Selam Lounge

Getting a twofer deal out of something is always great, whether it's the two Twix bars, or a gf who also likes girls...and Twix! Now giving you African grub in the club, Selam Lounge.Selam's revamped the former Moya with a redecked downstairs night lounge w/ a spacious get-down floor and Mad Hatter-esque red velvet chairs, plus an upstairs rocking chain-hung, electrical-tape-framed photos and tables painted w/ stencil-lettered booze types at which to eat Ethiopian-Eritrean-East African belly-fills, purported to be "nothing weird, just made differently", just like Sloth from the Goonies. Actually, that dude is mad weird. Food starts w/ halal meat sambusa (dough shells stuffed w/ minced beef) and the lamb sauce/diced tomatoes/injera bites/onion/jalapeño Fit-Fit, then moves to entrees like Doro (thick/spicy chicken stew w/ a hard-boiled egg garnish), the chili-like, minced raw beef Kitfo w/ berbera spices, and the cube-cut, onion/tomato/garlic/pepper-sauteed Tilapia Tibbs, which you should show some respect to, and call "MISTER!". Drinkage's handled by 13 wines, three taps including 420, 12 bottles, plus house cocktails like the vodka/orange liqueur/lime juice "Boats on the Beach", and the vodka/lemonade/Cointreau/raspberry liqueur "Startini", which you won't be able to help but Jones for.Be there every Wednesday night for free-before-midnight entry, hookah specials, and drink deals like $3 beer and $3 wells, and on Friday nights for $4 Blue MFs -- exactly what you'll be when your gf decides she likes two things, and they're both named Candy.
