Bottleneck + Airstream = Dinner

Next Saturday ( 10/13/07, 6 - 9 PM) the Bottleneck Lounge on Madison will host a seemingly improbable event: an Airstream trailer that doubles as a mobile restaurant.

Both the Stranger and the P-I approve. Will you?

And will the brakes hold on the hill, or will you have to chase your dinner down to Madison Park?

Local Madison Street Bars to patronize

Flyer below (click on it for legible version) is by request of the Bottleneck Lounge. Here are more details.

And to give equal time to the "competition", did you know that the (soon to be redeveloped) Twilight Exit was voted "Best Dive Bar of 2006"?

And note that you can VOTE in the 2007 poll!

Six Flags Over Madison

The Bottleneck Lounge has found a clever way to advertize the presence of their cute little bar on Madison: a series of themed events which can be publicized via large flags hung above the door.

Pride events sported a Rainbow flag, South African wine evenings gave us a South African Flag.

Next event:

Saturday July 28th: Pirate Night!

Avast ye landlubbers! Abandon your post on July 28th and make quick to The BottleNeck Lounge for our first annual Pirate Party. (click here for details).

And now, a challenge for all of you Vexillologists: think of other suitable events to celebrate at the Bottleneck that can be celebrated with flags that are easily obtained (or you can supply) and E-mail info@bottlenecklounge.com with your ideas. Who knows, there might even be a free drink in it for you!

BTW, talking of Pirates: my choice of Pirate Song is "Pirate Jenny" , from The Threepenny Opera by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, which ends so poignantly:

Then they'll pile up the bodies
And I'll say,
"That'll learn ya!"

(here's a recording by Nina Simone)

(and if I was asked to suggest a local band to perform it I'd suggest The Cutters)
