TIKI WEEKEND: The Curse of the Jade Amulet
A Hightower Expedition at the Venetian Soda Lounge
Escape to a tropical paradise without leaving the borders of Vermont. The cheapest vacation you CAN afford.
For one weekend, the Venetian Soda Lounge transforms into an vacation cabana—filled with classic and inspired tiki-style cocktails, exotic sounds, and a story that unfolds around you.
We’re serving eight masterful tropical cocktails, featuring hard-to-find rums, house-made syrups, exotic fruits, and several original creations made with our in-house Venetian syrups. We’ve been traveling far and wide (and tasting irresponsibly) to bring you a top-tier tiki experience.
Throughout the night, the lounge comes alive with:
Tiki mugs and shared tiki bowls
Limbo and a full-room conga line
Jazz exotica
Storytelling tied to the mysterious Jade Amulet with live actors
On Saturday from 8–10pm, Matt Hagen spins vinyl jazz exotica, setting the perfect soundtrack for rum-soaked exploration and late-night rituals.
On Friday and Saturday from 7–9pm, meet the Hightower Expedition Field Guides (Woody Keppel & Rob Toms) wandering the lounge, sharing rumors, warnings, and the unfinished story of aviator Rufus Hightower, last seen in 1951.
Some things are better left lost.
Drinks help.
Tropical shirts with sport coats and cocktail dresses strongly encouraged.
