Opal Lounge

Sure my experience is a bit old but here’s my opal lounge story:
december 28, 2004, and i have no plans for new years! that being both unbelievable and outrageous, i called a friend who had bought tickets to the opal lounge’s «private party». 80 bucks would buy me entry, free drinks until midnight, champagne toast, and appetizers in a cool little lounge amongst friends. what 80 bucks actually bought me was an elbowing fist-​fight to the bar to get as many drinks as humanly possible before midnight, a card table with one veggie platter, a quesadilla cut into tiny pieces and pigs in blankets, a TINY dance floor that no one danced on because they were busy climbing over each other to get drinks, and a DELAYED midnight countdown.
oh opal lounge.

I’m not entirely sure but I think this place used to be Emily’s? I could be completely wrong but that’s beside the point. This is a decent place. Nothing too special. Come here with friends, it is defiantely not a aplce to go by yourself. The drinks are actually very good but both they and the beer can be pretty expensive.

unreliable is key — sometimes they do m&ms on wednesdays, sometimes they don’t. if you’re in the area, try it out. but don’t go out of your way, because you might be disappointed. also, get there early — if you get there at 5:30/6:00 they are all booked up for the night.

If you ever work late on a tuesday or a wednesday and you just want to go relax and have fun, this is the place to do it. ON tuesday and wednesday night they feature a $ 5.00 manicure and a $ 7.00 Martini I believe until 10:00pm. SO RELAXING and the manicure’s good too.
