Salsa Bachata Thursdays at Alhambra Palace bring Chicago's West Loop a two-room weekly social inside an opulent Mediterranean-themed restaurant and event venue. The main floor runs salsa, mambo, cha cha, and cumbia while a dedicated bachata room takes over the second floor, with resident DJs and salsa and bachata classes starting at 8pm. The night is a fixture of the Chicago Latin scene, blending a sit-down dinner atmosphere with a late social that runs past 1am, drawing a friendly mix of regulars and newcomers every Thursday.
