Bar Special: $5 MARGARITAS !
The shiny new margarita machine finally arrived and it rocks! Come taste barman Germain's special recipe from the steamy lowland jungles of Mexico. Or maybe the scorching deserts of Mexico. The land of Tequila, anyways.
The bar is now managed by a new bar/catering team. There are still tapas and empanadas, and also real entrees for dinner, plus an expanded menu of interesting drinks.
Class 8.30, included with admission Damian Thompson and Nelusha Amaladas: "Weight changes and changes of direction"
Resident DJ Tine will play this week. She has some cool new old music!
Your host every Friday is Tine. She got a nice new outfit too.
Special $5 drink! Still sorting out which drink exactly, but it will for sure make your valses spin faster. That is the Tango Lounge Guarantee. Also, great wines, tapas.
