The Merrow Halloween Burlesque Show<\/h1>\n

A Not-So-Erotic Preview<\/h2>\n

by Reviewer Rob<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Merrow is a like a hidden secret spot getting fine use as a fine neighborhood watering hole in the part of town it’s in. Tucked back in away from the street behind one of the many restaurant-hookah bars cluttering San Diego city street retail districts, it’s difficult to see if you don’t know where it is but has a great big stage that can accommodate, and often does, touring and local bands as well as the girls of The House of Pink Boombox burlesque squad that delivered another knockout show on Halloween. Plus the place has two pool tables and, as is de rigueur for a San Diego nightclub, a fine selection of gourmet kraft beers!<\/p>\n

They’re performing weekly stints across the street at Gossip Girl on Wednesday nights too but Halloween was different and they made it their night at this dark and intimate venue.<\/p>\n

Here’s a preview of photos and a story by me what will appear in print in issue 50 later this month.<\/p>\n
