Sky Bar

I love SkyBar's Thursday Salsa Night. It's always an amazing time and Cosa Seria is a fantastic band. They play a mix of Salsa, Bachata, Cha Cha, and Merengue beats which I really enjoy. There is a $7 cover and the dancing usually gets going around 10:30 or 11ish. The dance floor can get pretty crowded but there are plenty of couches to sit on and everyone is very friendly and approachable.

I'm usually too busy dancing to do much drinking while i'm there but the occasional drink that I have purchased has always seemed reasonably affordable. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. They also have a big cooler of water available so you don't have to feel guilty taking up the bartender's time ordering water.

I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get into Latin dance. They offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons as well on Thursday nights as well before the open dancing.

Since the Sky Bar (upstairs of Saints) is only opened certain nights, I've only been here for two types of events: Thursday night Salsa and the GLIP/YPAL "World Party - a big dance party. So clearly this bar is made for dancing.

The drinks aren't cheap but they aren't terribly expensive. Since there is always a lot of dancing going on, it can get pretty hot, but I've usually felt comfortable with just starting a pile of our group's coats on a table or couch. The set up is a bit let's mingle if you will. There is the rectangular bar in the middle, couches to the left, dance floor in the back and some tables to the right. Salsa nights on Thurs seem pretty packed. Friendly crowd, a few skeezeballs of course, but for the most part just nice guys and girls who want to dance! Even though I am no where near a good chunk of the people that go here, everyone was welcoming. If I felt awkward it was my own uncertainty of abilities!

The World Parties are one of the best nights of dancing that exists in Louisville. Bunch of 20s and 30s having a good time, listening to lots of different music and dancing the night away. I wish it was the world party every weekend at Sky :(

I do wish it was open more frequently!

Thursday nights is Salsa with live band. Starting at 8, there is a lesson, and 9-close is dancing. The band plays roughly 80% salsa, and 10% cha cha 10% bachata.  

Music was great! The crowd was good (not overcrowded, no elbowing necessary). Most people are there to dance and have fun. It didn't have the feel of a meet (or is it Meat) market.

This seems to be a constant for Thursday nights now.  Who knows for how long! I am definately going to enjoy it while it lasts.
