A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Cinco de Drinko + Hair of the Dog = Two-for-one party

The Saddle Cantina continues its monthly Cinco de Drinko tradition with half-price drinks during September 5. Then at midnight, sibling establishment The Rickshaw starts its inaugural Hair of the Dog party, which will run all September 6 with the same half-off deal. They should be billing this as two nights of partying for the price of one.

Also related to The Saddle Cantina / The Rickshaw:

- That 15 percent surcharge applied during The Olympics is no more. While ingredients and logistics are admittedly more expensive these days, it seemed a risky move to disgruntle the regular crowd, already depleted by visa issues, given the number of alternative places - Blue Frog, Union, Luga’s Villa, Let’s Burger, etc - that have been opening up.

- Expect the owners to soon open a burrito stand in Nali Studio, facing the streets and just a few doors down from Ciro’s Pomodoro.

    Attention everyone!

    It’s time to wake from your post-Olympics slumber and get out there and have some fun! Ok…so maybe there will be no hope of an Evander Holyfield or Cindy Crawford sighting tomorrow night but we’ve got to back into our normal rhythm.

    Cinco de Drinko is on! Vegas, Baby, Vegas!

    @ LaRusso,

    Is it just me or is fate telling us something by having these two parties fall on a Friday and a Saturday?

    Cheers, Boyce
