Shake off those Monday blues at this weekly music video party hosted by Danny, where 90s and 00s nostalgia sets the perfect backdrop for letting loose. Grab a $5 you-call-it drink and settle into SoFo's laid-back vibe—no cover charge means more money for good times with friends old and new. It's the perfect excuse to log off from the day and dive into a fun, welcoming crowd that knows how to make Mondays actually worth celebrating. This event was imported by Out x Out.
