Lodged in a Nob Hill apartment building, this players-club lounge features faux-croc grandfather chairs, convertible poker tables, a billiards room, and a candelabra'd dining room serving up the likes of fondue, ham-fortified escargot, and Maine lobster pot pie. Get there in style with their champagne-colored Town Car, plated "2LECLUB" -- then return home in a taxi plated "2THEPITISHAREWITHGUYIFOUNDONCRAIGSLIST".
Brazen sexuality meets naked admiration as burlesque goddesses like Miss Coconuts, Bunny Pistol, and Ariyana le Fay shimmy their stuff to the dulcet tones of Destroyer, a KISS tribute band so accomplished, they once opened for the actual KISS. Or was it KISS that opened for them?
Artsy casu-wear kings Distilled have just released a formal-ish line that includes hooded outerwear, polos with slim, button-down collars, charcoal or sky seersucker suits, a plaid dress shirt with a tuxedo ruffle, and a short-sleever with a pleated bib -- so get out there, and start nursing.
Duck in for a quick sip at this elegant-modern wine/small-plates lounge, decked out with low leather chairs and glass cocktail tables. The focus is on Cali wines, but small-production internationals are also available by the bottle, 1/2 bottle, glass, and "1/2 glass" (i.e., your waiter has an unstoppable drinking problem).
Attention Chicagoans/the guy who flies there to work the Johnson account: Thrillist Chicago is coming very very soon, in all its big-swinging wondrousness.
