Viciously Thirsty

Vintage Lounge – February 19, 2009
Group Size ~ 80

Ambience – Home to the afterwork wine drinkers and some suits having stiff martinis, as the night wore on Vintage Lounge became a relaxing place to chill with ABC. The low leather couches were perfect for cradling those of us that tried the special chocolate strawberry martini!

Bottom Line – Beer and wine are definitely on the pricey side, and selection isn’t great for those going by the glass. Cocktails were strong and the hors d’oeuvres were delicious!

Cheers to – Flatbread pizzas! Sharing bottles of wine. Condom grams and Valentine’s candy. A huuuuuuuuuuge crowd!

Overall Rating


Ashley says…I liked the large space and the fact that the lounge area, bar and dining space were all separated. They had great service and it fit our Valentine-themed night very well!”

Leslie says…A large venue and definitely fun to relax on the cushy couches. I prefer my apps a little bigger and my wine a little cheaper, but overall Vintage was a blast!

Jessica says…Don’t know if they were really ready for our demanding crew. Overall good staff and attention, but PRICEY beers. The best deal is definitely splitting a bottle of wine among a few people. $7 for a Guiness? No thanks!

Up to no good

Union Oyster House – February 5, 2009
Group Size ~ 60

Ambience – Cozy, friendly and plenty of space to mingle with the group and make new friends.
There’s an upstairs that has a fun loft feel.

Bottom Line – Union has a bar menu that includes burgers, sandwiches and chowders…all of which looked and tasted good to us! Drinks and food moderately priced.

Cheers to - Our private room next to the bar. A lot of newbies. Bringing the club to America’s oldest restaurant!

Overall Rating


Ashley says… Ye olde Union Oyster House hath become a fere to me…I shalt continue to visit henceforth. The space allowest us to mix betwixt the club and other jolly pub goers. No pearls in mine oysters though, it was fortunate that I woreth mine own.

Leslie says… Plenty of space to hang out at the bar, the raw oyster bar if that’s your schtick or upstairs for a quieter meal. Love this place for its chowda and good drink list. Will definitely be back!

Jessica says… How did I not eat any oysters this night? The nachos were goooood though, as is the Fisherman’s beer that’s on tap.

BONUS: Oyster Facts vs. ABC Club Facts

The oyster is a bivalve mollusk that has existed since prehistoric times.
The ABC Club is a social group that has existed since 2008.

More than 100 species of oyster live in colonies on natural beds and banks that are to be found in most parts of the world.
More than 100 ABC Club Boston members live in the city and sleep in beds and get money from banks to pay for their ABC nights out. With the start of the NYC Chapter and plans to begin in other cites, ABC Club members will soon be found in most parts of the world.

Oysters eat day and night. They are highly prolific, and, if left undisturbed, would undoubtedly fill the seas!
ABC Club members drink and eat day and night. They too, are highly prolific, and, on every other Thursday, love to fill the bars!
