This Week in Salsa

City Club Thanksgiving Party Recap & Weekend Notes
And what a night it was!
220+ people were in the house last Saturday at the City Club, for the first real "test" of this new Salsa Spot! And... it was ALL THUMBS UP! So people told us at least. And you know what? It wasn't even packed! Good times for sure. Thanks to all that helped make it a great night out.

Please take the Thanksgiving Party Survey!

We'd really like to know your thoughts, even from those that missed it.

Early Photos (my own, more coming from 2-3 different people)


One thing multiple people brought to my attention that we've so far failed to let people know about, is just how INEXPENSIVE THE DRINKS ARE! $5 Martini's! $4 Cocktails! And so on. Yo! Where else do you get that in Boston?!

Thanksgiving Weekend Picks & Notes
Wed: An Tua Nua, our busiest night of the year! Come rock the house.
Thur: Eat Turducken! (note: City Club and Ryles are both closed)
Sat: Havana Club will be 'jammin! At JHCC

Save the Date: Wed. Dec. 10
Salsa Wednesdays at An Tua Nua (and formerly Sophia's) 8th Anniversary Party! It might be the 9th actually, but who knows... Big party anyway! Performances, giveaways, and more special stuff.

Thursday, Dec. 4: City Club will be OPEN!
Normally we're closed the first week of the month, but this month the bricklayers are taking the night off (perhaps to come dancing...?...!)

Happpy Thanksgiving Weekend to all! -Olaf

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's). In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm. I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room! Full Bar. Please check your coat.
