How annoying is it when you and your mates just want to go out for a few bevvies, dance a little and have some fun—but you don’t exactly know where to go because it’s a Tuesday?
Everything is always pumping on weekend nights, but for those of us who work on the weekends, going out for tequila shots is only possible during the week.
We know a few places go into hibernation during winter, but since Spring has basically sprung again, we’ll be seeing more venues hosting fun-filled nights! In the meantime, here’s your quick and easy guide on where to go to get down and boogie during the week.
