Bar Takeover: Park & Rec

YAAAAASSSSSSSS! San Diego Pride has come and gone and I survived it. This Pride was particularly special because I got to spend it with my BFF and also raise money for a great cause. Park & Rec let us take over their back bar in partnership with Ilegal Mezcal to raise money for AIDS Foundation. Arlene and I have both known people who have been affected by this epidemic so it made deciding on the charity easy. It was a great time and heart warming to see our friends and fellow cocktail connoisseurs come out to support. In an industry and festival where things can seem like only a good time it’s important to remember to include the occasional humanitarian good deeds. With a light twist of the arm Arlene and I will be doing something for the holidays as well so stay tuned to find out which bar is next!
