Normally we aren’t a fan of facelifts (Bruce Jenner, anyone?) but in the case of Empty Bottle, the veteran venue’s brand spankin’ new floors and bathrooms fared well from a spit shine earlier this year that made the physical appearance match up to the beauty of their booking.

Next year we might just bring our sleeping bag and start camping out.
