Тики–бар (Read it as Tiki Bar)
http://www.tiki-bar.ru
Opening Times: 19:00 to 1:00 (with a couple of lessons of salsa & bachata)
The picture is not from a salsa night, but at least you can have an idea about the place and the dance floor.

Following what seems to me a tradition in Russia, another restaurant turned into a salsa place. It makes sense, that if you are not going to use much a restaurant, at least you can bring people to have some dinner and enjoy your floor. But this one, at least, has a dedicated dance floor.

There were not many people the night I was there, but they were fun dancers. It is mainly cuban and that is the style for most of the music, although they play some LA but people tend to dance it as cuban as well. Bachatas are nice, so in general is a good place to go out, meet some people and have a few dances. Nothing surprising but ok to spend some time and let the addiction rest. I think they played a Kizomba if I remember properly, yes, a Kizomba. :-)

Music:
- Cuban: 40%
- Bachata: 20%
- LA: 30%
- Kizomba: 10% (or less)

Next time I come here, I think I will go for the restaurant first and then the lessons.
