SUNDAY, February 5

Also courtesy Swig Well, also at Rob Roy: Ted Munat walks through the ABC’s of throwing a killer wingding. The author of Left Coast Libations will cover everything from picking a theme to prepping your bar to creating a menu. For those who go big, Munat will also touch on how to snag sponsorship and drum up buzz. The class costs $60 (three cocktails included) and lasts from 1:30 to 2:30, which gives you just enough time to make it to…

Bottleneck Lounge. Starting at 3, bartenders will be mixing “big gay cocktails” inspired by Madonna’s Super Bowl performance, says owner Erin Nestor. If you’re more into halftime than game time, this is your spot.
