MIXER: July 15 Party Starts at Confidential, Ends at La Puerta; Somebody Wins $500 Bar Tab

JULY 6, 2009 -- Two of the Gaslamp Quarter’s consumer-friendliest happy hours happen early in the week. On Monday nights, it’s half off nearly-everything—including food and top-shelf liquor—at La Puerta. Same deal on Tuesdays at Confidential Restaurant + Loft.

Both Fourth Avenue venues are owned by the same management. And on Wednesday, July 15, each will be highlighted during a double-header party that begins at Confidential and ends at La Puerta.

The event is co-hosted by FIT Athletic Club and sandiegoDTOWN.com. Gift certificates to several restaurants will be raffled off. Other raffle prizes include GoCar GPS-guided tours and Skyy Limousine rides. The grand prize—awarded to one lucky winner who attends both parties—is a 40-person Loft party at Confidential that includes a $500 bar tab.

The Confidential party is from 6-9 p.m., and will feature wine pairings and free, small-bite food. The scene switches to La Puerta from 9-11 p.m., where a more Mexican vibe—yes, tequila-infused—exists.

“First and foremost, this night is going to celebrate the happy hour culture, and the social ambiance of downtown,” says Darren Moore, co-owner of both spots, and a downtown resident. “We’ll showcase the menu at Confidential, because we want people to see it has a residential feel, and it isn’t just a lounge. And people who come down to La Puerta afterward will see how diverse a venue it is.”

WHEN:

July 15 (Wednesday)

WHERE:

Confidential 6-9 p.m.

La Puerta 9-11 p.m.
