The Endless Pour

Drinking at Air Conditioned Lounge is more than just good times to be had on the dance floor while listening to the best party jams around. You won’t be dropping too many dimes and nickels at this joint. So when you check out your wallet the next morning, instead of saying, “where did all my fives go?” you will be saying “how did I get so drunk?” If you pay attention to the AC Lounge website, Facebook page, or the Twitter posts, then you would have known that on Friday, August 6, 2010, AC Lounge had a hosted bar from 9-11. That’s right—All. You. Can. Drink—for TWO hours.

Sandiego2night comes out to play with AC Lounge every once in a while, and helps put on this event. After paying only $10 at the door, for two hours well drinks and Bud Light draft—in the classic red party cup, of course—will be poured endlessly for anyone sporting a wristband until 11.

AC Lounge’s most notorious DJ, Junior The DiscoPunk, took over the turn tables while hipsters from all over North Park and Normal Heights made fashionably late entrances to dabble in the hosted bar. While drinks were slinging from left and right, the bartenders were hustling to make sure that everyone was getting served as fast as the customers were drinking down their cocktails.

When the clock struck 11, the party was definitely not over. The Freon VIP room was partying up a storm with one of AC Lounge’s own, Jeff Ladman, hosted his wife’s birthday party. On the other side of the bar Friday’s Happy Hour bartendress, Belin Rosadillo, took a night off to hang with the regulars. It is not often that the staff of AC Lounge is seen on the other side of the bar, and if you weren’t there to buy your favorite bartender a shot then you missed out.

For those of you spending a fortune in downtown clubs racking up tabs up to nearly $100 for just a few rounds amongst “friends,” AC Lounge was treating our friends to VIP service with tabs consisting of zero dollars, too much fun, and drinks galore—now that is what I call priceless.

Air Conditioned Lounge tends to host awesome specials throughout each month, so if you unfortunately missed out on sandiego2night’s hosted bar last Friday, don’t you worry, there will be more unforgettable times to come.
