Ever since Pop’s reopened with an entertainment license last year, I for one have been spending a lot more of my nightlife hours on the eastern end of 24th Street enjoying mellow happy-hour DJ sets, full-on dance parties and even live bands.
Now, nearby cafe Sugarlump is getting in on the fun. Capp Street Crap reports:
The 24th Street cafe is reinventing itself — in the evenings, at least. Starting last week, Sugarlump began having nightly beer and wine happy hour nightly from 7 to 8 p.m.
Co-owner and friend of Capp Street Crap Martin Rapalski said he has also lined up the first of what will grow to a week long roster of DJs spinning from the start of happy hour until 10 p.m.
Think fewer lattes and laptops, more lounge.
“We’re hoping it’ll take off as an alternative to the bar scene,” he said.
In addition, Sugarlump is revamping its beer and wine lists – the craft beer selection will all be in cans and priced low – as well as turning the lights down in the evenings and adding votives, Rapalski said. Bad news for the Internet addicted; in the interest of face-to-face conversation, Wi-Fi will be shut off at 7 p.m.
They’re looking for more DJs if you’re interested, as well as new food popups to replace the departed Sous Beurre Kitchen. Read on.
Hard to say that closing at 10pm is really helping the nightlife scene
How does this fit in with Calle 24′s vision?
