We welcome back everyone this Thursday, for night #2 of Club Caribé! DJ Hernan will be in the house, and the party will be hopping! If you hadn't heard already, something like 400-450 people made it to the opening. Fortunately we'll be much more set to handle that many people this week, so we hope you'll join us again if you were there last week, or that you'll come check it out if weren't.

Bring a Friend For Free: 2 for 1 promotion this week. RSVP Here »

A few notes for this week:
- $10 cover, but click above to get the 2 for 1 discount (i.e. $5 each)
- The beginner "Salsa for Gringos" lesson will be taught again this week. Forthcoming we are organizing regular beginner and intermediate drop-in lessons.
- More food this week! Plus a faster bar and coat check.
- Bigger space, so no line to get in.
- Parking: if the hotel lot is full, the hotel has an agreement with Trader Joe's, so there is plenty of additional parking there.

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.
