Kipp's Picks: Oddisee, Sinotronics, Franz Underwear, and Crazy 8s at GLB45
This weekend is relatively slim pickings when it comes to our beloved city’s party circuit, but here’s a list of our favorite events and drink promotions to get your juices and bodies flowing to the beats during your precious leisure time at the week's end.
Nov 8-15: Crazy 8s at GLB45
Great Leap #45 has been open for eight months and to mark this especially lucky occasion they’ve got a generous promotion where you can purchase eight beers for RMB 248. That’s RMB 32 per beer, just in case you were about to jump over to your calculator and figure out the breakdown. You can also split the eight beers across the week if you don’t think you can down them all in one night. 11am-2am. Great Leap #45
