INTRODUCING… VERSES!

In celebration of our 1 year anniversary at Arlene’s we’re trying something new: A head to head album battle between two of the biggest albums of the 1990s… that were released on the SAME DAY in September 25 years ago.

We’ll be spinning both Red Hot Chili Peppers Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Nirvana’s Nevermind, and we’ll let the crowd vote on what album takes the crown. But don’t worry- there’s more in store. We’ll have 90’s themed Vinyl DJ sets as well as a RECORD PLAYER GIVEAWAY, and finally… A CROWD PICK for our next album!

DOORS - 7PM
NEEDLE DROP - 8PM
CROWD VOTE & DJ SETS - 10PM
RECORD PLAYER GIVEAWAY - 10:30PM
CROWD PICK ALBUM - 10:45PM

Open to all! Bring your friends (21+ event).
