Sirius had been working towards this event for awhile. He had gotten permission to extend his pub out into the street and so he had. There were charmed palm trees with twinkling lights and garlands of tropical flowers lending their perfume to the evening. Chairs, tables and lounge chairs were spread around outside invitingly. Inside the pub, the band was setting up on starge and there was a flurry of activity as the staff was setting up around the patrons that were already there. No one noticed that someone different than the normal beer delivery man was dropping off more kegs for the party of the new beers. They were lined up at the beer station with the rest of the beers that were being offered - two were shandy’s that were citrus notes, a stout and lager style, and flanking that table on either side were mobile drink stations - the new cocktails were split between the two - three on each. On the right hand side was a concoction of fresh pineapple juice, coconut rum and a new strawberry liquor, a shot that was three different rum flavors that was set on fire to add some smokiness to the flavors of coconut, papaya and guava, and a magarita that was passion fruit and came with a small bottle of tequila upside down in it so you could crontorl the strength of the drink. On the left was a martini with blackberry vodka, a ginger beer slush and another shot that tasted like a slice of cherry pie. Up by the stage was a votes booth for people to vote on their favorites.
Bouncers were setting up at the doors to make sure that people had the charmed stamp on their hands meaning they were cleared to drink - or that they weren’t. Photo booths were in and outside as were props boxes to keep things interesting. Also posted were some guidelines. “Please be advised - people wearing swim attire are not giving you consent. If there are complaints - you will be booted and charges (if applicable) will be pressed. Let’s make this fun for everyone - drink and apparate/fly responsibly.”
There were contests with prizes - that ranged from free drinks, to Hounds’ Pint attire two weekend trips. In light of everything that was going on - Sirius had been advised to postpone this event. It hadn’t seemed wise in the eye of his council to invite this much attention to himself. But he wasn’t going to let whomever was trying to terrorize people win.
So at the firsts signs of the sun setting, the band started to play, people began arrive and Sirius, stationed behind the main bar, gave his best smile all night long.
