Attention high rollers: If you're looking for a quaint spot to throw your New Year's Eve party, local hospitality impresario Quentin Ertel has the place for you. He's offering up The Saint as an NYE clubhouse, complete with full-stocked bar, staff of nine (cooks, servers, bartenders), and a DJ to be named later. Sez Ertel, "For the next three days, the offer is on the table: The Saint can be all yours on December 31, 2008, so that you and 64 of your closest friends can throw your own New Year’s Eve 2009 Gala. Interested? Hit me back and we can talk details." All we ask is that we're invited. more ›

Now that the weather is finally get warmer, it's time to plan some summertime drinking. Enter The Saint, the new tequila bar/Mexican cantina from Havana owner Quentin Ertel. What was once the ugly (and scary) Wing Dome behemoth is now the soothingly sky blue building at the corner of Olive and Bellevue. Ertel describes his latest social club as:

a tequila bar that would appeal to afficionados of the good life; a place where the grapefruit juice is always squeezed fresh and the pace is a little slower; where the cocktails are built from a library of fine tequilas; where the cocina bustles with cooks making food from scratch. A place where a little bit of extra love goes into everything, an homage to the time-honored process of making one of the finest spirits on earth.
