News & Media ...
We're coming off of an amazing weekend that celebrated the power of 90's nostalgia ... Friday
The Church of Tomorrow &
Goo teamed up for an early 90's ride through rave and acid house music. As if the combo wasn't enough,
Todd Fink from
The Faint made a rare Goo DJ appearance. Check the
PHOTOS by
Eric Herrera. And Saturday, we paid tribute to the monster that is 90's hip hop. Four hours of music doesn't even touch the tip of what can be played, but
Kobrakyle &
Brent Crampton had the place brimming with vibes. Check the
PHOTOS from
Scky Rei.
/// In case you missed it, we put out a short documentary about the past 7 years of loom-making.
WATCH IT for yourself.
The Berry & Rye ...
As we've previously announced, a few of the House of Loom folks took over the Old Market bar named Myth Martini Lounge on 1105 Howard St. While the space is still currently operating as Myth, a new craft cocktail concept is set to launch titled
THE BERRY & RYE. Though the new concept won't officially jump start until sometime in April, each week new progress is made in transforming the look and taste of the space. We'll be giving weekly updates on the progress in our newsletter here. For the time being, stop down this week at Myth, ask the bartender nicely, and he'll give you a sneak peak into the upcoming cocktail program. Also be sure to join our
Facebook page to stay tuned.
Behind the Bar ...

Back at House of Loom, with Martinis & Manicures happening from 5:30-8:30 pm tonight, we're featuring the
ORIGINAL MARTINI. Thanks to the 90's and Sex and the City, we saw every color of the rainbow and every flavor simple syrup could be paired within a martini glass. At HoL, we like to stick with Beefeater Gin, Dolin Dry Vermouth, orange bitters and a lemon twist; never an olive. Of course we'll make a martini anyway your little heart desires, but we'd love to show this off while we feature it for
only $5 all night. We'll also have some lovely punk & reggae vinyl selections from Thrash Head Mike after 9pm.
