Grace, Beauty, and a subtle lisp

No, the title of this post has nothing to do with what I have to say.

Yet another long socialite night in the life of Brian. Drinks, afterparties, and a beautiful coincidence that ended in Gabe, ShyGI, and myself huddling over a plate of Chinese at 5 in the morning while the intended consumer of said Chinese laid passed out in his room. LOL Oh liquor... you so crazy.

It was a sight.

Anyway, todays update is about Ceviche Tapas Bar. And anyone who knows me knows I have nothing but high praises for this - one of my many favorite restaurants.

So, as Ive been there so many times I feel Ive gotten a decent feel for the entire Ceviche empire. They seem to only hire beautiful people, and the uniform is anything black. All black, with accents of black. The restaurant level has 2 areas, 1 inside and 1 outside. Both having so many tables in such close proximity that Ive been tempted to use a super straw to steal their delicious Sangria. The staff always seem to have an air of pretentiousness, and god help you if you get one of the foreign ones. They always seem to act as if serving you is a complete and utter interruption to their lives. (Especially this one blonde bitch. But I dont know her name.) Anyway, the only warmth youll get is from the Host/Hostess and the food runners. But in lieu of the Gucci ad going on all around, you are surely in for a great food experience.

The menu features a nauseating amount of both cold and caliente tapas ranging from reasonable to absurd. (My faves are Papas Bravadas, calamari, pollo al jarez, and the veal meatballs [the baby cow's suffering is palpable]) However, LET THIS BE KNOWN.

PROTIP: Most of the aforementioned tapas are available for a delectable price of $4 on 'Tapas Teusdays' where they feature a limited selection of tapas and $4 glasses of both white and red sangria. AKA GET CRUNK.

There is also a lovely bar level downstairs, accessible from both within the restaurant and outside where frequently Jazz bands jam out while you mingle with yet another sea of beautiful people. (Wear nice clothes, you bummy piece of trash.) The cocktails are strong, the music is good, and if youre lucky enough, the women are wearing short skirts. Or in my case the men wearing tight pants. (only good thing about hipsters.)

Located just a little ways from the bar block downtown you can continue the party long after the sangria kicks in! YAY!


So if you're looking for a atmosphere where you feel slightly unwelcome, and are willing to put up with that for a fantastic meal, check out Ceviches. Cuz I fuckin' said so.
