Arjons still rocks. Used to be our club of choice when we were young last time we were here was about 14 yrs ago or so. The staff is wonderful. The owners still come to work and mingle with the crowd. It was pretty slow today because of Ms. Corona but was great for us. We had a wondeful time. Thank you Arjon for keeping us safe. We saw the staff disinfecting the whole place as we were the last ones to leave.

Saturday is a great night to go live music and dj. if you like dancing to Latin music they have a good selection. Drinks are at a fair price. Smoking area, bathrooms are clean overall its a satisfying place to have a good time with friends or to socialize.

Comfortable atmosphere. Waitress was great. Went for Bachata lessons on a Thursday. Only thing was the dance floor isnt big enough for the amount of people that were taking class. Kept bumping into each other. Outside patio is nice.

Went there to have some bachata class last Thursday and the instructor is very good. Live band after the class is good. Drinks are affordable. And if youre hungry after a fun night the food truck outside has some good tacos.

I had a blast! The live band was amazing and the dancing was hot, spicy and fun! Even if you dont know how to dance, let the person who asks know and they will gladly and patiently teach you how on the dance floor even while the experienced is twirling loops around you. Still so much fun! Great to be around people my age (40s) just there to enjoy themselves...no drama. Ill be back!

Great salsa live band but the dance floor is way too small over crowded always. They should really make this club bigger since its been here for years. Lots of dancing going on but you get bumped all night long, no fun

Arjons is a local institution and has been operating for at least 20 years that I know of, but quite possiblly longer. Its technically a bar/club, but the clientele is so diverse that it really feels more like a nightly neighborhood social event. It is quite eclectic! On any given night, there is a mixture of college student, older married couples, singles, men who cant dance salsa but are on the prowl (ha!), people celebrating birthdays, large work/office groups, professional and amateur dancers, students of dance schools... its definitely a diverse crowd!If you prefer more Salsa, as opposed to alot of reggaeton and bachata, Sundays are the best nights to go. You will find a higher percentage of seasoned dancers on Sunday. night as well. And there is a dance class you can attend on Sundays before the club opens so you can get the basics down if you are a newbie!Entry is $10Pros:- Live Band- DJ- Centrally Located (near SA airport)- Dance Classes- Food Truck in Parking Lot- Lots of Seating- Valet Parking- Security (Usually a SAPD officer walkin g the crowd and at the door)Cons:- Smallish Dance Floor- Bar understaffed (I dont drink but the bar is literally always backed up, causing crowding near the dance floor)- People often standing on dance floor and not dancing- Female bathroom only has 3 stallsHope this helps! Ive been going here for many years and always have fun! It isnt a chi-chi or elegant establishment, but its fun to have a laid back place to just dance!*Ill take photos the next time I go and will ad them to this review.*

I tried to use my card to pay a tab but the bartender said it didnt go through and wouldnt give my card back. I threatened to call the police if she didnt cash me out and give me my credit card back but she still wouldnt give my card back! The owner came over and escorted me to the ATM where he watched my transaction. He now knows how much I have in the bank and possibly my PIN. Its important to note that my card was good, I had no problems withdrawing money, and I paid my tab. But the embarrassment, and inconvenience caused by the bartender was unnecessary and uncalled for. I also never got an apology from the bartender. I did get an apology from the owner but never an apology from the person responsible for the situation.Last night could have been really fun but it just wasnt...it was a night of problems that were caused by their employees.

This place is great for salsa, reggaeton. They had a band playing and they jammed! Its a restaurant that turns night club, so its smaller. Theres an outdoor area to cool off and chill. The bar is a battle field though, get 2 drinks so you wont have to go back to bar as often

Carlos, one of the dance instructors, immediately introduced himself and the place to me. Arjon came in and introduced himself, and shook my hand right away. They made me feel super comfortable even though I arrived super early... (earlier than posted hours}. I just gmaps the place and it had one of the highest ratings - I just wanted to know what it was about. This place give soul, energy, and style! Will definitely refer to friends. Good job guys!

Awesome Salsa Dance Club Where Everyone is nice to everyone and HOT Senoritas EVERYWHERE! The owner Arjon is the Sweetest and personable owner Ive ever met. Makes you feel welcome and inviting as you enter the establishment. Fair prices drinks and good local bands. As you leave there is a taco stand that has great tacos & great service!

Gr8 gr8 salsa band, they sang so well I thought it was the DJ spinning a popular song when in fact it was the band who was jamming!Water bottles were room temp but at least bartender gave me 2 cups with ice, begrudgingly but nonetheless.For the most part good crowd having a nice time just wanting to dance. Only 1 shmuck who deliberately danced beyond his space showing off and not being courteous to surrounding dancers. Or for that matter disrespecting his partner by not keeping them safe and constantly slamming them into me!

Review №53

Great place if you want to really come and dance salsa, cumbia, merengue and bachata. They had live music when we went on a Saturday. Overall we had a fun time but the dancefloor is rather small for the number of people present. I would suggest to remove some of the front tables and open up some more space for dancing as you end up running into people and getting stepped on.

Review №57

I am an habitual salsa dancer and visited this place on a Thursday night. They play great Latin music and the dance floor is ok but boy you can find some ghetto az people in there, my girlfriend didnt feel safe and said that she would never go there alone. Maybe it was a bad night, will never know. Oh also drinks here are 60% ice, 20% water, 20% alcohol.

Review №58

I cant speak to the quality of the booze offerings, because I came here to dance. While the live band had good energy, the music was mostly Latin club music rather than salsa, bachata, cumbia, or meringue, making it difficult to do partner dances. If thats your jam, then awesome, but you are still going to have a tough time dancing because the dance floor is pathetically tiny, so its virtually impossible to do turns, or even the basic salsa step, because its incredibly crowded.The cover charge is $10, and they are very proud of their place. They claimed to be in the top 10 salsa clubs in the country when one of my colleagues inquired about the comparatively high cover charge. I find that a difficult claim to swallow considering the tiny overcrowded dance floor and the fact that they only played one salsa song in the hour we were there. Maybe they play more earlier in the evening, or perhaps its because of the booze. I didnt buy any drinks but they had plenty of empty tables, and the proportion of tables to dance floor makes it very clear that selling drinks is more important to them than actually being a salsa club.If you cant dance well, you can also expect to be judged. Some of my friends who dont have much salsa experience were told rather pointedly that they do lessons earlier in the night and that they should show up to those next time. That seemed rather rude, especially because they were having fun and if they dont mind not knowing the steps and arent bothering customers, why harass them? Its better than some salsa clubs Ive been to, but not most of them. Doubling or tripling the dance floor size and cutting the attitude would go a long ways towards making this a pleasant venue for salsa dancing.

Good music. Cold beer but not good place to order drinks as they seem to have more ice than drink inside. You would need about 8 drinks to match like 3 regular drinks at other places.

Review №64

Great place to dine in and dance. Not to happy with the bartenders especially the older gentleman. If you are to drink, the B-tender may make you a margarita, as an example, later you ask for the same drink and it would taste absurdly different. They don’t have a consistency while making mix drinks. Also, they will charge you differently every time. If you open a tap, CHECK THE TICKET!!!Sorry, the photo below is a Puerto Rican comedy duo that performed at Arjohn’s.

A well-run and popular latin club with a great live band. Almost too popular on the Saturday night that I went: so crowded that it was hard to dance or even find a place to stand. The band plays salsa, bachata, cumbia, merengue and reggaeton but tends to only play one of each type before switching styles. A fun place to go but it could be frustrating for more serious dancers.
