Bellevue: Don’t go looking for drinks at Naga Lounge next Tuesday, August 23—unless one of the libertarians slips you the password, that is.
The Arlington, Virginia-based State Policy Network, a consortium of right-leaning, big-government-hating state organizations, will be in Seattle next week for its annual meeting. And it has rented out Naga—and Chantanee, the Thai restaurant that encapsulates Naga—on Tuesday night, according to bar manager Jason Saura. Saura says SPN has tasked him with turning the entire space into a faux speakeasy for its private party, which will last from 8:30 until 11.
Since the front entrance of the restaurant will be closed, the 200 or so guests must enter via the garage, where they will be prompted to offer up a secret password. Saura says the SPNers have been instructed to dress up in 1920s garb for the occasion.
Portland’s Jacob Grier, who connected Naga with SPN’s Denise Chaykun to plan the event, will be in town to help Saura achieve the blind pig effect. Grier and Saura will mix up spiked punch and five or six old-timey cocktails for the occasion.
