Beer pong — the sport that melds the heart-pounding thrill of Ping-Pong with the gut-wrenching taste of warm beer chugged from a plastic cup — arrives in tournament form at the Diamond Lounge. It\'s crawled out of suburban basements, stumbled out of frat parties reeking of smoke and cologne, and will

Portland, Ore., by way of Cleveland indie-pop band The Newspapers will land at Le Voyeur’s doorstep Saturday night. They read like a quartet well versed in idyllic melodies and catchy riffs with synthesizer quotes sprinkled about.

After locking my keys in my car at 2 a.m. in Woodinville, setting off a 12-hour journey via bus, foot and the astonishing kindness of friends, I wanted to relax. Usually, I’d just head for Doyle’s, down many shots of brown liquor and wind up boxing some stranger in a

Dear Joeseppi’s Italian Margarita, First, let me tell you that I’m a huge fan of yours. I love your Amaretto floater. And that splash of lime of yours adds freshness. As my friend, your pint glass container always seem to be there when needed — the perfect post-work cocktail, a warmer

After Labor Day Weekend, I felt all itchy and unkempt and disjointed like nothing really fit and nothing made sense and everything had this bitter washed-out pallor and sticky oily residue. Then my car broke down in front of Applebee’s at the Lakewood Towne Center, and once again, booze was

Cowgirl Up’s Bahama Mama will make you warm in places I am not allowed to mention. Served in a tall glass, this coconut rum concoction helps you forget it’s already becoming colder at night. Add a shot of the Captain, some pineapple and orange juice, and a splash of grenadine.

The Oakley sunglasses! The gangs of senior citizens walking side by side unaware of the speeding Rollerbladers! Oh, the chubby, blonde beach babes chain-smoking their Marbs! The honking!
