Beacon Lounge

Don't forget the Wild Berry Mojito made with fresh black, blue and red raspberries. Delicious! No worries boys, about looking too fru-fru! Beacon Lounge serves Yuengling, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sam Adams, Guinness and your everyday Miller Light ON TAP!

Drink Specials at the Beacon Lounge:
$5 Margaritas
$5 Martinis (martini flavors include~ peach, purpletini, cosmo, appletini, lemon drop, watermelon, chocolate)

15 Ria
15 Ria's decor resembles a high class retro-style nightclub, with a dark bar, fireplace and generous silk drapery covering the walls from floor to ceiling, creating an enticing ambiance. While 15 Ria is one of the smaller Boutique Hotels we will visit tonight, the main reason you want to experience 15 Ria is for its amazingly imaginative drinks. Try the "Tini'Tinis" or the "Mini Manhattan" where you will be served an 8oz shaker and a 3 oz martini glass so you can continue pouring your own libation Or try the high-octane "Marga-ria" or the delicious Blueberry Smash made with citrus rum and fresh blueberries garnished with fresh mint For you men, maybe you'd like the "small batch bourbon flight" which includes one-ounce tastings of several elite bourbons. 15 Ria also offers delicious food (at your own expense).

Helix Lounge
We will visit this hip and ultra modern lounge! Hop into the spotlight of the Hotel Helix, where colorful décor and Hollywood style set the stage for a luxurious stay that’s anything but ordinary. Uniquely-styled carpeting and black-and-white glamour shots add a shimmer and shine to our playful atmosphere. Take a moment to catch your breath and put on your dancing shoes.

Specials At Helix:
$8 Pajama Party Martinis

Andalu
We'll wander into this Moroccan-themed haven where Quentin Tarantino has a VIP card! Here, DJs spin jazzy, soulful and deep house music and often live musicians play with the DJs - usually sax, flutes and/or percussion. This is a very sophisticated, European based lounge with Moroccan decor that features deep red walls, private booths and ornate pillows. We'll spend the part of the evening mingling and dancing at this sensational club.

This is going to be a spectacular night, so don't miss out!
