$20 cover for guys after a certain time (maybe midnight?), comes with a free shot
10/10 would recommend this place. The atmosphere was amazing! The food and drinks were phenomenal. Ivan was very attentive and made my groups experience wonderful.
I love this place, I have been coming for years and It’s always such a fun atmosphere! Great people, good music and tasty drinks! Def a must visit
Though tightly packed, their seafood is super fresh and paella is absolutely amazing
Went for bachata Tuesday. Great atmosphere. Feels very comfortable. No one is judging you, no matter what your level of dancing is. Drinks are reasonably priced for Manhattan. Food is delicious, tapas style.
Ive been coming to Kanas for years and it is recently under new management. I am really impressed with the renovations they have done to the place - it looks brand new! The food and cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere is always fun and inviting! A must try if you are in the city!!
Excellent customer service, fun atmosphere, great drinks and tasty latin food
Visited this place while in NYC. Omg the food and vibes were amazing. The gambas (shrimp) were so good that I had to repeat them. The servers were also great. The tapas were so good and the drinks as well.
This was the best experience ever!! The staff is so warm and welcoming, the drinks and the food are AMAZING!!100% recommended!
I went there yesterday for free kizomba lesson and it was great. The environment was really welcoming but small. 😍😍 still a great place to hangout and enjoy your time though!
Have been a fan since day one!We had the cheese plate, Jamon Serrano and the cheese empanadas (by the way they have so much cheese, so good!)Love the ambiance, such a good mix of people. Every Saturday night around 12 am the clear the tables in the back room and it turns into a late night with Spanish pop music, rock, salsa and everything youd like to hear.Always fun, I definitely recommend this place for dinner and to dance!
Yesterday was our first time and our last in this place. It was my friend’s birthday from Venezuela and we wanted to go out and dance, but Tuesday’s night DJ for bachata night is absolutley rude and terrible. He has a Russian girlfriend that seats next to him behind a laptop and they both drink all night, when someone asks for a song, they Just act super rude ‘we won’t play what you asked for, go away’ ... we were a group of 10 people and everyone left this place in a bad mood. I do not recommend this DJ or his Russian girlfriend on this night at all.
Honestly the best time I’ve had in a very long time, great drinks, great music especially for a soho location ❤️✨🙌🏼
Kañas can be a hit or miss place. Their music after 12 is always great, mostly spanish and usually very fun if you want to dance the night away. It can either get really packed or it can be empty but the crowd is usually good. Definitely bring cash much easier when the bar gets packed since it is small. Their paella is very yummy also and good to share for 2.
Chicken empanadas were fried a little too hard but the chicken was seasoned very well. The margaritas are made with fresh fruit which makes them even more delicious!
Delicious food with dance events on Tuesdays. Good happy hour
Food is always good. DJ needs to be replaced, he is in love with shakira, this used to be the beat Spanish rock place in Manhattan till this guy ruined it all.
Great atmosphere and owner is friendly!
The bartenders love to OVERCHARGE. (This happened more than once to me here). I opened a tab and was CHARGED FOR DRINKS I NEVER HAD and a tip of 40% (not kidding) was INCLUDED. The music was all from the 80-90s. If you are into any, or both, of the above. Go for it, otherwise consider another spot. Perhaps Gonzalez & Gonzalez.
The food is fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend the potatoes and garlic shrimps. The restaurant hosts kizomba dance lessons and night on Tuesdays from 7:00 PM, which are amazing; great ambiance and diverse crowd. However, please note that tip is automatically included in your food receipt. I dont like the fact that the tip line doesnt say additional tip. This is very misleading.
I went on a Saturday and I know they have a different lineup depending on the day of the week. They were playing a good international mix of music in Spanish including a good selection of Mexican rock. Its a tiny place and the location is just a little too far from the train in Soho. Use the coat check, they have hooks along the wall but I saw multiple issues with people moving coats or people who couldnt find their stuff so just keep it simple and pay for the coat check. :-b
Small, local bar/restaurant. Nightly DJ music/dancing to Latin beats begin at 7pm.Conveniently located near 1, 6 and E Subway stations. Opened late hours.
Their octopus tapas are a Must to try. I like going there on Weekend night, after 11ish they change the set-up to a dance floor and play the best music, it is a latinos type of bar (plenty of new Yorkers and Europeans love it as well) but isnt the typical bar, youll get to hear some latin rock, as well as some merengue, salsa, regueton, samba, all my fav
I love the Kizomba After Work parties starting at 6:30 pm every other Tuesday. Dance2theHeartbeat with Guida & David starting with a free workshop! Sweet, Sexxy and so much fun! Delayed my return trip to the Left Coast so I could attend!
I attended a Kizomba class here. I had fun but didnt get a chance to try any of the food. What I did see looked delicious.
Best place in Soho to take drinks, dance and make new friends, love it.
The owners are very nice. The drinks are great and inexpensive. Great venue and atmosphere.
Good music good food. Small place but cosy and welcoming. On Tuesdays there are some dance lessons . Worth it
Absolutely great service. Family owned business opened right before covid closed and up and running again. The food and drinks were great 👍🏻
Been here ,ans we kero on going, good food ,drinks and the people are very nice.,we always stay until 2 am.love it
The food was so good, atmosphere was very chill. The hospitality Marcos was attentive and helpful. Meatballs appetizer is a must!
Didnt eat the food, but came when it was a bar. Very good crowd, good Latin music. Recommended
Sweeeet gin tonic with lime😋 nice evening with my girls on Bachelorette party🤩🤩🤩
A great place good food and incredible music...
The best day is tuesday with the bachata and salsa Dj matatan spinning the best music! plus cerveza el presidente from DR, nice empandas and wood floor to dance, and good dancers
Amazing place. Great food and music. Mauro is the homie!
Parties have gotten worse over time with its DJ. But this place is great. Food is good for such a late menu.
Great ambiance. Shrimp was good. Skirt steak was ok.
My go to, always . Good food, great vibes.
Best latin bar in nyc !
I love dancing Kizomba on Tuesdays at the place 1st, 3rd, & 5th Tuesdaybod the month.
Maybe the rock shows are great, but the food is bad, even the shrimp with garlic sauce, which has everything to be good, is just okay.
For me, going to Kaña has nothing to with food.Yes they have awesome tapas, but kaña is the best Spanish rock bar in the city.
Family owned restaurant. Food is great and drinks are amazing!
Great to dance. The $10 cover after 11:30 is a little excessive considering the space.
First time here last night but once they moved the tables out of the way around midnight it went from a good bar to a great Rock bar!
Great variety of music along the week with clases and social dance of kizomba, salsa, bachata,... good selection of tapas.
Dont leave a tip. Be careful, they calculate 20% tip automatically, but when they bring you the receipt to sign theres still a space to write a tip.
Quiet and intimate bar, was great for a good sized gathering after a tech meetup
Small place but love the spanish vibesss
Beautiful place! Great people. Very recommended!
Amazing empanadas. Great margaritas. The music was great and really nice vibes
Dj was absolutely horrible. This place has not updated their music in over a decade.
So nice! Friendly people, nice music and very good tapas.
Love this place. The music is great and the cheese empanadas are delicious!
They have dance music after 10 pm.
It rocks in Spanish but just great vibe I wish the space don hills has was the size of kana
Great, food, free dance classes and great music!
Food was not the best ever, but nice atmosphere and cool people
Laid back tapas bar. Food was average. Our waitress was the worse.
Great spot to meet with friends. Try the empanadas, they are definitely worth the trip.
Cool place and lovely American and Latin pop rock music
Great food and staff are so friendly
Excellent service and food at good prices. Definitely recommend.

Come for the music,
Llegué a visitar a un amigo y este me invitó a socializar en este lugar.Todo estaba agradable, se cerró una primera cuenta por $170 (piqueos y sangría) porque el lugar se hace discoteca después de determinada hora.La hecatombe:Decidimos abrir una segunda cuenta y se pidió una botella de whisky de $270, todo estaba bien, la botella se terminó y pensábamos pedir una segunda. Fuí al sanitario, y al regresar no había nadie en la mesa, tomé la copa de wiskhy que ahí tenía y me dirigí afuera del establecimiento al notar que mis amigos estaban en una discusión. Yo salgo, y que se me abalanza el guardia/portero y me arrancha la copa de mi mano SIN DARME LA MENOR EXPLICACIÓN.El desenlace:Exigí explicación y el tipo se puso violento a gritarme, le dije que la cuenta fue pagada y quería me devuelvan lo que pagué y me pertenecía. Ya en este punto las personas que nos acompañaban estaban muy asustadas. Sin embargo, yo no podía permitir el atropello y falta de educación.Mi amigo dice que se enfureció porque en la carta decía que el costo de la botella era de $270 y con impuestos pongamos que llegue a $320 y los tipos al cerrar la cuenta para pedir la otra botella terminaron cobrando $100 (ABUSIVAMENTE) más de lo previsto aduciendo que habían puesto hielo y agua mineral, cosa que en todo lugar del mundo incluye al comprar la botella.La pipa de la paz:Finalmente nos fuimos, no sin antes recordarle al individuo que existen maneras de tratar. Que un consumo de $500 no es poco significativo como para recibir maltratos, menos aún ante la presencia de mujeres.Edición (2022/05/15):Ví el comentario de la dueña del lugar y como defensa del maltrato acusado aquí, ha tachado de delincuente acuchillador al amigo que nos llevó, ha mentido sobre la cantidad de personas que estábamos ahí (estábamos menos de 6 y no más), y ha dicho que al final hemos pedido perdón (lo cortez no quita lo valiente). Rechazo enérgicamente estás estrategias de manipulación de opiniones y reitero la falta de tacto en el trato del turista latino.
I went at night and the place was very crowded, it looks like a disco, its small but it has a good Latin vibe and good music to dance until late. I dont know how it will be during the day but I liked it at night and the drinks they sold. I tried the frozen margarita, very tasty 😋😊
The place is so crowded that sometimes you dont even have space to dance. The DJ is missing a bit, since the changes between one song and another are very abrupt, and sometimes you dont even know what song will come because of the mix he does (it will be electronica or a merengue or what).After 11 oclock they charge men $20 cover, they give them a ticket to claim a shot.If it is very crowded, buying at the bar is sometimes impossible.
I was visiting New York for an invitation as Mrs. Tourism International, I found out about this bar because a friend from Ecuador took us who I hadnt seen for 8 years, the first night I was able to go out to a bar since I had an agenda and my intention was eat and share with my friends, at first we ate everything well, that account was paid, then in the next account, which was a whiskey, they gave us more values than ever, they informed us, we were four people and they charged us as if we were 6 people, something that It wasnt, the place is too small. I have had the opportunity to travel to many countries and the first time I have experienced bad treatment and fright since seeing that a guard takes a friend out just for claiming the extra charge they made us, he yells at him and grabs him without fault of anything, being winged two women who deserve respect.I recommend you improve customer service, enter customer service training courses, since everything that is tourism we sell services, and nobody travels to spend and leave their money to be mistreated.
What will I tell them I had the worst experience in my life with friends! After asking for appetizers, I asked to cancel that account, I made 140 and paid what I consumed, then I opened another account and asked for a bottle of whiskey, the menu said 275 plus tax, I assumed 280 and something, but the bar charged me 381 dollars, 101 dollars more, I asked them to Will you explain to me why the charge of 100 dollars more told me that for ice and water???? When you pay that amount for whiskey, it comes with that… they couldnt explain to me no matter how much I demanded of them, they charged me the same, it was worth it, mother, with great disgust I saw that they didnt want to return the payment of that amount, I complained to them after canceling, they hacked me out of the bar because according to them my claim was wrong! Then I went out I asked them not to touch me!!! A friend came out to tell me I was fine and the guy at the door pushed my friend and took his drink without telling him, totally confused! My friend put him in his place because the behavior was not proper but I have not been more unpleasant my friends were tourists and what an experience they took away what a shame I spent around 600 dollars to be treated badly !! I do not recommend this place because of the poor treatment of New Yorkers and tourists, they serve you with intimidation, they rob you by charging you when you close your account, as they think they see you drunk, they want to charge you excessively! Be very careful the WORST PLACE IN NEW YORK DONT GO SPEND your money elsewhere where they treat you well but NOT here
Very good place is ideal to share with friends very good music
I ate squid fritters and it was good. There was a quantity that didnt look like tapas.
Its okay to have a few drinks
An excellent Spanish place and at night you can dance

2022-07-18An “alright” hidden bar. Not much inside and not many people. Good to pregame to go to a more popular club. Nice Latin music but not to spend the night their. A plus the location is quite scary.
Review №2
2022-04-25The place was quite small but played really good music and the crowds energy was pretty chill and fun.Except for this trans woman who for some reason had a problem with me and decided to put ALL OF HER WEIGHT on me purposely while I waited at the bar for drinks. I totally understand much personal space isn’t something reasonable to expect when out clubbing or at bars but she blatantly used her entire body weight to cause me discomfort. She was much larger than me and had no reason to do that to me. I didn’t even notice/interact with her before she disrespected my person. I will admit in that moment I was a bit intimidated by how much larger she was than me and based on past experiences I’ve had with people who don’t respect my body. I tried pushing her off me but her big self wouldn’t move. Her friend kept looking at me like she was worried and uncomfortable for me. I didn’t want this antagonizer to react crazy resulting in a scene, so I got away and let it go once I bought a bottle and was moved to a table.The bartenders and staff were kind. The bartenders ran out of proper shot glasses and started selling these small 1oz pours for the same price... not cool. Seems like they are okay with cheating their customers because I confronted a bartender about the shot not being enough and he lied to me saying a shot is 1oz which is not true! What I was buying there prior was 1.5oz if not more. I’d still give this place one more shot.

2020-10-24Love this family owned and run lil bar. Great wine list, just ask! Working on their hand made cocktail list, and great tapas at an affordable price. Worth a stop in regardless of whether you want one drink or want to park in for the night. Definitely plan on coming back, love the brothers that run the place.

2021-09-16Went there after a networking event with a party of 11. Staff treated us great, quick with the food and even sent over a round of shots. The vibe of the place always good and the food was great, all except the pizza. That was a soggy, melty mess. We ate so fast there was no tome for photos.

Review №7
2021-07-19I really enjoy this place. Their food is amazing. Especially, the empanadas. Their drinks are great too. At night they offer a nice party with nice mixed music were you can dance and have a great time. I wish they could have more bathrooms because sometimes it get a big line. Overall they have a great place, music and service. I highly recommend it for celebrations and birthdays!
