Red Bull and Vodkas?

My friend Kelsey is the best.  She has an amazing connection with the Social Planner at Red Bull (Ms. Red Bull), and kindly invited me along to their Flugtag Team announcements at the Phoenix Hotel.  I had never been to the hotel before - it's insane.  The cocktail hour was outside around the pool.  There was a bar (drinks for free!) and a lovely spread of yummy, yummy snacks.

A little Table Top fun!

It was a little chilly, which means everyone drank more "to warm up."  Eventually we realized it was EIGHT O'CLOCK and we hadn't eaten dinner.  Kelsey's friend then invited us to join her for dinner at Chambers restaurant inside the hotel.  The restaurant/bar area inside is full of old albums.  It was fun to go through them and read all the old titles.  All the tables are wooden, with low lighting, and a really neat vibe.

We sat at the table to the right.  SO much fun!

Because we all had a little too much to drink, we also ordered a little too much to eat.  Ms. Red Bull ordered some truffle dip (phenom, comes with truffle mushroom dip and waffle chips), ceviche, and some Crisp Polenta (which was also yummy for those veggie eaters out there). Pass on the ceviche, its hard to eat with the little chips and you don't even get that much in an order.

Ceviche and Small Chips - Skip it

Truffle Dip! Still makes my mouth drool...

Kels and I decided to split the Crab Corn Chowder and Chambers Burger.  Both are fantastic.  The burger is HUGE and the fries are amazing.  The  Chowder seems like a small helping but its so rich you almost can't finish all of it.  Wash it all down with a Lagunitas IPA and call it a night!  (Disclaimer - there was alcohol involved so the food tasted especially good!)

Chambers Burger - You won't finish it!

Tourist Tip: Even if you aren't hungry, come here for a drink.  Cool vibe and PACKED on a Thursday!  I heard they also have pretty good cocktails...I was at a Red Bull party so my choices were limited.
