Cheap Drinks at a Cool Downtown Bar..

FYI - Groupon has an offer for Vanguard Lounge where you can get $20 of drinks for $10 and today they have 25% off that price (with a specific code, but its on the homepage).

I got one for $8, HOWEVER it expires in April & had to cancel it. (my trip is not till mid summer)

Vanguard is a cool little bar between the FSE and El Co. I stopped by a few years ago right as they opened, had a drink and good chat with the bartender. It has a good vibe w/ a live DJ playing house music. Later that night walking back from El CO, it was packed with a younger crowd.

Good way to start the evening if you need a quick get away from the smoky casinos for a bit.

marko..

thx for the tip! if all goes well I will b there 3/30 -4/5. is there a cover charge at that joint?

Not when I was there. Then again, it was early, around 5 or 6 pm and they had just opened. I assumed as the night gets going, they would have one.
