There’s a new night on Saturdays at 6º Lounge and the premiere is this Saturday, the 10th. MD Entertainment started out doing small events like bachelor and bachelorette parties, but rapidly built a strong following and they soon hooked up with Escobar and worked with the promotion team there. Now they have moved to 6º Lounge on Saturday nights and created PRIVLEGEbar. PRIVILEGEbar is being created to bring the “who’s who” crowd back to downtown. The night is going to be aimed at the Houston elite. This is sure to be something like downtown hasn’t seen in a long time. December 10th is when PRIVLEGEbar débuts, so get out to 6º to see and be seen this weekend.
