No good, this place is very hot, it's the first time I come here to Insonia, you have to tell the owner to put a good central air, it's very hot inside, this is my opinion, I came to Cali land and I've been stopped for 4 hours and everything starts late and at 11 better I went home this is my opinion

You don't play music for everyone's taste, just merengue, salsa and Reggaeton songs and they repeat the same songs and the horrible heat inside

Salsa Night at Insomnia Bar and Restaurant
I visited Insomnia Bar and Restaurant at 810 Brookline Boulevard, Pittsburgh, PA 15226, for Latin dance night on Friday, June 14, featuring music by DJs DJ Cumba, Mike David (DJ D’Aço), and Jeff Shirey. This was my first review of the venue, although I have been a regular visitor.
Upon arrival, I was surprised to be searched by armed security at the door, which was a first for me. They also asked to view my identification for entry. While the security personnel were respectful and kind, this new procedure raised some concerns about potential incidents since my last visit. Nonetheless, I appreciate the proactive measures and give 5 stars for their approach to safety.
The venue charges a $10.00 cover per person. Once inside, the dance floor was spacious, and the seating was arranged in a U-shape, which was comfortable and conducive to socializing. We dined on chicken wing dings and tacos, both of which were delicious, earning a solid 4 stars for the food.
However, the lack of fresh air inside the venue was a significant downside. It gets very hot, and the fans only circulated warm air, which didn't help cool the space. This aspect deserves 3 stars.
While the venue is excellent for dancing and socializing, the music by the three DJs was underwhelming. Despite having three different DJs, the music selection felt repetitive and monotonous. I expected more variety and distinct styles, but it was mostly the same sound throughout the night. Therefore, I rate the music selection 3 stars.
Overall, I enjoy visiting Insomnia Bar and Restaurant for its vibrant atmosphere, great dance floor, and mature audience. However, the DJ's music selection could use more diversity, and the venue needs better ventilation to improve comfort. Despite these drawbacks, I still recommend Insomnia for a fun night of Latin dancing.
Parking: Parking is available along Brookline Boulevard. Insomnia does not have a direct parking lot for customers, so be aware that you may end up parking several blocks away from the venue.

1st time there, wasn't there to eat. Went to listen to a very popular band from México. There was lots of security who did their job efficiently. The bartenders were excellent. They were quick and the drinks were great. I hadn't seen that band play in 25 years. I loved it!!! Wish more popular bands would come to our area. The best part was their taco truck outside when it was over. Loved the tacos al pastor. Can't wait to go again

The 1st event I went to was lit but the prices of drinks ? are ridiculous! 8$ for a half shot.. 8$ French fries an 8$ wings, And don't get me started on the bottle prices for the section. Neg, no free water only bottled and they ran out of cervesas Holmes. No bueno. I'll more than likely attend another event but I'll be at least 5 shots n before walking thru the doors. But excellent entertainment.
