Up All Night: Espresso Martini Week

Upon a recent trip to Chili’s, my dear friend remarked, “Does it always come with three beans?” about the restaurant’s trendy caffeinated cocktail offering. To be honest, the beans make the beverage – so trust in these local drink domains to sling a “you espresso” to impresso. Big name bars the Flower Shop, Holiday on 7th, Kinda Tropical, Cavalier, Daydreamer, Kitty Cohen’s, Nickel City, Teddy’s Bar, the Treasury, Volstead, and Murray’s Tavern will offer special-edition espresso martinis all week – each purchase entering you in a chance to win an exclusive T-shirt. Nab one at Holiday’s kickoff event this Saturday, Dec. 7, where a vendor market complements cookies and Queer Vinyl Collective. – James Scott
