Two new bars are opening, and with grand celebrations:
1. The Techouse and LocoLuna Grand Opening of Luna Lounge.
Luna Lounge, the cousin to Sunset Club and KISS Lounge, is located in the former residence of Coyote Ugly and Aqua. But the space is now unrecognizable — especially with its addition of the Solarium, a new glassed-in patio. Luna's roster of events include Urban Night on Wednesdays, student night on Thursdays, House music on Fridays and International party night on Saturdays.
2. Town Tavern is having a VIP grand opening on Thursday in addition to their big grand opening on Friday, Aug. 21. And of course I have tickets for you! Tune back in next week for a sneak peak into Uptown's new neighborhood bar ... and to score tickets to the grand opening.
As for this weekend, well there's the Charlotte Irish Festival.

Amped 4-A-Cure and the School of Rock's 40th Anniversary Tribute to Woodstock Festival on Saturday at Symphony Park starting 1 p.m.
