Like A Local GuideFebruary 3, 2015Great DJs, chilled relaxed multicultural vibe. It's one of the best places to go dancing if you don't like big clubs. Get there early and chill in the hammock with a Mojito. Read more
Omari AllenMay 28, 2017Amazing Brazilian vibes. Only downside is the size; it's very crowded with hardly any room to dance. Also note that the watermelon drink everyone recommends is basically vodka w/ a splash of fruit.
LDecember 23, 2016Small, buzzy bar playing Latin music. Recommended to us by several locals for dancing but make sure you arrive ready for it as a bit too loud for pre-drinks.- Conrad Greiner-BechertApril 19, 2018Very dimly lit, great for dancing, always popping if you show up at the right time and in the right mood. May have a $10 cover charge some nights.
Angelique HoutveenFebruary 26, 2016Rum and salsa. Very small but cozy place. Dance the night away. Friendly doorman who borrowed me his coat when I had to use the ATM outside. Went there on a Thursday.
Marcela ErazoMarch 1, 2016I love this place, great music AMAZING cocktails (cash only) but suuuuuuper crowded
Andre R.January 26, 2014Came with a friend looking for salsa & Afrobeat dancing. What I got was a bunch of square-jawed guys dancing awkwardly with a slew of drunken girls. The live percussion & drinks were on point though.
Vivian RamirezSeptember 26, 2016Can get pretty crowded. You need to be jn party mode before you arrive.
Doraly PantaleonFebruary 8, 2015Cash only!!!! Good Spanish hype music and average drink prices for Williamsburg. If you come after 12 be ready for the wait in line.
Bianca CunninghamJune 18, 2013Loved the music especially the drummer but the space is super cramped and im not a fan of hipsters pretending to bacchata. . I prefer a more authentic experience- Raquelle JessieMarch 14, 2015GET THE WATERMELON DRINK! W REAL WATERMELON! LIVE BONGOS awesome music I felt like I was back in spain. loved it.
Zeekbatey BateyJanuary 31, 2013When u come to bembe come comfortable like T-shirt, and girls come ready to dance all night long. Probably you will find your love in bembe..
ShivonneJuly 12, 2014...great place for dancing on Friday! Soca, Calypso, Dancehall and Kompa. Good crowd...come ready to sweat.
Carmen RodriguezJune 24, 2016This gem in Williamsburg is a solid option for a little bump and grind.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 23, 2015I went here once before I lived in NY. It was a raging packed dancehall party. Never could find the place again until this year. Def a gem, but PACKED.
Nicky JonesOctober 6, 2013Live percussionist and DJ keep the crowd dancing all night. Mostly Afro Caribbean and samba. Small venue, always crowded.
