The Reef Caribbean Restaurant & Lounge Philadelphia, PA United States

The Reef is the place to dance to dance salsa on Tuesday nights. Although this restaurant has different dancing events on different night of the week, if you want to know where to go to find great dancers on a Tuesday, look no further! Although, the bachata is featured here, you'll have ample opportunity to dance salsa, merengue, cha cha and mambo. The decor is elegant and recently redone. The dance floor is above average, the drinks are excellent and so's the takeout!
