ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – You can be the home administrator (housewife), the worker in the field or at the desk… it is a tested and proven fact that Fridays come with a special yearning to get social, sip and chat or party or just to be in an environment that has absolutely nothing to do with work. Some say Thank God it’s Friday (TGIF).

Research has shown that the average person who engages in social activities between the Friday and Sunday nights are most productive during the week. And this is a reality that has braced entertainers and social promoters worldwide. Here in the Virgin Islands (VI) every effort is being made to bring the zing back into the social life of residents here.

This Friday night is promising to be one such with a difference as local promoters have put their all into creating the ‘Da basement’ located below UP's Cineplex into a never before experienced atmosphere in the VI.

‘Da Basement’ will be opening their doors this evening, Friday August 29, 2014 from 7:00 pm ‘until‎’.‎ It is a sports bar and night club that is set to bring entertainment to a next level in the VI with American and European style renovation that is said to be in competition with no other in the Territory.

‎”Tipsy Fridays kicks off tonight and every Friday with DJ Dre, also tonight special DJ Ah Milli Soundz,” said one of the promoters.

‎He further explained that they will be featuring ‘Da basement’ exotic shots names to be listed live on ZROD afternoon ride today. “‘Da basement slush’ will also be revealing their names too,” he said.

‎With addition to their special beverage they will be having one of the most posh VIP and Hookah Lounges in the Caribbean, a setting that is geared to make one feel in another world.

‎”We are inviting the general public free of charge to come view the new happening,” said the promoter and to boot, there is no admission fee.

‎Also August 30 the ‘Summer ain't done unless time is time’ featuring for the first time under one roof, Showtime band and Primetime the Squad with music by Ah Milli Soundz, just like the old days. This one has a cost of only $10 before 12 and 15 after action starts at 10:00 pm, and to end the weekend Sunday is ladies night Latina style with DJ Fougi free of charge, with action starting at 8:00 pm.

    This will last about 6 months. Who wants to be packed in a building drinking rum and there is no running water I'm the bathrooms. I would love to support the locals doing this but not in that rat hole.
