Editorial Review for The Mayan – by Matt MacDonald
In Short
A landmark in L.A.'s historic theater district for more than 70 years, the Mayan leads a double life as an occasional concert hall and as a sizzling salsa club where Latin lovers and salsa dancers show off their moves. Friday and Saturday nights spotlight live salsa music with a bouncing blend of DJ-mixed Latin, meringue, retro, house and funk grooves shaking things up between sets.

I cannot stand the Mayan... Too dark, too much fog, music is too too loud, the dance floor is terrible, it's such a pick up joint rather than a dance club, not the greatest neighborhood, and too pricey for all the above. By the time you pay for parking, the cover, coat check, a couple drinks, forget it! The famed Alex da Silva teaches there Saturday nights, and that's not worth it either. His jokes are always the same, his moves don't change, his attitude... well, let's not go there, I've said enough.

Great night club, has huge hall for salsa, and 2 other rooms ( hip hop) They also have lots of live music too. Great dancers, nice atmosphere and not too pricey at $15 when I went. The women are usually very beautiful, and they have some serious dancers there. If your looking for a great LA club experience this would be it. Hope that helps.
Pros: Great music, great dancing
Cons: drinks can be pricey
