Mixology Night at Academia with EuroCircle

Some have said  that Academia is pegged as “an Ivy League university of drinking,” and a “figurative faculty lounge for late, great literary icons such as Ernest Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson.”  Russell Davis, the owner,  was a regular on Spike Network’s Bar Rescue 

The custom lighting has been designed by Cirque du Soleil’s technical and lighting director, “using varying colors and brightness to influence moods, trigger memories and evoke emotions”.

So what to expect :  high-ceilings, lots of wood, brick and iron surfaces, Academia is adorned with banners, seals and crests (the kind you might find at colleges). Chalk scrawled on the walls will nod to literary heroes like Hemingway.  What else… there are both lounge areas and long high-top tables with USB ports, for both work and play.
