Best Free Flamenco Venues In Boston Near Me

Owen Tredennick: Asado de Huesos was one of the best things I have ever tasted. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, so mix it up!Will be back again and again…and again.

Caitlin McPheron: Authentic Spanish tapas style restaurant. They offer Iberian ham, manchego cheese, bocadillos among other Spanish staples. Great Spanish wine selection as well. We ordered asado de huesos, jamón ibérico, queso de cabra, and maíz asado for two people and it was plenty. Service was great and atmosphere was cozy. Highly recommend.

Dustin Maneethai: Excellent tapas served fresh. The paella was definitely a star but it's quite filling. For two I would recommend the paella and perhaps 3 tapas dishes. The service was excellent. In fact our waters never seemed to drain and we couldn't figure out why.Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Tapas, Paella Valenciana …More

Cristian Suarez: Because of how good the tapas was, I’m giving it a four star. But considering how low-key trash the drinks were, I’d give it a limp 3 star. Fun atmosphere though.

Chingsung Chang: Tables are a bit small. Food is good, but be prepared to spend a decent amount. Overall I do think it is a bit on the pricier side, but there's enough on the menu that's unique. The paella was a tad disappointing though, especially for a Spanish placeFood: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 3/5Recommended dishes Patatas Bravas Fried …More

Jing Wu: Worst Manager！！！ Waitlist shows around 45 minutes, but We have waited for 90 mins with no calls or messages. When we asked them, they said they had sent the message, which we didn’t receive it. The solution from manager is waiting another 120 minutes. The most ridiculous solution ever heard.

Alejandra Ortiz: We shared 4 plates: mushrooms with the egg, shishito peppers, shrimps, churros and flan. Everything was good and the choice of drinks and cocktails too. Bartenders were very attentive and recommend us good drinks.

chad svastisalee: Toro is uniquely located on Washington Street in the South End. One thing to know... fresh tapas are always A-Mazing and sharing with your family and besties make meals memorable. Just eating Spanish food because you know it’s delicious is a treat in itself. Toro is a must place to check out. The best way to tapas is to order a little bit of everything, and if you come across something you don’t love, that’s ok. Toro customized our menus with our son's name and boy was he surprised! Sit in their heated outdoor patio or inside the bustling hot spot and you'll be in good hands either way. Don’t let the crowd or wait for a table ruin the whole experience. The local beer selection is good, paired well with our tapas. We started with batatas bravas, calamari with shishito peppers and a well thought charcuterie board to start. Every pinxtos was delicious. Ostros Escabeche, island creek Oysters we're swimming in flavor and although we thought the Empanadas were a bit over fried, they were still tasty inside. We shared two rounds of Risotto de Longostos, it was devine and our boys favorite. The attention to detail to seasoning, plating and staff are on point at Toro.

julesss1: No regards for allergies and dietary restrictions- served two dishes with allergens after clearly stating otherwise.

Anthony Cozier: Tres Gatos was on point tonight. The vibe is boisterous and hip. The cocktails kitty got claws and Pom cat went down waaaay too smooth. The three cheeses were amazing but the steak tartare, sea scallops and mussels were out of this world. Finished off the night with a 3rd round of drinks and the Churros con Chocolate. Service was also on point as they kept checking that we were good. I promise you I will be back! Go here when visiting Boston or a rando night out! You will not regret it.Parking: Small public parking lot close by

Benjamin Trigani: Great tapas and drinks in the Jamaica Plain area. A bit pricey, but you know what you're paying for going in. Definitely will go again.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian Paella is great!

Alissa Nowak: There was a miscommunication and we were seated at a high top with a high chair for our 3 year old, unfortunately the high chair didn't reach the table. The manager was so sweet and apologetic, and she did a great job of figuring out a solution quickly. My toddler loved the meatballs. The other couple we went with is vegetarian, and there were plenty of delicious options for us to share. My husband and I loved the steak tartar. We will definitely be back, the service was fantastic and they did a great job making sure we were happy.

Klaus Earl Loft: This one of those places where it just works.... great bar crowd great staff... and the tapas are just perfect for this place.

Jea Kim: Nestled in a quiet JP neighborhood, Tres Gatos is a good place to enjoy tapas in a causal and relaxing atmosphere. It is housed in an old building, and the retro bookstore decorations set an uncomplicated setting that goes along well with the theme of the restaurant.On my recent visit, I got to try several pinchos and tapas, and most of the dishes were fairly good. I liked that they didn’t over-season their food, and seared sea scallops, Brussels sprouts, and chickpea fritters were some of the standouts. The playful integration of citrus in the Brussels sprouts was particularly enjoyable, and the Greek-inspired chickpea fritters were also very interesting. Paella was the least favorite part of the meal as it lacked the socarrat-like caramelization and crunch.Overall, a solid tapas experience with a couple of interesting dishes. Service was great throughout our meal, and while I probably wouldn’t travel from far to try them again, it was certainly interesting to learn what the tapas scene is like in the Boston suburbs.

Alexander Ostrow: Avoid.

Martha Schick: I love Tres Gatos - wonderful food, plus a record and bookstore in the back! We had shishito peppers, brussels sprouts, albondigas, scallops, and tortilla espanola, plus the chocolate creme brulee. It was all delicious and made for a great meal for two. The cocktails were also lovely, I'll definitely have the Hawthorne again next time, if it's still around.

Mon Liu: I rarely give 5 stars unless something keeps me coming back, so 4 it is. This place had succeed to hold a trendy vibe - The street is quiet, you walk up, open the door and wow it's a whole new market in there! when you walk in to this 1st level apartment-like space, its homey and party like at the same time.I like that The theme is - Tapas. Small plates, peculiar ingredient combinations like escargot on bone marrow spread on handmade toast should fit for an award. There are plates that I ask "where is the pasta to these meatballs" lol.. I love the presentation nonetheless.Appetizer is sampling of choice of 3, or 5, charcuterie boards - chicken liver, and more.. Main dishes are also tapas. Small, this dishes I find it pricey at low around $16+, high at $27 - $33 per dish. Probably won't visit on a regular basis but will definitely be back for a good round of the unique dishes when my pockets feel fuller.

London Management: A great and unexpected vibey treat for a Friday night in JP.The veggie food was 🏻, the mushroom soup, the lentils, and the vegetable paella were fantastic. The wine is good, and spending an hour or so browsing vinyl in the shop behind the restaurant was a sweet little added bonus.10/10

Duckenson Castel: So much have changed here. Recently started taking classes and I love it. Bathroom are kept clean, it's super easy to take classes here. You do have to sign in with the instructors online or walk-in and pay in person. Would absolutely recommend you create an account on mind and body, follow the in-person schedule and go from there. Majority of the studios are very spacious as well.The staff is super awesome and amicable, which makes you want to keep coming back.And I love how they started incorporating mindfulness practices before/during majority of the classes. And a wide variety of dance genres and cultures.Overall great experience, love this place.

Phil Cohen: Dance Complex is awesome. Try capoeira

Kirsten Williams: Positive:Professionalism,Quality

Sarah B - she her: Positive:Communication,QualityWelcoming, inclusive dance studio in the heart of Cambridge. Instructors are qualified, skillful dancers and encouraging teachers. I always feel safe to push past my comfort zone here.

Gustave Laflare: Critical:ProfessionalismThis place is stealing people’s money and refuse to refund your money. AVOID GOING THERE!

Lisa Fusaro: Amazing so much fun. Natalie was awesome. Thank you so much

Londyn Korol: Reminds one of stereotypical, old fashioned dance studios with winding wooden stairs and exposed brick. Lovely building. A couple weird spots in the Studio 3 floor but nothing crazy. Easy to find, bike rack out front, lots of street parking.

brian cooper: Positive:Communication,Professionalism

Shanelle S: Three-floored community with a variety of dance classes. Came here on a Saturday for an impromptu Samba dance class at 1:30pm. It’s just one stop away on the red line from Harvard, so it’s a convenient option for students. It’s $15 for the samba class, but they’ll take cash and credit card. There’s a Santander right across the street if you need an ATM, since some of the classes are cash only. Note for Bank of America cardholders, there is a $3 ATM fee. There is a gender neutral bathroom availableThe 1:30-3pm Samba class was super fun. It was my first time doing Samba, but the teacher was super energetic and there are plenty of other beginners so you don’t have to feel awkward. You can put your stuff on the right hand side along the wall, and there’s plenty of mirror space so you can watch yourself shake it. There were people of all ages and it was good vibes all around. It started with a warm up and then payment, and then the actual Samba class. There was even a live band that played while we danced. At the end, there was a dance circle and everyone left sweaty but happy. The dance center overall is a cool spot and you can try out a number of different dance styles and classes no matter what age you are. I noticed on the bulletin board they have kid classes as well.

Tonya Lockwood: “ Afro Flow yoga is lit.” Andrew, 11 years old.

Rocephin W: The staff was very friendly.

Rohan Patel: Great location but not really great from inside.Good:1) the location. Right into Central square connecting to bus and train.2) price and classes: thrle salsa class I got deal on Groupon had 50% off and the instructor is super amazing.Bad:1. The entire building is super old. Not enough space for crowd waiting for next class, the bathrooms smells worse than public restrooms. And changing rooms are joined with those smelly toilets.2. Noise: People out from other classes are totally inconsiderate of other classes going and make so much noise that almost impossible to listen to your instructor. Sadly management doesn't care about it3. Building quality: building is not meant for dance classes as the windows shake due to dancea going on a floor above you and the noise of footsteps are completely distracting.Will I consider going for a class next time?Yes. If I get 50% off deal then I will.No. If I am paying good amount of money for the classes.

Mahala Burn: I find that the Dance Complex feels like the local community centers of my childhood- a bit ramshackle, but very functional for its purpose and full of friendly people of all ages, shapes, and backgrounds. It serves in a way an Equinox would never want to. Over the years, I've taken Haitian, West African, Nia, and Modern here and felt I was in a safe and supportive environment to move and express myself. The instructors are widely varied yet consistently skilled and inclusive, and for most classes there is great flexibility for dropping in when you are able given challenging work or personal schedule demands. I would definitely recommend if you feel you are lacking in community and/or need to find a place to move without judgement.

T: Amazing...full of culture good people and fun

Jenna Sunshine: The Dance Complex is great! They're a nonprofit organization that's really into keeping performing arts alive. It's a big place with a great vibe. There's a very comfortable down to earth atmosphere, and although there are advanced dancers there, you can be brand new to dance, and/or be older or heavier and you WON'T feel awkward there. Most of the classes and students are beginner to intermediate. There's a huge variety of classes offered there & you can view the class schedule on their website. Most of the class rooms are rented out by the hour to various instructors or companies, so you'd most likely be paying the instructor or their assistant. I point this out because people frequently ask why they can't sign up online. So the instructor is renting the room, and the students are paying the instructor, NOT the Dance Complex. I suggest you look at their schedule online and if you see a class you're interested in, click through to the description and you'll see how to sign up and whether a class is drop-in or session based. If the class you're interested in is a drop in class, then don't worry about the logistics of signing up & paying in advance, just show up, bring cash with you, and the instructor or their aide will help you & get you all set up. If you have any interest in dance but you're nervous because you have no experience, then THIS is the place to go! If you are new to dance, don't worry, you won't walk into a scary environment with professional dancers everywhere looking at you; instead you'll see many beginners, and people of all different sizes, races, ages and no one there is judgemental. Dance on!

Pasqualino Ferralis: Excellent dance school of various genres, excellent teachers

Stephanie Ruiz: I don't hate it or like it i love it

Yi-Hsin Lin: Great place to learn dance. The atmosphere is very laid back. You just show up and pay the teacher directly. Sometimes the price is a little different than what's stated on the website though.Every teacher has been very friendly and supportive, even if it turns out their class isn't the right style/level for you. Classes seem to have regular crowds attending, so the class does progress over the course of the semester while remaining friendly to drop-ins. Highly recommended!

Peter Galvin: The nexus of dance in Boston/Cambridge. Love the classes and the dance community centered here. It's a gem of life in the city.

Adee C: Idk why someone said that the bathrooms small cuz it doesn't and is actually SUPER neat. Everyone is really nice and supportive. The classes are killers! Totally recommend~👍
