Three-Dollar-Thursday hits the spot at Babio's

Last Thursday, some friends decided they wanted to try something a little different. Originally we had discussed checking out a new lounge/club on Saturday. A new gay oriented club, which opened last May, had been a place we had yet to discover. But on Thursday, my friends got an itch to try it out, and boy were we surprised. Babio's Eat Drink Dance, located at 527 West Hildebrand, turned out to be a good choice for us to get together. Don't get me wrong, I love my bartenders at Pegasus, Sparky's and Annex, but this hidden gem we stumbled upon Thursday captured my heart with its ambience. The part of the lounge pictured above reminded me of The Cat House inside The Luxor in Las Vegas.

Not only was I instantly impressed with the whole vibe of the club, but I was quickly greeted by my friend Brian Espinoza, who also happens to be the club promoter. I think I've found my new Thrusday night hangout. And its Three-Dollar-Thursdays....wells and shots for three bucks! It's three-in-one! That's the reason for the name (eat drink dance). There are drinks, there's a dance floor, and YES! They serve food too. Although I didn't order anything to eat that night, the menu looked good.

I used to leave the bars at the strip only to see people stumbling across the street to eat at Luther's. Why wait til you're that drunk to grab a bite, when you can easily have something to eat with your beverage of choice at Babio's. If you don't want to eat at the bar or sit at the cute lounge area with your food, take it out to their lush patio area out back. What a great place to hangout. The lighting just happens to be in all the right places, and the plant life lining the fence around the bar gives you that "having a drink in the cabana" feeling.

You can't just take my word for it. You have to go out and experience Babio's Eat Drink Dance for yourself. If you're afraid of going alone, contact me on Facebook and let me know. I'll gladly meet you there for $3 Thursdays or any given Sunday. I'll probably make any excuse to go there. See ya at Babio's!

  2. Paula, I seldom venture out of the strip, but I do. Often if I do, it's only to support local artists/friends. As much as I enjoy drinking, without a driver, trying new places isn't very wise for me, so the strip is where I'm comfortable, and most convenient place for me to go.
