Bubble Lounge Floats Over to The Garter ~ TONIGHT! ~ Venice

3:45 PM PST on January 28, 2009

The Garter ~ 2536 Lincoln Blvd., Venice, CA  90291 ~ (310) -577-3741

Bubble Lounge ~ Every Wednesday @ 10PM

We don't always get L.A. The Westside is full of gay merrymakers and their cool-as-fuck, hatin'-on-Prop-8-type friends, but other than a couple of scary corners we won't direct you to, there are no great gay parties on the Westside. That's why we love Bubble Lounge, which is like The Abbey gone shoreline. While gay gals and their pals mingle, we pick up the straight stragglers at this 1940's-tinged bash, and seemingly everyone gets laid very direclty while laughing over how rad it all is.

But we digress, tonight kicks off Bubble Lounge's move over to The Garter, which is the revamped and fabulous space occupying The Red Garter's body. The party's feet have gotten too happy, and a bigger dance-floor was required.  The chill, funtastic vibe of The Garter should go well with the friendly ladies and gents we've come to call friends at Bubble Lounge. We'll be there tonight starting at 10PM, cuz we hear there's free food to go with anything else we might choose to nibble on tonight.
