I just returned from PV, where my girlfriend and I spent 3 evenings in attempts to find a salsa scene. It appears not to exist. The Trip Advisor review published on 5/11/07 is still so spot on that it deserves to be repeated here:

Dont miss J^B, if you like to dance.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/18/07
If you like salsa, cumbia, mambo, megrenge, J&B is the right place for you, the new authentic Cuban band is a guarantee of excellent music and plenty of fun. Tip, the band starts around midnight, dont go before.

Cumbia and weird Rock and Roll Club
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/11/07
I go to Puerto Vallarta at least once a year. Every time, I go to J&B hoping that the dancers have gotten better. They haven't. If you don't know anything about salsa, then you'll have fun here, but if you're looking for a real salsa club with real salsa music, this is not it. Atmosphere is fun and funky, from the giant palm ...
Aside from La Bodeguita - best place to dance Cuban style or rueda - J&B was a dancer's paradise. As always, as a single female traveler it takes a while for the local dancers to ask one to dance, but once I got onto the dance floor I was going all night. I found one dancer, an older gentleman, that I rate among the best 3 dancers I've ...

We would go every night!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/07/05
We walked in and felt like Baby in Dirty Dancing when she carries the watermelon--everyone there is an amazing dancer and the music is fantastic. However, we also weren't afraid to dance. Everyone was extremely friendly. It is definitely better for late-night. It looks a little divey compared with what you may expect, but safe and fun. We were ...

JB You have to know nightclubs and be open minded....
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/05/04
JB is not a beautiful tourist nightclub. Rumberos, unlike gringos who don't frequent salsa nightclubs, know that the important thing in a nightclub is finding someone to dance with. It is very true that JB is usually 1/3 full except for Fridays or Saturday nights after 11pm. This is the place to go when all you want to do is dance. It is a sort ...
