Hola Salseros!
By now we hope you've heard...
Club Caribé Grand Opening Tonight!
Home page »
Google Map »
Myself, the staff, and entertainers are VERY EXCITED as tonight rolls nearer!
A few notes for those coming tonight if you would indulge me for a second:
- The hotel parking garage is on the left behind the hotel as you enter the premises. Please do not park in the Trader Joe/Starbucks lot as we do not know yet what the relation is, vis-a-vis towing. If the garage fills up, back streets may be a better option.
- As always, please support the bar! SALSEROS, WE NEED TO IMPRESS! Make us proud. This is what will determine if the hotel will be eager to host us for the future in this great space. There will be some special non-alcoholic drinks and such, in addition to the full bar. (No sneaking in water, please... It's a free night after all.)
- Please dress "smart"! This is a classy place in a nice hotel with a recent $28M renovation. We won't have a dress code per se, but again, make us proud.
- There will be a free coat check. We will have a full house so please check your coats so we don't have a sea of them in this nice space. Also, times are tough--the staff will appreciate your gratuity if you can spare.
- If you would like to book a room at the hotel that night, just call the front desk, mention the SalsaBoston party, and you should get the special $109 rate. The hotel can be reached at (617) 492-7777.
See you there!
Thursday, January 29
at the Courtyard Marriott/Cambridge
777 Memorial Drive

ALL AGES WELCOME

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.
