Alhambra Palace Restaurant

"With some 1,500 guests expected to attend, this Halloween party, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Friday, October 25, is perhaps the city’s largest. The already over-the-top venue is turned into a haunted mansion with two rooms of music along with multiple bars, VIP balcony, and a costume contest with $1,000 in prizes. Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased here." - Lisa Shames, Eater Staff

"This Middle Eastern-themed clubstaurant in the West Loop may belong in a grown-up version of Epcot, but it works well for big (and small) groups looking for dinner, entertainment, and a little dancing all in one. Show up after 8pm on weekends for huge kabob platters piled high with rice and mezze accompanied by belly dances and variety shows. An hour or two later, things really ramp up once the multi-level main dining room turns into a dance party complete with strobe lights and a DJ." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen

"Find a mix of Middle Eastern and African flavors at this cavernous Randolph Street space that was inspired by Moorish architecture. There are several configurations to ensure couples have the best space for their party." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"What To Expect: Before 8pm, this massive Middle Eastern-themed clubstaurant in the West Loop is as sleepy as it is filled with Moorish decor. But at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, dinner comes with a side of belly dances and variety shows. An hour or two later, the multi-level main dining room turns into a dance party complete with strobe lights and a DJ. What’s Up With The Food: Expect decent mezze and huge kabob platters piled high with rice. The expensive cocktails are fine too, if a little watery. Verdict: Alhambra may belong in a grown-up version of Epcot, but it works well for big (and small) groups looking for dinner, entertainment, and some dancing all in one. " - veda kilaru, adrian kane
