Urban Eatery - Lake Calhoun

I met up with a few girls at Urban Eatery for happy hour last Thursday. Located in the Calhoun Beach Club, this place has a great vibe and is a perfect spot for an evening drink and nibble. The crowd is definitely an affluent one, not surprising considering the location inside the CBC. There's parking in the building (enter on the East side of the building) and it's only $1 to validate with your server. Huge plus considering the busy locale, and in the summer I have a hard time imagining any available street parking. I had (two) Margarita Locos, a mango jalapeno margarita. This new spicy/infused tequila margarita trend is definitely a no brainer for me, and this cocktail was awesome. Totally refreshing, and the mango jalapeno combo is a great spring or summer drink. The menu was restrained, but had some tasty sounding options. I ordered the steamed pork buns (treats I quickly came to love after traveling to Asia earlier this year). They were pretty good, nothing crazy exciting, but I would absolutely hit this place up again for appetizers and drinks.
