One of our fave neighborhood hangouts, Starlite is celebrating their 2-year anniversary this weekend. Show some love to an incredible bar and restaurant that knows damn well how to pour a drink as well as survive a recession. Specials will run June 21-25 on the infamous Starlite Mule and other tasty drinks and eats. Congrats guys – two years and going strong!
