The Vick

Thanks to everyone who came out to Summit Park to check out Higher Gravity. That was a cozy place to hang out. They liked our group so much, they want us to check out their original location in Northside. We may do that at some point. And I want to say thanks to Deb and Jack making Sushi. How can a person hosting a meetup hope for better members than that?

Meanwhile....early fall, time to check out a rooftop venue.

The Vick (310 Straight St., 45219) 7:00 PM
The Vick is the rooftop lounge on the 7th floor of the recently opened Hotel Celare on the corner of Straight St. and Clifton Ave., right across the street from UC's main entrance and McMicken Hall. It looks like a great concept. They have garage doors that they can open to create an open air lounge.

They have been opened for less than a year, and they don't do wine tastings or flights (yet)
... but Matt, the food and beverage director is going to create a tasting for us. $15 for 3 wines, and he is working on a list of choices now. So this should be similar to what Higher Gravity did for us.

The Vick also has cocktails, beers, wines, a light bite menu - and views of UC and the neighborhood around it.

If you know this area, many of the UC frat houses line Clifton Ave. and it is walking distance to McMillan/Calhoun streets, so it is a safe area with people all over the place.

The new hotel looks amazing, and the rooftop bar experience should be a lot of fun. I hope everyone can make it!
