Miss dressing up for the prom?
It’s a few months early, but it’s your chance to be cheesy, romantic, and reminiscent, with a lover or friends, or, you know, a cocktail.
And this time you’re legal!
Off the Wall invites you to the prom this Saturday night. Press your best dress and heat up the curling iron, kiddos.

Stop and smell the lacquer. All weekend
The new Meadowlark bar, just a few doors down from Larimer Lounge and one flight beneath the ground, is a non-smokingly stunning addition to the warehouse district.
Part mountain cabin, part urban chic, park secret club, Meadowlark will fast be on my list of places to return. The ambiance alone is enough to draw a crowd – unique, secluded, comfortable, pretty – and they have trance DJs a few times a week for further mood-setting.
Only a month old, you can smell how new this place is, and you can smell it becoming your new favorite spot.
What: Meadowlark bar
Where: 2701 Larimer Street, down the stairs
