We are trying out a new potential venue for Drinking Skeptically this Friday night.
This in not replacing the current meetup at The Federal, but we have been looking for something more accommodating for a large group that wants to meet and talk to each other. And so this is an exploratory outing to see if this would work for the future.

The proposed venue is the Crystal View Lounge on top of the Burbank Holiday Inn.

The lounge has tons of space, is not loud or loaded with big screen TVs, plenty of seating AND standing room, great views, and a piano if one is so inclined. Food can be ordered until 9:30pm.
Food orders can take time, as they use the hotel kitchen, and the order has to brought to the lounge. So keep that in mind. Only an issue with larger groups.

I have been to this venue on 4 separate Friday nights, and each time, it was virtually empty. The bartender says that is normal because most of their clients are business travelers during the week.

If you are planning on coming out to this meet up, please RSVP. The bartender is alone on Friday, but can get more help with warning.

The hotel has parking for a fee, but the bank parking lot across the street is available, as well as street parking.

The Burbank Holiday Inn has two towers. The Lounge in the Tower closest to the 5 freeway (By First Street). Entrance is on Angelino.

I myself won't be there until 7:30pm, but I think others will get there a bit earlier.
This a no host event.
