The Palace Restaurant and Saloon

The Palace is the place to go for late-night music. Adjacent to Burro Alley, in the city's former Red Light District, it has a rich history. The circa 1900 former saloon is built on the site where the legendary Doña Tule, the cigar-smoking 'Gambling Queen of Santa Fe,' once held forth. These days the Palace's bar is a hot spot for late night partiers. Music rocks the flocked-velvet walls five nights a week. Wednesday is for acoustic music, country and blues; Thursdays karaoke takes center stage and the place is often packed. Santa Feans love their karaoke. Fridays and Saturdays are DJs and VJs and live music from reggae to rock. This is definitely a dancing crowd. On the last Wednesday of the month 'Trash Disco' is on tap. Hungry after all that dancing? The kitchen is open until one in the morning.
