This second outpost features the same hard-partying motif as the East Village original (stripper pole, vintage b&w rocker photos, wall-mounted guitars), but they've augmented the menu with additions like a turkey dog called "The Yardbirds", BBQ wings, and frozen treats, because nothing says merciless rocking like "Diana's Chocolate Frozen Bananas".

Admission gets you a souvenir tasting glass and 12 beer tickets to sample from among 40+ breweries, repping everywhere from the Midwest (Piece, Goose Island, Three Floyds, Lakefront, etc), to Alaska's Glacier Brewhouse, to New York's Schmaltz, proud creators of "Jewbelation Twelve", "Rejewvenator", and "Genesis Ale", which critics agree "reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart".

Jake's consolidating this deep-discount extravaganza into one location, with 70-90% off lines like Trovata, Oliver Spencer, and Rogues Gallery, plus denim from Earnest Sewn and Nudie, Swedish selvage you're instructed not to wash for six months (so twice as frequently as usual).

This 'Cago blog posts exclusive interviews, recent performance vids (Lupe's Halloween show at The Congress, Kidz In The Hall freestyling into "Swagga Like Chi" at The Abbey Pub), and track leaks/downloads like Q-Tip's "Shaka" spliced w/ Obama snippets, and Kanye's upcoming single "RoboCop" ("Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the Grammys").

If you've already signed up for Thrillist Las Vegas, you know about Lamborghini-mashing motor ranches, manhole-sized steaks, and a blackjack/roulette pit staffed exclusively by lingerie'd dealers. If you haven't, surely this month's Cat Fancy is totally awesome.
