Nightly Shenanigans

• The Nest!

  • Your Bachelorette party would not be complete without a trip to The Nest. Make a reservation in the restaurant to skip the line! Even if you have dinner elsewhere, book a reservation and have your first round of drinks and a couple appetizers at the table before heading into the bar side.

• Melvyn’s

  • A fun place to go for live music and a martini after dinner!

• Butlers in the Buff

  • A girlfriend of mine just returned from a bachelorette in Palm Springs and she said hiring Daryl from Butlers in the Buff is an absolute must.
