DESPOP TUESDAYS!
Let’s return to the Cats Kitten Club, the swinging 1960s-inspired bar at the heart of The Blue Lotus Strikes, the stylish storybook coming from our pal Des Taylor in 2026.
Imagine if the Playboy Club and Ernst Stavro Blofeld’s mountain lair had a baby — but she turned out to be a fabulous, fearsome, and fashion-forward billionaire named Catherine Kitten. She runs the Club like a velvet-gloved Bond girl with a PhD in charm, and her bartenders have a license to mix martinis that could bend time.
Here, the decor is atomic, the waitresses are sharper than their eyeliner, and the drinks? Let’s say they should come with a seatbelt and a passport.
“Order a Manhattan, black out, and wake up in Miami. Even though you live in Ohio.”
– One very satisfied customer.
This isn’t just a bar. It’s a cover operation for something much cooler. (Shhh… You didn’t hear that from us. But follow this link if you’re as curious as a cat.)
And because you love 13th Dimension as much as we do, Gwendolyn Brambleberry serves you our new official cocktail, based on an old fashioned… but with a twist:
Try it this weekend; otherwise, you’ll be attending different meetings from drinking on a Tuesday.
