This Friday I am excited to kick off Memorial weekend  with a special wine & food pairing Happy Hour at my favorite club in my favorite city, EOS Lounge in Santa Barbara, CA. I’ve loved EOS (meaning the Greek goddess of dawn) ever since my friend Jeff Clark opened the upscale lounge & nightclub years ago, but it wasn’t till last year when I had the chance to visit Greece for the first time, spending four magical days in Mykonos, that I was able to come back and truly appreciate the detail that was put into the Greek inspired design and layout of this enchanting nightlife spot.

EOS has become a favorite of many over the years as the place in SB to enjoy a good cocktail, bottle service in a private booth or dancing the night away to music by local DJs. They also put on fun summer events. I even had my very first bikini fashion show on their patio for my eco swim line Memorial weekend two years ago!

And this summer food & wine lovers will be excited to find that EOS Lounge is bringing Happy Hour back with a special series of events “Epicurious”. This Friday May 24th, from 6-9pm EOS will be offering a special food & wine pairing on their beautiful patio, as well as their delicious signature cocktails. They have also brought in a new shuffleboard & pool table, and this month’s special guest, James Malia, a celebrity caricature artist, will be on hand to create unique caricatures of guests. Enjoying fantastic wine & food with friends in the alluring ambiance of EOS outside patio sounds like the perfect way to start the holiday weekend. Hope to see you all there!
