3 Fires Lounge is hosting an event tonight from 10 p.m. to midnight where you can sample the the great flavor of Ciroc Ultra Premium Vodka in six of their specialty cocktails.
Per Wikipedia: "Ciroc is a brand of distilled beverage manufactured in France. It is claimed by the drink's promoters that it distinguished from other vodkas by the fact that it is derived from grapes, in contrast to corn, sorghum, rye, wheat, or potatoes that are more commonly used. Because the base product is a fruit, it may be more properly described as an eau de vie, but is marketed as vodka instead.
"The grapes used for Cîroc vodka are "snap frost" grapes; Mauzac Blanc from the Gaillac region of France, and Ugni Blanc from the Cognac region. The juice extracted from these grapes is cold fermented." Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%AEroc
But really, the takeaway is free drinks tonight at 10 p.m. tonight at 3 Fires Lounge.
Restaurant Reviews:
Table 260: Do a 180 from Table 260 Downtown - Let's be blunt. At Table 260 Downtown, there was no soul and, it turns out, hardly any food. The only fusion we encountered was the melding of lethargy and apathy and a pinch of ennui. Instead, all we can report is that Table 260 Downtown is a restaurant in a free fall, with practically no apparent effort to be a viable business, let alone a proud practitioner of soul food. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.Orphan Breakfast House: Something familiar - Service by the black-garbed waiters and waitresses is prompt. It takes even less time to consume than it does to wait. A principal reason the service is so fast is because most of the dishes are similar. Greg Lucas in the Sac News and Review.
Restaurant News:Earlier: New Orphan badly needs to adopt the idea of flavor - This is a place that specializes in breakfast and the food just doesn't cut it, given the competition all over town. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
Please indulge me for this one post.
As regular readers of this site know, I'm friends with the people who run Girls on the Grid (a great Web site for women who work, live or play on the grid).
They're running a contest to determine who the most eligible bachelor on the grid is. Voting ends this Friday.
I'd like to ask you to vote for Shawn Callahan. (I nominated him and am trying to make sure he gets into the top 10.)
Callahan is a partner at Frontline Strategies, where he does work for a non-partisan, not-for-profit charitable organization committed to supporting the brave men and women of our Armed Forces. He's also working for Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson's strong mayor initiative.
He's in his early 30s, super athletic and is one of the most charitable people I know. He ran the Boston marathon, raising more than $20,000 for ALS in honor of his uncle, plays basketball regularly and has a little brother from the Big Brother, Big Sister program.
He is an all around great guy.
Please take the time to click here and vote for him.
Centro is offering to roll the dice to decide who picks up your food tab. Odds, Centro pays. Even, you pay. Seems like a good way to let fate decide who should pay your food bill.
Now the restrictions. Food only, limit of $20 per person, valid for parties of six or less after 5 p.m. on Tuesdays and one roll per table. Drinks not included.
So here's how you can make the most of your money. Head there after work, take advantage of their happy hour for drinks (3 to 6 p.m.), couple this with Paragary restaurant group's gift cards ($80 for $100 worth of gift cards at Costco), and you'll be paying either 80 percent of your food tab or zero.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
