- DJ Grand Marquee spins poolside at Avalon Beverly Hills all summer long -
(BEVERLY HILLS, CA; June 18, 2009)—As the mercury rises this
summer, blue on blue—the stunning mid-century restaurant at
Avalon Beverly Hills—offers two hot new ways to cool down in
style. Starting Thursday, May 7, blue on blue invites Angelenos
to "Groove on Blue," a poolside happy hour set to the sounds of
DJ Grand Marquee. Spinning a mix of electro and indie music
every Thursday night from 7-10 pm, diners can repose by the
hour-glass shaped pool and enjoy signature drink and food
specials for just $8 each. Featured "Groove on Blue" cocktails
will include the signature Blue Avalon and a weekly Groove Punch
crafted with house-infused alcohol and freshly squeezed juices
made from blue on blue's rooftop garden and local farmers'
market ingredients. Executive Chef Scott Garrett will also offer
a menu of "Groove on Blue" small plates available for $8 each
including mini bacon-cheese burgers with cheddar, smoked bacon,
and garlic aioli; frito misto with shrimp, artichoke, and
calamari; and smoked salmon with cucumber, crispy lavosh, crème
fraiche, and fried capers.
Keeping the groove going all summer long, DJ Grand Marquee will
also spin poolside as Detox/Retox returns to blue on blue on
Sunday, May 24, from 2-8 pm. This weekly event entices guests
to either "Detox" from their weekend with a menu of hangover
cures, healthful smoothies, and spa-style beverages or keep the
party going with the "RetoX" portion of the menu featuring
late-night fare, bloody marys, and mimosas. DJ Grand Marquee
will set the tone for Detox/Retox 2009 with an eclectic mix of
French and European lounge music mixed with sounds from the '70s
and '80s.
