The Vintage Room
The Vintage Room is one of our favorites around Duxton, thanks to its cute but not prissy vibe. Think cushy sofas, fuzzy rugs, vintage bric-a-brac, dainty French bites and girly-girl drinks list. As if all that wasn’t enough, they also make free Bellinis for ladies on Thursday nights, which makes it all the more difficult to resist popping by after work to hang out. (What? Us clichéd?)
Pangaea
If you’re often stuck at work and keep missing regular happy hours, Pangaea‘s weekly late night hip hop and trap party should make your trudge home a little lighter. From midnight, ladies get as many signature Pangini cocktails as they want for an hour. Although men have to pay $30 (the only cover charge in this list), they get in on the fun, too, with all-you-can-drink housepours and beers for the same duration.
Kyō
Newcomer Kyō’s really coming into its own with its slick parties and great guest DJs. But they’ve not too cool for a ladies’ night, apparently, and a pretty formulaic one at that: Complimentary vodka cranberry? Check. Hip hop and R&B soundtrack? Check. Though it’s not exactly cutting edge, it’s still one of the best ladies’ nights in town, because the crowd sure knows how to have fun. Come early for their fantastic Japanese bar bites.
Idle
If bumping and grinding to trashy club remixes is not your thing, Idle’s ladies’ night is a pretty good alternative. In-the-know DJs like Kentaro Taniguchi from the Mugic crew and the laidback guys from Kilowatt Soundsystem make this more a music scene get-together than an exploitative scheme to get girls maximally wasted. For free flow drinks, they’ve stuck to the traditional lychee martini. Oh well—we can’t have it all. Yet.
83
Slightly wacky Club Street watering hole 83 has a 1-for-1 on selected cocktails ($15) on Wednesday nights, and their Absolut Mandarin-spiked “Vitamin C” cocktails are $30 for four. We hear they even have mocktails ($10) for those who can’t hold their alcohol but don’t want to feel too left out.
