Noche de Despecho - Especial Harry Potter

Casa de Julia brings back Noche de Despecho on Thursday, October 29, from 7 PM to 10 PM in Downtown Phoenix. This is the restaurant's signature night—a room full of Latin heart-wrenching anthems and interactive karaoke, built around singing, crying, and toasting to the ones who got away. For this edition, they're leaning into the Halloween season with a Harry Potter theme, inviting guests to "cast a spell on heartbreak" with potion-inspired cocktails and a Harry Potter dress code. The best costume of the night wins $100.

If you've been before, you know the drill: the music is the center of the night, and the whole room is encouraged to sing along. The Harry Potter layer adds a bit of costume fun to the mix, so it's as much about dressing up as it is about the karaoke. Between the Latin anthems and the potion cocktails, it's a specific kind of night—part singing session, part wake for old heartbreaks, with a wizarding twist for the holiday.

Tickets are $20 per person and include a welcome appetizer, with food and drinks from the menu sold separately. There's a strict limit of 30 tickets, so it's a small crowd. Keep in mind that buying a ticket doesn't reserve a table; you'll need to call the restaurant afterward to confirm your spot and the number of people at your table. All sales are final.

Casa de Julia Restaurant Bar is at 45 West Jefferson Street, Suite M, in Downtown Phoenix. The night runs from 7 PM to 10 PM on Thursday, October 29.
