Other thursdays, the crowd isn't great... and the go-go boys just seem disinterested.

It's not a bad place. But I'll rate Cobra higher than this one. The music is also a hit or a miss. A few times I went it was great and they played some top hits, other times they played less then great music...

What can I say... don't set your standards too high. I would say drive to Cobra... or West Hollywood.

We went there on a Saturday night after hearing they were a salsa club. We confirmed that they played salsa at the entrance and before paying the $15.00 cover charge. After an hour of listening to DJ playing everything but salsa, we asked him to play salsa and he said he doesn't have any, but the band does. When the band started, we waited another 2 hours and not 1 salsa. When we left we told them that we were told they played salsa tonight but we didn't even hear one. The guy said this club is well known for their salsa and they were playing it. Clearly, they don't understand the difference between cumbia and salsa, this isn't a place for dancers, its more for drinking and socializing. Its a pity because there's not enough salsa clubs in the valley and its got a nice big dance floor.

Not for the shy at heart. I went dancing here last night with a few friends and had a great time! The dance floor is big, there are fine ass men dancing on the stage and the music was pretty poppin. The DJ played some cumbias, a lil salsa and some pretty good electronica remixes.
The drinks were okay, not too strong but I felt a good lil buzz after a vodka tonic so no complaints here. The crowd last night was mainly Latino gay men and their beautiful fag hags...not too many ladies for lezzies but a friendly crowd nonetheless.
The downside: It gets pretty hotttttt in hurrrr so be prepared to sweat your balls off when dancing, there was a $5 cover last night and I guess that's the norm...I'm not hating, I just don't think this place is ALL THAT GREAT to be charging a cover on a Thursday but I guess they gotta make that money. Beware of men in tight jeans and cowboy hats..they get mighty cray cray when the Spanish music starts bumpin!
I'll definitely be back!!!
