Good Drinks. Bad Decisions. Nine Lives. Zero Regrets. 😼

The kittens are out tonight, and they're taking over The Lounge at Barrel Proof!

Round up your favorite troublemakers, throw on something fabulous, and come cause a little mischief. We're turning Friday night into a full-blown Girls Night Out, with DJ OSO behind the decks, drinks flowing, and a dance floor full of bad influences.

🍹 $5 MARGARITA SPECIALS!
Because a little tequila never hurt anybody. (Okay, maybe a few people.)

🎧 DJ OSO – 10 PM
Taking over The Lounge with a dance party built for shaking tails, turning heads, and staying out way past your bedtime.

💃 GIRLS NIGHT OUT
Bring your besties, your single friends, your married friends who need a night out, and that one friend who's always the reason the group chat gets interesting.

🎤 LATE-NIGHT KARAOKE – MAIN ROOM
Not feeling the dance floor? Grab the mic! Our BIG Stage Karaoke party keeps the fun going in the Main Room starting at 10 PM.

🎭 START WITH COMEDY. END WITH CHAOS.
The night kicks off with Friday Night Comedy before both rooms switch gears at 10 PM.

This Week:

Host: Josh Argyle

Amanda Martin

Juan Carlos
Headliner: Oliver Graves

Oliver Graves is known as a "goth comedian" for their stark contrasting attire and face make up. As a comedian Oliver has performed across the country at clubs and festivals. Oliver's own newspaper column "Oliver's World" which they write for the Argus Courier, was recognized and honored by California Journalism Awards in 2021. Oliver has even had their stand up featured on NBC's America's Got Talent, where all four judges, even the commonly stubborn Simon Cowell voted yes to the performance. The America's Got Talent audition then went viral three times over, being seen by over 150 million people. Oliver's comedy does lend to the darker side, sometimes it's simply dry, or just absurd.

WITCHY WEDNESDAYS!

BYOP!

Free pumpkin carving party at Barrel Proof Lounge! Tools provided, prizes in 3 categories. Wed. 10/28 at 6 PM. Judging at 8:30 PM.

🎃 PUMPKIN CARVING PARTY & CONTEST!
Wednesday, October 28 | Barrel Proof Lounge | Downtown Santa Rosa

BYOP — BRING YOUR OWN PUMPKIN!

We're getting our hands dirty this Halloween!

Barrel Proof Lounge is hosting a Pumpkin Carving Party & Contest on Wednesday, October 28, and we're inviting Santa Rosa's most creative, twisted, and wonderfully weird pumpkin artists to come show us what they've got.

Traditional jack-o'-lanterns are great. But this is Barrel Proof. We want to see some personality!

Carve something terrifying. Make something ridiculous. Create a pumpkin masterpiece that nobody can quite explain. We're here for all of it.
🏆 THE PUMPKIN CONTEST

We'll be awarding prizes in three categories:

👻 SCARIEST PUMPKIN — The one that makes us question whether we should turn the lights off.
🎨 MOST CREATIVE PUMPKIN — Originality, imagination, and some serious pumpkin artistry.
🤪 WEIRDEST PUMPKIN — The stranger, the better. Make us wonder what goes on inside your head.

No professional pumpkin-carving experience necessary. Enthusiasm, questionable artistic decisions, and a good sense of humor are all welcome.
🎃 BRING YOUR OWN PUMPKIN!

Bring a pumpkin from home and make it your own.

Don't have one? We'll have a limited number of pumpkins available for purchase for $10 each, while supplies last.

Come ready to carve, create, and compete!
🕸️ PART OF WITCHY WEDNESDAYS!

The pumpkin carving party is just one part of our Halloween celebration at Barrel Proof Lounge.

We've got an entire evening of entertainment happening under the same roof:

🎶 5–7 PM | Ukulele Ramblers — Live music during Golden Hour in The Lounge.

🎤 6–9 PM | Wednesday Comedy Open Mic — Stand-up comedy in The Main Room.

🎧 9 PM–Late | DJ BRXNDO — Open-format music and dancing in The Lounge.

🎙️ 9 PM–Late | Big Stage Karaoke with Danny D — Take over The Main Room stage and sing your heart out.

SEE YOU TOMORROW!
