TATTOOED LADIES' NIGHT AT NIGHTROCKER LIVEnew

Roland “Nightrocker” Fuentes offers the least ladylike “ladies’ night” I’ve ever seen. For girls who just wanna have fun — and by fun I mean slamming 50-cent tequila shots, watching half-naked dancers waggle their tits, and listening to rap-rock — the newly revamped Nightrocker Live offers good times in excess. If you equate “ladies’ night” with cheap cosmos and low-cal appetizers, however, this ain’t the place for you.

Value Vino: Malbec and Manifest Destinynew

Argentina has done such a thorough job of coopting malbec, that you'd think the grape to be autochthonous. (I have always wanted to use this word, basically a fancy form of "indigenous.")

Value Vino: Sipping Spainnew

The Spanish economy is in the tank these days. A little mercy wine buying accordingly might be in order — and the notion may be an easier sell than a recent suggestion to do the same for Greece.
