Elite L.V. Confidential at The Barrymore

I can’t believe I forgot to rate this! This was one of the more laid back events, although it was packed with new people. I brought my cowoker /​Yelp lurker Justin G. with me for this event. I’m pretty sure we’re one of the few people that didn’t dress up for this event (which might have made it more fun!)
The food was good and so were the drinks. I’m not a fan of oranges, but the orange dreamcicle drink was really good! I really enjoyed the artist who came to sketch our «wanted» photos. She was really personable and it was so good, I now have it hanging up at home.
One of the best parts was the game where we had to guess who was who based off of the facts people submitted about themselves. I LOVE events that force us to talk to strangers. It’s much more fun than hanging around the few people you already know.
The patio was a great place to sit and chat. Overall, the event was great, and was made even better by the fact Justin and I both won a Unilocal t-​shirt at this event! I had a good time and I can’t wait for the next events!

I’m bummed out I had to work and arrived late… but I’m glad my bestie Jenny C got to experience the whole event!
Coming from the pool… I couldn’t dress up… and showed up in my regular street clothes… booh for me.
Yay for me… I showed up for the last 20 mins and got to taste the last wave of food coming out and got to taste everything except the macaroons.
Love the venue and everyone looked like they had a blast.
Would love to come back to the Barrymore… for dinner?
Thanks Unilocal LV for another classy and memorable event… Las Vegas Elite Unilocalers are spoiled!

I’ve been here for drinks before and was excited about having a event in this space.
The staff was absolutely sweet and courteous. I loved their macarons and the octopus was very tender, a feat.
Love my Unilocalerazzis, but glad to meet a few new faces. Should’ve met more–
Hey NEW ELITES — say HI sometime and mingle, the originals DONT BITE (unless you’re into that kind of thing… in that case, you’re in!)
I love the décor inside, but the patio was where it was at this event. It was comfy and perfect weather to sit and chat.
I’m late in a review and what’s been said will just be an echo of how I feel, so thanks for another great event, Misti and J — tern!

The Barrymore was the perfect venue for our «retro» event. Very elegant and romantic, loved the classic movies playing inside their gold framed mirrors. With all the glamorous outfits we actually looked like a classy bunch. Again we love to dress up/​wear costumes whenever we get the chance. Staff was great. Being fans of whiskey, we even asked to sample the Spicebox Whiskey straight and they accommodated immediately. BTW it was yummy. The hint of vanilla is what made it special. I usually try to sample one of each items offered at an event, but once I tried the Ginger Julie, I was hooked and couldn’t look back. We took a picture of the ingredients so we can make them at home.
My favorite food sample was the Root Vegetable Curry (they needed to garnish with a small naan crisp IMO making it perfect). The Pork Belly was perfect .The Grilled Octopus was tender and simple, I got 2 delicious morsels since Doug could do without sea creatures in his life. The Fried Lobster Mac and Cheese was good but not as awesome as I had imagined. The Macaroons had a nice light sweetness (glad they threw in a sweet to sample).
The alibi/​clue game was fun. It gave us a chance to really get around the room and chat with others we may have otherwise missed.
When we left there was a fantastic grilled steak smell coming from The Barrymore, I think that convince Doug that we have to go back.
Thanks so much to Unilocal,The Barrymore, Spicebox whiskey, and Misti and her crew. We had a great time.

I had such a fun time! This is my first Elite event. Thanks to my bestie Jewelyn T., I got to be her +1!
The Barrymore is a beautiful venue! I loved the metallic wallpaper and their lounge area outside. My favorite drink was the Spicebox Ginger Julie, yummy! Of the 5 foodie bites there I loved the Root Veggie curry and the Pork Belly with Kimchee rice! nom nom~
Everyone there was so friendly! I love playing the Alibi game! Thanks Bobby! I got the last t-​shirt! I really enjoyed getting to know a little about everyone and it made it so easy to talk to other people. I really hope to attend another event and become an Elite myself!
Thank you everyone and Misty for an awesome time!

Thank you Vegas Unilocal CM Misti Y. for making us out-​of-​towners feel so welcomed at this Elite event! We happened to be in town that same weekend for the High Rollers Scooter Rally and it was the perfect way to end our mini vacation.
At check-​in, there was an ice breaker that had clues of the attendees and the objective was to look for that person then win a prize or be entered into the raffle. The game was an excellent way to meet others and people asked us what the scooter rally was about. Everyone was really friendly and interesting to talk to. There was also a suspect-​style sketch artist and she did a really good job drawing us!
The staff of the Barrymore kept their specialty drinks flowing and small bites fresh. Loved the lobster mac and cheese, the Korean bbq pork belly, and the macarons! There was plenty of tables and seating areas in the small sections of the restaurant.
I can’t wait to return to Vegas to dine in or have a drink back at the Barrymore.

For a little over two hours on a balmy Sunday late afternoon, lucky elegantly attired Elite Unilocalers were transported back to the early 1950s and a lounge scene that would have been right at home in the film «LA Confidential,» the dark tale of police corruption and intrigue set in this period in the City of Angels. The Barrymore, with its lush décor, indoor-​outdoor mix of rooms, and a backdrop of darting flames and palm trees, was the perfect venue for this soirée held in a neighboring desert metropolis.
The Barrymore couldn’t have been more accommodating. Its bartenders kept humping and turning out Spicebox Whisky Cocktails and dessert-​like Dreamsicles in a martini glass, while its servers delivered a steady stream of delicious appetizers and colorful Raspberry-​Apricot Macarons. If anyone did not sample every offered savory edible, it wasn’t on account of any shortage of viands.
Everything I tried I liked, including the Root Vegetables and Moroccan Cous Cous served in a rich Vadouvan Squash Curry Broth, and I am not normally fond of curries. Grilled Octopus with Potato Rouille and Cannelloni Bean Salad was tasty for what it was. But the hits for me were the braised Pork Belly served with Kimchee Fried Rice and a Ginger Carrot Emulsion, and especially the Fried Lobster Mac ‘n’ Cheese with Truffle Aioli. After downing two of the delicious cheese concoctions, I passed on a few rounds more, and then at length succumbed to a third, which was one too many. Just as I had feared, this time I stained my seldom worn tie with a large dollop of aioli. Fortunately, this mishap occurred near the end of the event, and there should be no lasting damage. The tie is already at the cleaners, a small price to pay for a fine bite.
Sleuthing to find assigned culprits was fun and a good social icebreaker to meet new fellow Unilocal Elites. And, after being fingered myself three times by savvy gumshoes, I finally found my suspect and scored a raffle ticket from the wheel of prizes, which was enough to land beer festival tickets and keep my string alive of now four consecutive raffle wins at Unilocal events. Plus, my wife, Diane, won a raffle prize of Unilocal Cupcake Mix, which I expect to soon enjoy as well, although it will be her first effort at baking cupcakes for me. I have confidence in her that all will go well, and they will be tasty. I just hope they won’t be as heavy as the cardboard container from which they will come.
Grateful thanks are due to our friendly and gracious hosts at The Barrymore; to Misti Y. for artfully arranging and managing this wonderful event; to Bobby Y. for handing out clues and running the prize wheel and raffle; and for J-​tern for manning the reception desk and assisting Misti in performing necessary tasks.
Time at The Barrymore flew by really fast, but by the end it was obvious that this fine restaurant/​lounge was a great new find, and a quick perusal of the dinner menu convinced me to return for a leisurely meal soon after I recover from Restaurant Week. I was pleased to be introduced to such a hidden gem.

To avoid echoing the other excellent observations and opinions already presented by fellow Unilocal Elite, I’ll add some highlights.
LA Confidential-​appropriate points:
The Space — The Barrymore is at the crossroads of vintage boutique charm and modern class. Every aesthetic detail is refined through a vaudevillean, film-​noir-​esque lens. I loved the deep wood with copper accents, especially the film reels on the ceiling of the second room.
The Staff — Everyone was nice, attentive, and courteous. I’m assuming that service in upscale bars and restaurants was much like this in the 1950’s (when the film takes place).
The Guests — 99% of those in attendance were in full costume. The ladies looked fantastic and very west-​egg appropriate. The guys were also decked out to the nines, and I even saw a fake gun in a shoulder holster… Can you say baddass?
It was my first Elite event, and it was great putting a hug/​handshake and face with a name. The feeling of community that sometimes permeates Unilocal talk threads and reviews was in full form at this event. I can say that the hard work Misti, Bobby, and all the other supporting cast put in for this event paid off, I’m thrilled to attend more soirees like this in the future.

First Elite Unilocal event I had the honors to attend to with my +1, Tara. which was her very first Unilocal event Ever! She kept telling me. this is so much fun!!! I have to join now and come to more events like this! Love the enthusiasm of first time attendees. Truly is a pleasure to bring a guest that always heard of Unilocal,yet never attended, but now is excited in joining :)
We were warmly greeted and checked in by Janel… put our sticker name tags on and walked over to Bobby, where they held a Wheel O’ Unilocal… basically spinning for prizes, another alibis, and raffle tickets. We were given a fact on each Unilocaler and we had to find that particular person throughout the Barrymore. It was great to see everybody participating and dressing up in their most festive Old Hollywood Glam. The men with their suits and hats… the lovely ladies were dressed so classy and alluring. Love those petite hats! So charming :)
On our hunt in the fact finding Unilocaler. I had the chance to snack on some delicious treats. I loved their Fried Lobster Mac ‘n’ Cheese. every bite was flavorful and it smelled heavenly!!! The aroma was captivating. I could have floated myself to wherever that smell was coming from. Loved it. Their Root Vegetable Curry was packed with spices that wasn’t overwhelming, but more inviting and gave this sense of warmth to my soul. So good!!! I also tried their Pork Belly with Kimchi Fried Rice… say what!!! Being Korean. I was thinking this sure taste like… Kimchi!!! And to find out it was… Great job in that dish. The Pork Belly cube was thick and juicy. the perfect portion for tasting. Enjoyed it very much! The Grilled Octopus had the best texture and nice bite size portion. It made me reminisce being at a bbq and having it freshly off the grill to eat. So finally… I had a chance to try a Rasberry/​Apricot macaron for the first time in my life. Special moment for me at the Barrymore and Elite L.V. Confidential event. It was oh so fresh and yummy! So that’s why everybody raves about these circle puffs of goodness. Now I got it ;)
An hour goes by. my guest and I are Still searching like a mad woman. Finally to a tiny clue from our Bestest CM Misti. *btw loved your satin long dress! U looked Very sexy!!! I was able to find Moose’s owner. I always wanted a Jack Russell Terrier!!! Such an adorable dog :) I was seriously getting exhausted asking every single female Unilocaler if they knew how to blow a bubble with their saliva… to the point where I asked if they can just try to do one: P I’m still curious who is this person is, since I was searching for her the whole night. Where were you??? :(Ahhh… So fun though!
I sipped on a drink, which in a million of years I wouldn’t even try. but one female server knew her shhh and sold me on trying their Spicebox Ginger Julies. Surprisingly, this drink was money. You can’t even distinguish the whiskey flavor. it was just a delight to sip sip on this and before I knew it. It was only ice and mint left. And oh yea… a flushed out, tomato. Me! Allergic to alcohol. I know I know. the horror riiiight??? It’s okay… I had a good hour before I start getting glassy eyes, blotchy, itchy, and pale. It was worth it and that drink was so light, yet very refreshing!
The Barrymore staff was exceptional in passing out bite size portions of food to try as well as being attentive to anything we needed. Very courteous, friendly, and welcoming. Met with Dylan and he was kind enough to give us a tour around the restaurant and detoured us to the restroom, since we walked into the office by accident… I swear it looked like the hallway to what I thought would be restrooms? The dining room in the back was sultry and sexy. Love the dim lights, plush booths, octagon mirrors, and patterned décor. The metal film reels on the ceiling gave the room the finishing touch to a cozy, yet attractive restaurant. Ryan, one of the managers there also stopped to ask how we were doing and if we needed anything to please let him know. So nice! Love the hospitality here.
Seriously, that fact finds game was an awesome idea and way in talking to everybody and getting to know one another. even if it’s just for a brief moment. I think I wouldn’t be so forward in walking up to anybody and asking a female if they can blow a bubble with their mouth using their own saliva!!! Who would ask such a thing??? :P Some Unilocalers looked at me crazy and here’s me smiling, but they realized it’s a fact I was searching for. Haha… Funny. Definitely good times!
Thank you to all Barrymore staff, Dylan, Ryan, Heather, Ernie. Angela Johnson for doing some artistic suspect sketches, Anthony M. for capturing all the wonderful moments at the Barrymore, Janel, Bobby workin’ that Unilocal wheel, and the Great Misti!!! My guest and I had so much fun. Even I got excited when another Unilocaler found me as their fact finds. Are u the one w/​the baby tooth? It is ME! then point to my baby tooth ha!

This event was so cool that it actually convinced my somewhat «anti online review» minded boss to start Unilocaling. I have always loved the Barrymore because it’s just so cool and this event showcased that to its fullest. The old Hollywood theme of the event worked really perfectly too! Everyone looked so cool!
Since I was driving, my boss got to enjoy the drinks. She said the featured drinks were awesome! The grilled octopus was really tasty (and I’m not usually a fan of octopus), the lobster mac and cheese pops were delicious, the macarons were fabulous, and the curry was really nice.
The ice breaker game was awesome. I probably should have explained it to my boss right away since she was starting to get really confused by the random questions. The set-​up of the restaurant made the event a little crowded but there was no lack of seating whenever I needed a break from my awful shoes! All the staff was really helpful and friendly too.
Thanks to Misti, Bobby, J-​Tern, and the staff at the Barrymore for such a wonderful evening!!!

I’m guilty for being the person who «Owns A Dream Diary!»
The Barrymore was really nice, the dining area reminds me of the founders room inside the Smith Center. Really exquisite. The lighting was dim and romantic, it would be a really nice place to have dinner one of these nights.
The event was too fun and everyone who dressed appropriately for the event made it even more of a blast. It was really nice to have met familiar faces, some new faces, and especially the OUT OF TOWN UnilocalERS (I was bummed when I got wait-​listed to an out of state event)! The ice breaker clue was a nice touch and Bobby Y. had the spin wheel on lockdown. I don’t know if people expected their fact about themselves would be part of the event, lol. But it was really good to know something interesting about people you know and don’t know of. The staff was great including the bartenders and servers. They were constantly walking around with bite-​size foods, a plate for cleaning up, and just there if you needed them.
As far as the food goes, my favorite was the veggie curry! I was also a fan of the octopus. The kimchi fried rice tasted really good too, I like the spoon presentation. It tasted more kimchi than Yagyu’s kimchi rice.
Thank you Unilocal,Misti, Bobby, photographer Anthony, sketch artist Angela, the Barrymore and their wonderful staff for a great and fun evening!

I was very impressed by The Barrymore. It is very small, but there are 3 very different spaces in the small area. The bar is right as you enter, with an outdoor patio area which was awesome and very comfortable. It did get pretty crowded in front of the bar area, which led to it being VERY warm and hard to manuver. The main, formal dining room is located to the right as you enter. I loved the large, leather booths and the film reels on the ceiling. There is a second, less formal dining room straight through the bar as well.
The bartenders were friendly and provided great service. I loved the ginger julie and thought that the Spicebox Whiskey was really smooth and delicious. It’s unfortunate that it’s not an item that they carry all of the time, as I would want to have that drink again. We viewed their regular drink menu, and they have some really creative libations. We stayed after the event and drank a little bit longer and ate as well. My +1 had the Venetian Spritz, which I tasted. It was very orangey and refreshing, however not my thing. I had the jalapeño bloody mary, which was REALLY good. It is made with jalapeño infused vodka, which was the perfect amount of spice. This could rival my favorite bloody marys from San Francisco…
As for the food, I was pleasantly surprised by the octopus. I expected it to be soggy or tough, and it was neither. I didn’t really care for the sauce that it laid on, but other than that it was pretty good. The fried lobster mac ‘n cheese was really good as well. The coating was crispy and I liked the sauce that it was dipped in. I also found the curry dish to be pretty good, although I didn’t like the teeny tiny little spoon to eat it with. :) I did not try the pork belly or macaroon, as I am not a fan of either in general. As I mentioned earlier, we stayed after the event for a few drinks and also decided to eat. The regular menu is very interesting, and it seems that they try and put a fresh spin on everything. Upon recommendation from Ben G., my friend and I shared the burger. We also started with an order of the lobster deviled eggs. The eggs came out quickly and were pretty good. There are 6 halves in 1 order, so plenty to share. I actually had chunks of lobster in each bite, but did find the caviar topping a bit too fishy, even though it was just a small amount. The burger also came out pretty quickly, and was cooked perfectly (we ordered it medium). Although it was a ½ pound burger, I did find the bun to be a little bit too large for the meat. The burger itself was really juicy. I loved the bacon stuff that was between the meat and cheese (which is gruyère and totally amazing), and that they don’t use normal tomatoes… it was almost like stewed tomatoes. Altogether, everything worked and was really delicious. The fries are of the shoestring variety and come served in a small fry basket. The Barrymore steak sauce served on the side was a nice touch as well.
This event in general was a BLAST! What a great start (it was my 1^st elite event)! Everyone looked handsome and beautiful and it was great meeting new people. I thought that the Alibis were a lot of fun, and it really brought out everyone’s competitive side and made for a good excuse to talk to random people. :)
Great job to Misti, Mr. Misti and J-​tern for putting together such a great event. And thank you to the entire staff at The Barrymore for hosting such a fun evening! I can’t wait to come back and dine again!

Another awesome elite event!
When I got the invite and saw that this month’s event would be at the Barrymore, which is the hot new restaurant inside the now-​hip Royal Resort, I put it down as a must-​go. The Barrymore did not disappoint with the drinks, serving up 2 different cocktails made with Spicebox whisky — I liked them both, which is a feat, because I typically hate whisky… or whiskey. The food was also excellent: fried lobster mac & cheese bits, pork belly on kimchi rice (my fave), vegetable curry soup (ok), and grilled octopus. The dessert macarons looked delish, but I gave up sweets, so I could only dream about the taste. The restaurant itself is quite small, and is equal parts restaurant, patio, and bar. Super hip.
The best thing about Elite events is how everybody really gets into the theme. 90% of people were dressed up ‘LA Confidential’ style, which meant lots of hats, trench coats, suits, suspenders, and some very glamorous dresses. The detective theme was carried over into our evening’s activities — searching for a particular elite based on an interesting clue, which got everyone mingling and chatting (great idea, Misti). After tracking down your clue, you got to spin a prize wheel for some raffle tickets or an awesome t-​shirt (yes, I won!).
Overall, we had a lot of fun both getting dressed up and attending the event. My only complaint would be that they were kind of slow bringing out the food, compared to other events I’ve attended (but hey, you can’t bitch too much about free!).

This Elite event was a little bit like time travelling. L. A Confidential and Old Hollywood Glamour theme was great and it was interesting to see all those different outfits. My only chance to wear bright lipstick — I was super excited. The clue game was really fun and made up for small talk with some fellow Unilocalers.
Since the weather was so good on Sunday, I really loved the fact that Barrymore has outside seating. The staff was super friendly and the manager and general manager were super nice and helpful. The bar area is separated from the dining areas, which gives the dining room a quite, mysterious, and romantic flair.
Also my first time to try Spicebox Whisky and I really liked it. I’m normally not a Whiskey person but those drinks were oh so good.
The little bites were all very delicious but my favorite was the pork belly on rice.
Thanks Misti and Co. for this great event.

As always, an awesome event hosted by the greatest CM ever, Misti Y! Woohoo! No but seriously, this event was a blast. I really enjoyed the fact we all submitted random facts about ourselves and were given these clues to find out who said what. It was a great way to meet fellow elites and their guests as it acted like the perfect ice breaker.
In addition to finding out great facts about other fellow Unilocalers, the fried lobster mac & cheese was awesome and the Ginger Julie was epic also!
Thanks again Misti for hosting an awesome event!

This was an awesome Elite Event. I really enjoyed it.
My only complaint was that it was a tad crowded, but if you shuffled around enough it was definitely possible to find a nice seat and chat up some cool Unilocal Elites.
First off I have to say the drinks were my favorite part of the night. I had the Pinot, Dreamsicle, and the Whisky with Ginger. I’m sorry, I can’t remember the cute names they were given! Plus there were beer options available too, which I totally would have taken advantage of had I not been in a mood for wine and cocktails!
The theme rocked and everyone was dressed up. The game to find Unilocalers based on their factoids was fun too, although I never found my Unilocaler. BUT, 3 Unilocalers found me! Good for them, glad to be of service.
The food was good too. Lobster mac and cheese — divine! The octopus, also great. And the curry/​rice combo? I loved it. Even the little macaroons being served were good.
After this event I would really like to go back to The Barrymore just for a dinner. Loved it! Thanks Misit for a great Elite Event!

Fortunately, no murders were committed at LV Confidential, but if there were, there were a bunch of great Unilocaling sleuths to provide help.
I’m going to get my one and only gripe out of the way: The Barrymore is a beautiful restaurant, but kind of small. People crowded around the bar, and that’s where drinks were being served and clues to alibis and wheel spins were taking place, so it was kind of hard to move at times.
Phew. Oh good, now that that’s out of the way…
The Barrymore is gorgeous. I love love love 1940s Hollywood, gritty noir with class, and the Barrymore captures that, from its black-​and-​white movies playing in HD behind the bar, to its dining room with film reels on the ceiling, the Barrymore will transport you back to a time where men openly smoked on camera and dames were dames and nothin’ but trouble (according to the movies).
I love that everyone was dressed in their Hollywood best. The pork belly with kim chee rice was great! And, although I am not a big fan of mac-​n-​cheese, the fried lobster mac-​and-​cheese bites were actually REALLY good. The Spicebox Dreamsicle was my drink of choice that evening. I’m not much of a whiskey drinker, but the sweet of the OJ and the spice of the whiskey went well together.
And, since you’re probably all wondering, if you were looking for the Tarot Card reader and astrologer… here I am! I was on the patio most of the night, for those who ventured outside…
A big Unilocaly thanks to the staff of the Barrymore for hosting us and showing off some of their creations, to Spicebox Whiskey, and, of course, the Unilocal team — Misti, Bobby (who I think everyone should start calling Mister Misti, because it sounds awesome) and the J-​tern for putting on an event that would go down in the record books.
Case closed.

This was such a fun event. The clues that Bobby and Misti prepared for us to go around and ask each other questions really helped us to spark up some conversations! I really enjoyed the food and the drinks looked really delicious. The Roots Vegetable Soup with cous cous and curry was pretty yummy. I liked the raspberry-​apricot macarons as well. The ambience was so wonderful. The Barrymore is a beautiful place with two different dining rooms with the ceilings being decorated by gilt-​colored film reels.
The raffle was really cool too! They were giving away prizes. I won a T-​shirt from the Wheel ‘O Unilocal!There was also Angela Johnson, an artist, drawing a sketch of people. People were dressed so glamorously, just like in LA Confidential. Misti and so many other people looked so stunning! Many gentlemen wore their fine hats and ties. Some women made their hats. It was fun to play dress up.
The Barrymore is a great place to go to for drinks. I like their farm to table concept. Everything is fresh and organic. I will definitely be back for dinner one night.

This was a great event to glamorize (or attempt to) myself and meet so many stunning Unilocalers. It was so fun to learn interesting facts about an Elite, and finding that person. There were definitely some very interesting ones. I was just so glad that Misti is such a big helper in giving more clues to find the respective Elite. Gosh, how Misti remembers who had given the interesting fact, to direct me to that person, just shows what an awesome CYM she is! I got to meet a few new Elites and they are all awesome.
Aside from that, we get to sample the flavorful lobster mac n cheese sticks, a few spoonful of delicious pork belly with kim chi fried rice, sweet macaroons, and the cup half filled with curry something. I enjoyed the ginger spiced rum drink that I had as well.
Thank you Heather, Dillon, and staff of The Barrymore. And of course, this event will not happen without our lovely CYM Misti, the equally lovely J-​tern, Misti’s handsome husband Bobby (who worked hard at the wheel), and let’s not forget the fantastic photographer of the evening Anthony! Thank you guys!

My +1 and I had so much fun tonight! This was my first official Elite event and it totally met and exceeded my expectations. We thought the «fact finding» game was fun and I definitely met more people than I would have without the game. So much fun. I was the «country girl who was raised on a farm in Kentucky» and it wasn’t hard for other Unilocalers to spot that country «twang» in my voice after I spoke. Most of the people in attendance were dressed up per the «old Hollywood glamor» theme which made the experience all the more fun.
The staff at the Barrymore was amazing. They were gracious and courteous and could not have been more pleasant and helpful throughout the event. It was «yes ma’am» and «excuse me miss» all night long. They offered continuous tasty treats for the duration of the event. My favorite food was the octopus. It was perfect, not too tough or chewy. It was flavorful and the texture was good. I have tried octopus before and it was like chewing rubber so I was skeptical when I took the first bite but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. I sampled several drinks and was partial to the ginger Julie beverage. It was a little sweet and a lot yummy.
I was lucky enough to win the grand prize in the raffle ticket drawing! It was a gift card to the Barrymore which I am sooo stoked to use. I haven’t had a chance to look at the full menu but it won’t be long before I check it out. This thing is already burning a hole in my pocket. I will be going back to take full advantage of my good fortune ASAP! Seriously, how cool is it to attend my first elite event and be the lucky winner in the grand prize drawing? I’m kicking myself for not participating in Unilocal sooner. Love me some Unilocal.
Anyway, thanks to Misti, Bobby, J-​tern, and everyone else who made this such a fabulous event. The Barrymore staff rocked and my guest and I loved every minute of it!
