Alhambra Palace is an institute of Middle Eastern fine dining and entertainment that came together after the owner built his authentic collection of art and artifacts to furnish the establishment.

It’s not all cheap beer and baseball games.

Expand your horizons without ever leaving the comfort of your favorite Wrigleyville bar.
