at Springstep in Medford.  We are extremely excited about Boston's world

class event, and we hope you will join us!

If you weren't there last year, you may have heard that the congress

Even if you are a novice Salsero, the Congress is for you.  There is
plenty to choose from, is is undoubtedly a sure way to keep increasing
your Salsa skills, and it will be an experience you will never forget.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm.  I have eaten there, it is tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev MacDaddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.
