Live Wire’s sweet, sweet 16
If you haven’t signed up for The Bargoer, Sam Chammas’ newsletter, you should. Chammas partly owns Live Wire, Whistle Stop, The Turf Club and Krakatoa, which all take up a few of the highest spots on my where-to-hang-out list. On a semi-regular basis, you’ll be updated on events like the months-long celebration of Live Wire’s 16 years of existence.
