Recap: Girls Night Out | Vinalia

So me and my girlies headed out to Vinalia for the last night of Girls Night Out at Vinalia (33 Summer St, Downtown Crossing). The place was a little hard to find as it has two different addresses: 33 Summer St and 101 Arch St!

*Fab! Girl Tip enter on Summer Street; it is soooo much easier. And the promoters totally got the address wrong. If you want people to come to your stuff, get it right.

Anyways...after going up the escalator in this business type building, we ended up at the V. The place is actually really nice. If I worked in that building I would be sneaking down there all the time...with nice leather couches, big open space and a really inviting atmosphere.

The Girls Night Out section was on the other half of the bar; we just wandered over there, the organizers were busy ordering food and drink for themselves. Still, they offered a tasty treat with chocolate fountains with marshmallows along with strawberries and pound cake pieces on skewers. Yum!

We moved over to the bar area to take a seat on these very stylish but extremely uncomfortable bar stools to order some drinks...BUT there was no bartender. We waited for the waitress to place our order, which took forever, even though there weren’t a lot of people there. The drinks were okay... I ordered a dirty apple martini; it was refreshing but pretty much tasted like an apple martini without the marichino cherry.

The crowd was mostly over 40 so clearly this was not our scene.

After we finished our drink, we decided to move onto the next.

Fab! Recommendation: Vinalia is a decent place for a cocktail, but I would not go to another Girls Night Out there - it was kind of a waste.
