The Boudoir:
You enter a curtained room and are handed a mystery concoction, with no hesitation you take and sip and anticipation turns to excitement as Psychedic rock music floats through the rafters. You are no longer in Edmonton, no longer yourself, you're going deep down the rabbit hole and it feels amazing. What other mysteries will be discovered in the Boudoir?
The Grindstone:
You leave the boudoir thirsty for more or you were too timid for its tempting appeal so you head to the Grindstone where the Sweat Crew is ready. The house music calls you in but the smiling faces and sexy sillioutes are the real draw. What awaits in the theatre if the bar is like this, will the masked rabbit from the Boudoir be on the dance floor? Only time will tell and the evening has just begun so you venture inside. This feels like a night that won't be forgotten unless you get lost down the rabbit hole.
9 pm - 2 am
