Barrio's back for one night, and the Bookstore Bar's back for good

Seattle Event of the Week
For one night only -- Friday, March 7th -- Bellevue's Barrio is popping up at Cast Iron Studios, the event space it used to call home. Things start at 5pm with old standbys and new eats options like nachos and pork carnitas. They'll also be pouring margaritas and sangria all night, so call 206.838.3853 for a reservation, like, now!

Saturday, March 8th, 2pm: Ballard's nano-iest brewery, Populuxe, is turning one, so in addition to their usual lawn game-style entertainment, they've got a shton of live music, burgers from Happy Grillmore, and... um, more.

Ongoing: The Bookstore Bar and Cafe, and its menu, are completely new, plus they're still selling all their books for $5, leaving you more than enough cash for a plate full of their $1 late-night happy hour oysters.
