One of the 101 most popular reasons to celebrate being single includes the advantages of being unattached when you’re partying in pubs and nightclubs. Whether it’s Happy Hour, Ladie’s Night or a free drink for singing karaoke, there are more places you can imagine where the booze is flowing freely.
It’s also amazing to learn how many women have this thing down to a science. Even if they don’t admit to mooching off of their friends and favorite bartender, they’re organized right down to the hors-doeuvres at wine tastings. Just how easy is it? Here’s Miranda’s story:
My girlfriends and I have a weekly calendar, or “party-time schedule”, as we prefer to call it. Monday nights are specifically for ridding our woes of the typical manic Monday at the office. Jordan’s Harbour Pub gets the evening started with free goodies on the buffet and complimentary flute of wine. For just us girls, it has to be pink on Mondays, so the zinfandel is perfect.
Skipping to Wednesdays, our favorite karaoke spot is Mandy’s, where the free cocktails keep flowing for the one who is the most popular singer. If the audience keeps voting for that singer, one can have all the imported beer or wine of their choice!
On Thursday nights we head out to Moe’s Sports Bar, where it’s Ladie’s Night. Ladies get in free and the first drink is on the house. Everyone is always checking out ring fingers, even though that really doesn’t matter anymore. Every other Thursday, they offer free salsa lessons, where the main room cuts loose and gets wild.
Friday’s is a must at Club 19. They have a great deejay and the girls get two free drinks before 10pm, plus no cover charge for ladies. If we’re partying into the weekend, Shannanigan’s downtown offers a “Girl Classic Card”, where ladies can drink free Long Island Tea’s from 9:30pm and on into the night on Saturday nights and also get 20% off anything on the menu. Cheers! . . . Miranda
There are some who contest the whole principle behind Ladie’s Night. If women can receive a free drink, many men believe they should have the same benefit. One man actually filed a lawsuit against several night spots promoting Ladie’s Night. An attorney in Manhattan, he states that an establishment that offers Ladie’s Night enticements, violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection under the law. His class action suit accuses several NYC clubs, such as the Copacabana, Sol and the China Club of “invidious discrimination” against men in their policies for admitting patrons.
This is one man’s fight over clubs who, in his words, “discriminate against men”.
It will be interesting to see if he wins his case and no, if you’re wondering, we don’t know if he’s just ugly and can’t get a date.
Happy Holidays and celebrate responsibly! . . . Single 101
