Itâs true â Esoterica is not for everyone.
Weâve heard a lot of you say youâre too old, not cool enough, nervous to step in, or unsure if youâd be comfortable inside Esoterica.
And weâre here to say, if you believe any of those things about yourself then youâre right⊠weâre not your spot.
Esoterica is a lounge (and not just an event space) for the curious, the interesting, the fearless, and those that are inspired by their neighbors, our collective future, and possibility â however, an age doesnât dictate any of this đ«¶đ€©
We personally believe every single one of you have something incredible to offer Esoterica and the folks that gather in our walls⊠but if you donât believe that about yourself yet, weâll be here waiting to invite you in once you believe it about yourself đ€
âšâĄïžWednesday - Friday from 4-9 the lounge is not a raging dance party, (we save that for Friday and Saturday nights from around 11pm - LATE AT NIGHT) itâs actually full of folks of ALL AGES nestled in our lounge with friends enjoying beverages, snacks, and outside take-out from restaurants all over town.
On Wed-Fri evenings from 4-9pm, our lounge is moody, inviting, comfortable, and sexy.
Our artisanal cocktails and mocktails are made with top-shelf liquors and house-made syrups.
We have snacks but also allow folks to bring in take-out food from anywhere across town.
You also donât have to drink alcohol to enjoy Esoterica.
Weâve also heard a lot of you share that you donât care for alcohol being the center of community around here.
Thankfully, alcohol is not all that binds us inside of Eso.
We may offer a full bar of alcoholic options, but we have to many juices, energy drinks, sodas, and mocktails for all you folks that donât find alcohol appealing.
Like we said, weâre not for everyone, but if youâre interested in doing something different, meeting incredibly talented and interesting people that call Wheeling home, it all happens inside our walls.
Weâre so excited to invite you in!
But yes, these photos are from a recent wild Wiggle RoomâŠđđ
âŠwe couldnât help ourselves because seeing these young people in our town ALIVE AND SAFE late into the night just tickles our hearts and gets us so excited FOR OUR FUTURE!
