• [...] So I popped over to The X Lounge for happy hour this evening. If you are looking for the place to be, this is the spot. The martinis were fabulous and the atmosphere was like NYC or SanFran. It is smoke free indoors which makes a gigantic difference! It feels intelligent inside. [...]

• I went there for the “best of C-ville” party last night and bought one mixed drink for a friend. Today my bank statement says they charged me $50!!! Their phone number isn’t listed, so I have to walk over there to dispute the charge apparently. This is the only time I’ve set foot in the place, mind you. I feel burned and won’t go back there again if they don’t somehow make it up to me.

• One drink = $50. Sounds about right for C-Ville

  I wondered what that party was. I was heading over there last night and got turned back. I guess since I didn’t win the “Best Journalist” award I didn’t get an invite. Maybe next year…if I’m around…

• My mistake!!! The charge was a preauthorization. I just walked over there and JF brought out the credit card log. Apparently check cards work this way where they pre-authorize a certain amount and that’s what is initially encumbered against your account. X lounge is NOT to blame!!!

• Chris Carlson – thank you for the correction! Hope to see you back!

• [...] This got me very curious. I did a little searching and found one other instance of a mysterious $50 charge at the X Lounge.

• Umm whats the age limit to this club/bar. is it just a bar, which would make it 21 and up or is it a club too.

• I’m guessing 21…but am not sure. I don’t get carded much in my old age
