It's Mardi Gras! Every year, the Black Rock French Quarter flies in a mountain of crawfish live from Louisiana, just like we do at Burning Man! Celebrate with Sazeracs, Hurricanes, Beignets, Chicory Coffee, King Cake, and all the trappings of New Orleans! Do not miss out! Invite your friends!

Generational Therapy

Wed, Jan 28th
8:00pm to 2:00am
DAYUM we got serious shit to unpack about previous generations! So come in and tell your bartender "BOOMERS FUCKED ME" for a $1 shot of tequila, vodka, or whiskey to go with your frosty craft beer, crisp cider, or raw probiotic juice. Time to learn what Gen X learned, that alcohol fixes everything.
LET'S DO THIS


Bitter Valentine

Bring Someone You Tolerate
Sat, Feb 14th
8:00pm to 2:00am
The event of the year for SINGLES and MISERABLE couples. If you are in a happy relationship, don't worry - there is still time for you to fuck it up and end up here with us. Expect bittersweet cocktails, champagne for ONE, angry desserts, dead black roses, twisted music, and perhaps some regrettable life choices.

We can arrange exotic foods, secret gifts, exquisite cocktails, absinthe served from the fountain, sparkling honey wine, and even your own private silent disco. Book your party now!

About This Newsletter

You signed up for this newsletter at that speakeasy on Burbank! We used to be The Other Door, but then California shut down all the bars for   two weeks to flatten the curve   just a few more weeks to stop the spread   another couple months because of Newsom or Trump or Biden or someone   one year because of a virus, so we said "What The Fuck" and reopened as Risky Business! We have no marketing experience, and our only skill is making drinks, so in our rare moments of sobriety, we just throw things we like in this email, and hope you like them too!
