I would highly recommend the Thursday night salsa class at 8:00 with Rafa. After the hands on class the real party starts. Amazing people, great energy and good times. Supportive environment for people of all different skill levels. We are beginners and it was a very welcoming environment. A big Thank You to our instructor Rafa - great job!! We will be back soon!

Gosh I would rate this place even a 6-star if I could. When my husband and I got there, I realized I forgot my ID card at home. So I remembered, I had a photo of it on my phone and bam just like that I showed them and they let me through. We took a dance session of an hr ($15/person) and after that ordered drinks and danced. So fun!!! Will be returning with some friends for sure

Not what I was expecting. $10 cover charge. $36 for 6 beers…on a Sunday night. It’s definitely more for the swanky crowd, which takes a lot of the fun out of it. This is a Latin bar for non-Latinos, kind of like what Chipotle is to Mexican food.

We went here for a salsa class on a Thursday night and can say we werent disappointed. For complete beginners and professional teachers we were able to grasp the hang of a small salsa dance. A lot of fun even though we were very sceptical at first on what to expect.I recommend for anyone thinking of giving it a go. Go with a partner or friends and Im sure youll have a blast.It has been announced that they will begin opening as a club next week. I never went to the club nights pre covid so am unable to comment on that. Take a look at the pictures to see what to expect.

Nice atmosphere. Drinks are great. But the “DJ” is an a$$.

Dancing class was completely terrible and not beginner friendly. I highly recommend you do not waste your time here.

If I could give them one star I would. Absolutely ridiculous dress code rules. I was completely dressed up, but my shoes did not have a back so I was not allowed to go in even though they were allowing men in sneakers and t-shirts. When I asked the reasoning I was told because I would get stepped on.

The club itself is awesome, great atmosphere and drinks. However the food truck outside is the real winner here.Denver lacks good ethnic food entirely, you won’t find a good place for tacos unless it’s coming out of the back of a food truck like this one.Amazing offerings at La Rumba Choripan. They have specials all the time and the tacos are the best value I’ve found, yet still being far superior in quality compared to any of the city taco joints, it’s the real deal here.

The best place in Denver to Salsa dance. Great Dance crowd more room to dance in wide wooden dance. Such wonderful friendly dance community. These dancers made me feel welcome warmly. Definitely recommend coming here if any one fan of Salsa dancer. Denver does not disappoint.

First time dancing ever! So many people very willing to teach me the steps while also being very respectful. Will go again! I loved it

So good place to go dance Latin music

Absolutely amazing staff. One of the top latin clubs in Denver. Music is absolutely great every time. They play a combo of salsa traditional, modern and sometimes sensual bachata. The security staff is very courteous, respectful and personable. The bartenders are absolutely out of this world amazing. My wife and I come here all the time for years now and just absolutely love this club.

I recommend going on Saturday to take the class and dance the night away! Thursday crowd is not the best, which is why I recommend Saturday. Drinks are ok.

Never going back to this place. Security staff is extremely rude. Cover is not worth it, specially when you get kicked out FOR NO REASON by the bouncers. My friends and I we were just taking a break from dancing, when a white tall bald headed guy from security said we had to leave and started cursing at us. He took away our full drink from our hands and removed us from the place without giving us an explanation why. Never going back, nor recommending. Awful experience.

Senora and Jig don’t know what the $&@? They are doing. We just had the Wed night at 7pm beginning class.Mashing up Bachata, Cumbia, Salsa is not simply “salsa” ...awful class. They started late and they just don’t know what the hell they were doing.Just because you took a few salsa classes doesn’t mean you should bastardize standard dance forms all into salsa. Waste of money and time

Fantastic feeling being back! Great place to salsa, bachata, and more.

Visiting Denver, i thought this would be a good place to go. I was SO wrong, the security staff here is a mess, and now checking the reviews I can tell that it’s been the same problem for years. We were having a good time and suddenly a bouncer wanted to kick us out, we were never given an explanation why. Looks like some profiling is made at this place even though it’s supposed to be a latino place. DONT GO HERE. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. NOT WORTH IT.

Every time i go to Rumba I HAVE SUCH A GREAT TIME💃 Everyone is polite and its a GREAT ATMOSPHERE excellent place to dance and have fun!!!👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥

Great fun! The outdoor patio is a wonderful place to rest between songs!

I loved the atmosphere as well as the wonderful staff! Super nice and a great place for beginner salsa dancers!

Friendly place,super cool staff

Thos is a freat place to listen to Latin music bachata, cumbia , regeton. Great music for saturday and sundays...

Always good to see people thanks tha was great night and great tacos

Non-traditional arepa with chorizo was pretty tasty. It was open-faced which wasn’t my first choice, but the flavors were on point. I’ve also heard their steak sandwiches are waaaay good. Give it a shot at their food truck if you’re in the hood.

What a treat to go salsa dancing for the first time since the pandemic began! Our temps were taken before entry. The groups were socially distanced, all wore masks, and there was a good amount of air flowing thru the venue. Dance floor was never too crowded and there were several hand sanitizer dispensers. The Dj was good, the dancing was fun -there were all levels and ages. U enjoyed 2 nice martinis from the bar. 4 stars instead if 5 because I wish more salsa was played, rather than bachata. Definitely going back!

Really fun Salsa Class and dancing after!

Larumba is on its way too get back into reality. Let the Fun Begin !!2021

Have I told you that I am a big fan of dancing? Ok I tell now, I am a lover of dance of any kind. And whenever I have time I prefer to spend it learning a new move. So far I have participated in some salsa sessions and I should say La Rumba has free salsa training and good drinks. Join the happy bunch of people dancing salsa there.

Great place for latin dancing and socializing.

My fiancé gets food from their food truck every night that they are there and the food is INCREDIBLE! Ask for the tacos, they are out of this world good and the man that runs the food truck is soooo so nice. Have never had a bad experience food-wise here and while we haven’t been inside for a night out yet, it looks pretty fun. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed LA RUMBA as always...

This bar treats their customers like dirt!Terrible service! Rude manager, horrible bouncer.We were sitting at a table with our drink in front of us, security comes by and takes them. After confronting him in a polite way why he just took our drinks when we weren’t done with them he kicked us all out! I am not kidding!!The Manager of the bar told us “we don’t have the time to ask everyone if they are done with their drinks”!! Have never been treated like this in a bar.I used to like this place but not with this kind of service.

Good place for have a good time

Its REAL Authentic Latin Music.!!!!Salsa, Bachata, merengue and much more!!

Well 11 is cut off for liquor lol and 12 its game over... Closed. Social distance makes it look empty.. Its still a nice place just too short on fun 😜

The place is pretty good. There is a large variance in the salsa instructors though. The Friday night instructor is good. She keeps things basic but fun. The Sunday night instructors are the best if one is learning how to dance. Saturday night instructors seem to spend too much time teaching one how to shake ones rear end. As far as Im concerned I do not need help to shake my own rear. Just give me half a dozen Long Islands.

Great drinks and good music!

Great place. Energetic instructors and friendly atmosphere.

If you ever need to dance the night away...La Rumba is the place! Look sharp and have a blast. Lively music and with stunning bartenders and staff. Check it out!

Opens at 8pm for dance lessons. Bar opens at 9pm, hosts a very dancing friendly crowd.There is a dress code, so come dressed to impress. They also offer nice drink specials for $3. Well done. See website, or call for further details.

Amazing environment!

LaRumba offers great lessons/dancing. The floor isn’t very big though and often they keep the place too warm. Would love for them to set out a pitcher of water and cups rather than charging $2 per bottle and not even allowing us to bring our own water. I understand they need to make money but if they are going to have a cover charge, the least they can do is provide free water.

Very fun salsa dancing classes! Salsa is very new to me and I greatly enjoyed these classes. My only criticism is that Jig can be a little intense, given it’s a beginner class. Nonetheless, a very good time!

Impeccable!

Good location. A block or two from Broadway. Parking hasnt been an issue the times Ive gone.The dance classes have been okay. The dance floor is a good size, but it seems that the later into the night it gets, the harder it is to actually dance. With that said, definitely go in earlier if you want to get a good dance in.Restrooms are clean and its nice to have a restroom attendant.

This is my favorite place to go out in Denver on a Saturday night. I love the live Salsa bands and the atmosphere is so good. Great dancers too, great for all levels.

Come here to dance! Do not over dress because you will sweater. Music is lively, and the place is crowded, and fun. Drinks are reasonable. There is a coat check room as well. Come to have a good time.

Went here with a few couples after dinner. The $10 cover bought us the free salsa lesson. The instructor was ok but overall it was a fun evening. They only have bottled water for sale which I dont appreciate. Mostly b/c its a single-use plastic. I chose club soda instead for same price ($2). They also had a food setup outside which is convenient. Its nice to have a dance venue for latin dancing in Denver.

Love the live music, dancing, 10 cover includes a dance class if you get there early enough.Down side is the drinks/ bar. For one the bartender had to loon up a drink (that only had two ingredients) that was listed on the menu and it didn’t even come out that great. Also they charge $6 for Coors?! We are in the land of beer, and thats the only beer they offer... for that price. Also you dance your butt off and then they make you pay for a bottle of water- no tap water available.

Great music and great people! Enjoyed every second there! Drinks are good and inexpensive. Dress to impress. Live band on Saturday was amazing!!!

Bad service (non-existent really). Tall young bouncer with a real attitude who goes around taking your drinks off the table without you being done. Wouldn’t even hear me out when I tried to tell him I wasn’t done with my drink or even apologize. Manager as much of a jerk along with their want to be cops!! Don’t waste your money!!!

This was a clean, fun and safe place on a Saturday Night. The cover was cheap, live band was great. There was good mix of all types of people and of all ages. The DJ was not so good, but the live band more than made up for it. Dance floor was also very crowded, but I see this as a sign of a successful place.

Saturdays are now NO BUENO. Saturdays at La Rumba are supposed to be the HOTTEST place to salsa in Denver. It used to be but this is now a joke. The live bands will now only play 2 - 30min sets...thats about 3 songs...and thats it for the night. Theres a mix of merenge, bachata and a LOT of reggaton otherwise. IDK why the live band time got reduced so much. Are the bands too tired to play for 2 hours...or is the club too cheap to pay them? Disappointing...I will not recommend this place to someone visiting the Denver salsa scene....embarrassing

Very good place to dance but I dont like when they mix other different kind of music is a place for salsa yachts and merengue

I love la RUMBA!!! My mama es de Bolivia & took me there..oh plus I had a Boyfriend that played in a Band there..I learn to ballaimos fast..well its in my Blood & Hips..

Ive been coming here for the past month and Ive really enjoyed myself with the salsa dancing lessons and drinks. Im very happy that they serve a new Orleans classic hurricane here. Live music and friendly salsa atmosphere that you cant beat

It’s a good place to dance salsa and enjoy watching others dance too.

This is the best nightclub in Denver, in my opinion! The Saturday night that I went was so full of energy, great live music, and great dancers! If youre looking for a place to do some serious Latin dancing, this is the spot!

Good venue for dancing and large floor that makes the place very packed on good nights. Would definitely recommend to get your salsa moves in town

Front door is cash only but the bar isnt, so not sure why the technology isnt there to just process money the same way?Opens at 8, but no drinks until 9. Weird.They dont provide water. They SELL water or ask if you want a cup to fill in the bathroom. Yuck.However, I will go back because the dancing was fun, the lessons were good, but dont go if you want to be yelled at. I didnt mind the strict instructor but every time we changed partners or I was close enough to people standing next to me, I heard a lot of griping on how mean he was lol. Just be prepared to fend for yourself with basic amenities, Im more prepared now and I hope this review will make you more prepared too!

Great salsa lessons with a skilled instructor! Then mingle and dance with fellow students from the lesson, great time, good people from all backgrounds. Drinks were pretty reasonable for Denver night life. I will def be going back soon. Thanks, Ian.

Great music and dancers. Bartender and bouncer went way over board. I watched 2 people get kicked out because the young lady wanted a bottle of water. Bad vibe, bounce that bouncer.

I didnt take any lessons, but I did take advantage of ladies getting in for free before 11 on Fridays. They have pretty good mixed drink specials as well...not so much for beer. Its a nice place to kick back and dance.

Aggressive employees. These people make women feel afraid to be there on their own. You’re better off going anywhere else.

Great night in a bachata class with my lovely boyfriend

Good place excellent food

Fantastic place to spend an evening. I was in Longmont for 3 weeks. Thankfully, I found this place early in my trip. I took both Salsa and Bachata workshops. Teachers were fantastic. Employees were too notch. The patrons were great. Nice sized crowd, even in Sundays. No drama. No drunks. No fighting. Just people wanting to learn how to dance. Cost was reasonable, $10 Th-Sat, $6 on Sunday. I only wished we had one in NC.

I love this place. No rude people around everyone just having fun. Definitely my favorite place to go.

I was visiting from New York and Google a Spanish place to go dance, this place was awesome, great djs and really nice! Had lots of fun

I love salsa and bachata. This is the place to go for intro lessons and lots of fun. Ages 21 to 81 and up. Also a great place to practice your Español or Inglés.Salsa lessons Thursdays and Saturdays, Bachata on Fridays, and Salsa and Bachata lessons on Sundays.

My visit was on 1/26/2018 bought a bottle of water for 2.00 and was charged 52.00 sounds like some very fraudulent things are happening here my co-worker who attend the same night was also over charged by 10.00 I am very concerned about how they conduct their business and the a SEVERE issue with INTEGRITY!!!! I am very upset about being charged so much money for one single bottle of water. they dont even deserve one star

Excellent

Great bachata instructor! The best Ive ever encountered. The DJ on the other hand blah! His/her repertoire consisted of a playlist and no actual mixing of music-like playing a YouTube playlist.Drinks were economically priced, $5 for gin and tonic. The bathrooms were clean, foodnou

BBWs abound on Saturday, so it can be a hit or miss night. Fridays seem nice w/Bachata. Mood is pretty lively.

Bad service

It was fun but I didnt like that the website stated they play a variety of latin music including reggaeton but they didnt play any all night. Disappointed, probably wont be back.

Salsa dancing is fun and I liked the teacher who was here a few year, dance like you mean it!

BAD SERVICE !!! 👎👎

Good place to enjoy Latin music! I went Thursday Nov 9 wich it was La rumba anniversary as soon as I get in I was ready to start enjoying my night and one person which I thought it was the owner cut in front of me in a very rude way, I just stoped and he was just ready to fight, then I realized it is just the guy guarding the entrance or a bouncer because the owner will be educated. I ignore him like you do to a little chihuahua barking at you. Well it was a good night and when I was leaving that little thing skin head 👎🏻 Again just trying to annoy me. Excellent place but like a fly on the cake I’m sure this bouncer has problems in his brain, of course if he has one.

Great vibes - dance lessons were awesome and friendly for beginners. Lots of chances to get out there and meet new people!

Vibrant and FUN! Wear your dancing shoes or you will look like a muñeca.

Great place love the atmosphere just wonderful time in Denver

Great place to dance Salsa, Bachata and Cumbia! Love the international crowd here.

Fun dance. But unfortunate they charge money for water, and worse, it comes in a throw away plastic bottle. Please change this La Rumba!

Good music ,a lot dancers was a good time I want back next week.

Best place to dance salsa and merengue!!

Best place to learn Salsa, bachata, merengue, cumbia and more

Dance dance like no one is looking at you

Their Saturday Night live music and dancing was awesome! Only complaint is that there isnt enough seating and the dance floor is too small, people spilled out into the separate bar area.

We came to Denver to watch the Spurs play the Nuggets... we lost today but I have to say Nugget Fans are a class act. We all had a blast and afterwards we went to La Rumba Night club. We went in knowing it was a Salsa, Merengue, Reggae ton club with a bit of Cumbia and we had a blast. Just got to Hotel and I have to say me and the wife are super happy.. Everyone was respectful from the management to staff and patrons. So many people from different backgrounds and no one cared. we all had fun and there was no rudeness from anyone, even though I have no idea what to do on the dance floor... wow.. if you are in Denver and would like to experience a good time go to La Rumba.. Great Place... Thank you!!!

I think this is the best place in Colorado every time i go music and people r great if u want a good place to dance and have a good time LA RUMBA is the place

TERRIBLE stuff! Terrible atmosphere and services! Never again! They are rude and aggressive! Never again! You GREAT PEOPLE DESERVE TO HAVE FUN! THIS IS NOT THE PLEASE! Dont loose time to go there!I will like to complain about your door service. I will not come anymore to your club and i make sure my friends doesnt come either. I walk in as usual i was already at the tolet when a girl pull my jacked and said hey:you cant come in you must pay! I told her that i will walk out shortly! I was exactly 20 min in the bar, 10 of which i spend in the restroom.(walk in 11.35) I am walking out;(12.01 am) when she stoped me and requested 5$! I told her that i am not paying this amount i am leaving! The man near the door get physical: he push me and stopped me from walking out( i shouldve called 911 THERE!) He try to scare me with the police! They had their own police/officer in the club😈👀 I went to the gard and completely resonably explain that i will not pay;because i didnt actually stay there. There was a man who almost let me go; but a police lady wanted to proove her power: she rudely said: you stay 20 min here so you must PAY ! The LEVEL of rudeness was growing in this people! So i of course just paid but, while i signed my receipt, i requested the name of the Rude girl on the cash machine! The rude girl instead of answer me: asked my name! I told her Yoana T****! She ignored my question. I told her i will write a review with my experience. VERONICA! SHE SHOUTED! Then the police lady who were her crime partner in humiliation; interrupt:You better behave YOURSELF! She try to scare me with her badge and tone!. I said: Mam i am actually going to share my experience on the web!The point is not paying or NOT! The point is that if you WALK IN A CLUB: is to have fun: and HAVING ABUSIVE AND AGGRESSIVE AND RUDE STUF IS DEFINATELY a good reason never to come back in this place!I make sure i share this on every entertainment website i know! I dont WANT other people to be kept with FORSE INSIDE A BAR FOR 5$! I think people should know what you do and if they come in there better be prepear. Terrible stuf! Terrible service! Terrible dirty atmosphere! I understand why people stop going.

Short trip to Denver, found this place and had fun and safe night. Live salsa band was a plus.

I really love this place. There are a lot of great dancers in this place and just watching them is amazingly entertaining.

Awsome place, my wife loves it , she feels like back home in Puerto Rico! Weepa

Good vibe and had fun here.

This is a long standing club in Denver. I am a night residential concierge; and one of my residents asked my about it it this evening. I gave an awesome recommmendation and was thrilled to see they are still open and attracting crowds. I would frequent LaRamba literaly 10 years ago!

Good floor to dance, excellent music, and lots of people to dance with.

Went on a Friday 4/8/16. The lady that took my cover money was rude, she seemed mad. The place was packed could barely move in some spots, not many places to sit down. Theres just one big dance floor. The sound system was pretty basic.This place caters to a mostly Mexican, older crowd. I thought the DJ wasnt that great, felt like he was playing random tracks on skip with no flow. He played alot of old stuff from the 90s. I was only here for like an hour, he played some random obscure salsa from the 90s, 1 cumbia song and some classic bachatas from the early to mid 90s. If youre really into dancing latin music this could be a fun place for you otherwise Id say skip it.

Best place to dance salsa n bachata in America !
