Featured Co-Hosts for the Evening

Join us for a fun evening out in celebration of the Fall at the Empire Room where a portion of the bar will go to the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation

A specialty cocktail EuroTini for $10.00.
2 oz Zante Liqueur (Pear flavored liqueur)
1 oz Premium Vodka
½ oz lime juice
1 oz cranberry juice
Shaken and poured into a chilled, sugar rimmed martini glass.

About Empire Room:

From the same man behind tony after-work destination Campbell Apartment comes the Empire Room, a swanky new bar and lounge in the Empire State Building. Although anyone who waits in line for hours to make it up all 102 floors probably deserves a drink, the Empire Room will actually be on the ground floor but it’s huge, clocking in at 3,500 square feet. In a past life the space was home to a post office, but as the Empire Room it’s been given a $500 million makeover and outfitted with an Art Deco-themed interior that “harken[s] back to the golden age of the 1920s and 30s,” according to owner Mark Grossich. Their diverse cocktail menu includes interesting mixes. Soak up the fancy booze with some truffled popcorn, miniature Wellingtons or rib-eye sliders.

Eurocircle’s Live Jazz with Anders Holst, Carlos Jimenez and Paula Jaakkola

Join us for a night of live jazz as we present two of our favorite and highly talented Eurocircle members at Taj Lounge.

ANDERS HOLST, a Swedish singer & songwriter and American Smooth Jazz Award nominee is what Adult Contemporary music has been waiting for. Blending smoky, emotive vocals with Anders’ signature velvety smooth sound, his new CD SOHO SUITE reflects an emotionally mature take on the nature of relationships and exhibits a new approach to adult contemporary composition and romantic music.

Yonkers, New York native CARLOS JIMENEZ is the next generation of extraordinary flute players. He follows in the footsteps of greats such as Dave Valentin and Nestor Torres. His talent and passion for Jazz, Latin Jazz, Salsa, as well as Brazilian and Asian sounds has resulted in him recording with many musical greats, including Hilton Ruiz, Stephane Ronget, Willie Cintron, Sonny Bravo and Edy Martinez.

Paula Jaakkola; New York City based musician, singer, songwriter and composer.

Our evening begins with EuroCircle’s signature cocktail the Eurotini, and then we’ll relax to enjoy the live performances of two talented jazz artists.

Don’t forget to participate in our raffle that benefits the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America as we will be giving away a signed Anders Holst CD as well as other valuable gifts.

The State Bar & Lounge is an upscale, classic lounge at the corner of Travis and Texas on the second floor of the Rice Lofts. Considered by many as one of the cornerstones of the Houston Downtown renaissance, it is also tribute to the glory days of the city’s oil boom. Much of the furniture and memorabilia are from the old Rice Hotel’s Capitol Club, a legendary locale from the turn of the century that witnessed such historic milestones as the first electrical lights and air conditioners of the city, prominent judges and oil men cementing the success of Southern Texas, and the last place where President Kennedy ate before traveling to Dallas in 1963. The State Bar & Lounge has resurrected the Capitol Club’s atmosphere and honed it to the times with the chic artwork of Houston artist, Alisson Stewart, a mahogany bar, high-arched windows, a private and distinct lounge, and a grand veranda overlooking much of downtown’s virgin growth and ambiance.

Jeffrey Kuhn, owner of Hank’s Garage , spent decades in the service industry. (dabbling a bit in finance and real estate too). He’s bootstrapped this enterprise himself and spent about 12 months gutting the space by himself. The building used to be a legit garage run by a mechanic named “Hank” almost 75 years ago.

Hank’s Garage is located at 115 San Jacinto (half block north of the Four Seasons), the renovation dresses up the outside of the building. I looked at some of the old photos..what a difference!

Quote from the www.thrillist.com:
Belgium’s known for three things: beer, mussels, and The Muscles from Brussels. Unless you count being the capital of the EU, and if you know who “The Muscles” refers to, you almost certainly don’t. Bringing Belgium’s edible stars to ATX, Hank’s Garage.

Helmed by a beer nerd who noticed Austin’s unfilled Flemish/Walloon niche, Hank’s is an open-kitchen, hardwood gastropub with a cozy back patio on which to suckle the nectar of their 32 taps, 33 if you count what you’re gonna do to dat ass…tap him, and ask if he really needs that second chair for his laptop. The knowledgeable barkeeps offer samples to help you choose from said copious spouts, which include high-ABV dark ivory and ruby purple varieties from St. Bernardus, raspberry-tinged Framboise Lambic, shockingly sour Duchesse de Bourgogne, and the “certified Trappist” Chimay, meaning it’s made under the direction of monks, though with their debilitating OCD it’s a miracle they can even get out of the cot in the morning. They’ve also got an array of Belgian-stylers, like Ft. Worth’s Rahr Ugly Pug, and Cooperstown’s Ommegang Hennepin — a beer Ty Cobb’s allowed to drink, but Pete Rose isn’t.

The evolving menu includes pommes frites with a slew of sauces (from smoked paprika mayo to dill creme fraiche) and toppers (chili cheese, chicken tikka masala, duck fat…), mussels in tomato saffron broth, steak (also with frites), and a St. Bernardus-marinated Beef Carbonnade, likely to result in emissions that neither your muscles nor bureaucrats from Brussels could cap.
