Upping Your Tennis Game. With Yoga.

Leagues are forming, your competitive juices are flowing. Time to hit... the yoga studio. This Mount Pleasant studio is capping off your training regimen with four sport-specific classes.

A Club Based Around Irish Whiskey
MEMBERS ONLY

A Club Based Around Irish Whiskey

Irish Whiskey Public House is starting a secret brown-liquor society, which right off the bat will get you food specials and invites to tastings. And if you sample 40 of their whiskey selections, they’ll hand you a bottle of whiskey and stamp your name on a barrel. As far as we know, there’s no handshake.

Saturday
A Rocky Mountain Oyster Extravaganza
BALLIN’

A Rocky Mountain Oyster Extravaganza

You’ve always had a pretty adventurous palate. It’s time to find out just how adventurous. This group of Montana transplants is putting together their annual bacchanal of beer, Crown Royal and... special Western delicacies. Otherwise known as calf testicles.

25 Restaurants Invade 9:30 Club

Nothing against the “Food Food” window, but sustenance isn’t usually your primary concern at 9:30 Club. Except Sunday, when 25 restaurants and trucks (Cork, Matchbox) spread out inside and outside the club, along with live music, a DJ set by Eric Hilton and a cocktail competition. Which you should totally try to score backstage passes for.

Ordering Up a Whole Animal for Dinner
POSTE MARK

Ordering Up a Whole Animal for Dinner

Your group roasts usually involve plenty of champagne and Don Rickles. At Poste, you can keep the champagne, but book their outdoor chef’s table and order up the animal of your choice—goat, spit-roasted turkey, whole fish—along with sides and dessert. You can still insult your friends.
