Saturday Night at Ri Ras
You know it was a good night when you wake up with mysterious bruises.
Last night, I had a of couple goals. Goal one, have as much fun as possible. Goal two, give zero cares. I was having a crummy night and that got turned around real quick when I met up with the girls for a night out in Charlotte. We did a little pre gaming in Southend before heading to the Epicenter.
Obviously, when you’re going out, you need to be responsible, so all the keys were left behind and we took the train. Plus, the train is so fun. The people watching is incredible and the conversations you overhear are always enjoyable.
My partner in crime^ If it wasn’t for this girl, I’d be tucked away watching Netflix and eating popcorn all night.
We decided on Ri Ras for the night. It’s an Irish pub with live music, dancing, an outdoor hang out, an upstairs and downstairs. Drink of the night? Vodka diet, always. Not only because it’s low calorie, but…okay because it’s low calorie. I’m not afraid to admit it. I’m not a “drink because it tastes good” kind of person. If I’m going to drink alcohol, I don’t want to feel gross the next day. I get asked how I balance a healthy lifestyle and a social one. It’s easy. Eat healthy, drink smartly, eat healthy. Simple. Don’t fall for the late night drive thrus or greasy pizza rolls when you’re drinking.

We just wanted to make sure Ri Ra’s stays in business.
Around two, we were ready to crawl into bed and pass out. I love going out, but I don’t know how some people can do this every weekend or back to back nights. It’s exhausting. The fun kind of exhausting.
Nice night out ! Seems like you had a lot of fun and enjoying your “new life” !
I have a “silly” question but I’m french so I was wondering, Vodka Diet as Vodka + Diet coke or is it something else ?
Have a nice day 🙂
Every so often a girl needs time with other girls for a girls night out remedy 🙂
haha I totally agree. I can’t make it through multiple nights of going out!
Haha I wonder the same thing. A few of my friends party at least 3 times a week. I go to a party about once a month or once every other month & I always wonder how everyone else does it so often! I must be a lazy movie night person, lol!
Is this the same pub as the one in Vegas? If yes, then I love that place! Really good food!
You should totally try vodka,water with lime juice. Low cal, delicious, and not at all too sweet or filling.
I can’t do it either, Taralynn. I went out for my friend’s bachelorette party. I only had two drinks (I’m not a heavy drinker) and stayed up till’ two, and I felt like a zombie the next day! I could barely function ( much more because of staying up late than from the alcohol! lol)
If you like low calorie drinks you should drink vodka-soda with lime! Soda water is better then any kind of soda because it’s basically water! Ask for some fresh lime juice and a fresh lime and use a good vodka and I promise you won’t taste it 🙂
