4/5 for dancing salsa - has flat floors that are decent for turning, cold water, live music, cozy vibe.

$15 cover if you show up after 9pm, they accept apple/google pay and cash

Minus one star for the smoke. Your clothes will smell like smoke after.

Might want to check the band that’s playing because some bands play 10minute songs

3/5 for food because I waited FIFTY minutes for a salmon risotto that was just okay. The risotto was cold. The salmon was crispy on the outside but dry on the inside. Not worth the wait, you might want to order something else

Awesome old Spanish style set up. Huge lounge with a bar and grill and a courtyard. Cigar selection is extremely light, but the food, drinks and atmosphere are really good. It can get pretty busy so service can take time.

Cigar ball & Grill is a place a often go on a weekly basis. They have great bar bites and drinks. They have indoor and outdoor seating with music.

They have another indoor area where they usually host bachata dance classes every Thursday at 7pm followed by a social party till 11pm with early bird pass costing only $8usd. Normal walk-in pass is $10usd which is the most affordable dance social in SF by far in 2025 that I've been to.

I love their fries 🍟 alot. They do provide free water as well for non-alcoholic drinkers. Great vibes , great music. If you sit outdoor, beware of all the smoking and stuff. So if you dislike the smell and the loud music, you might wanna consider sitting all the way back in, inside the restaurant.

It's a fun and chill place. And if you don't mind a cigar smell a perfect place for a date; tho you still can sit inside and not smell it...

It is Thursdays for Bachata, Friday and Saturday salsa. If you go 9 PM, the entry is free. But after is $15.

This.Place has atmosphere in spades...
It was quite nice, especially on one of the dance nights. I saw people have plenty of fun. Too bad to be my friend darl. I have baby lungs so sadly. I couldn't enjoy it same as my friend. But it is a nice playes. I can't enjoy it but it wasn't. I seen the actual blike Latin dance night. It was so nice if you can handle the smoke. It's worth it. It's a nice date place to take your nice partner that you've been with for a while.Or one that loves dancing 100% recommended.It would be wonderful to do tax.To first go out to dinner somewhere and then come here and dance.Oh I want the events.Oh yes do it..

Very unimpressed with food. Service was absolutely horrible. I sat for over 30 minutes before anyone acknowledged me. And the place was practically empty with two servers. They just absolutely ignored me. I had to grab a waiter and ask for service. He apologized but had an excuse for ignoring me.

I also find it odd that it is a cigar bar but you can’t smoke in the bar.

I just arrived back home from dancing Salsa at the Cigar Bar. I hadn't danced in 5 years. Ava Apple and Redolofo Guzman taught a Salsa lesson at the beginning of the night. I used to take lessons from them in Berkeley. It was nice seeing them again. They're fantastic teachers. I love the Cigar Bar. I used to go there all the time. It's still one of my favorite places to go dancing. The people are always friendly and the service is excellent. 👍💃

My husband loves Cigars and we just stopped in to check it out. This was our first time in SF and we really enjoyed the city. We will definitely come back and visit.
