Check In to Clocked Out

Getting over the hump of a long week is in and of itself, a reason to celebrate.  Nightlife shouldn’t be reserved for the weekends and because our city is in the middle of an artistic renaissance, there are more and more reasons to go out after business hours.

At the forefront of Pittsburgh’s young creative scene (and one of these reasons) is Cody Baker.  You may recognize him from his uber popular Creatives Drink series or his social media handle, @tehbakery.  Baker’s latest event series is a top-notch collaboration with Kimpton’s Hotel Monaco – more specifically, their gorgeous rooftop bar – the Biergarten.

Tomorrow’s party marks Clocked Out’s 4th installment. Baker says this weeknight party Baker was created to merge the office workers with the Creatives, “The 9-5’ers can come grab a cocktail after work, while the creatives like to come out when the sun sets. That’s why the music goes from more vibey, low end to upbeat with a hip-hop twist as it gets later.”

General Manager of The Commoner (Kimpton’s in-house restaurant), Seth Kligerman, reached out to Baker looking for ideas to drive more traffic to the rooftop telling him, “I wanted to partner with someone who had a pulse on the creative youthful demographic – you are the pulse!”

Tomorrow’s Clocked Out event on the Biergarten runs from 7-12 pm and features exclusive cocktails created by The Commoner’s bartender, Alex Dando.  Fans of these parties will be glad to know that DJ Bamboo will be providing the tunes, along with Max Flick.

“I find it extremely fun trying to curate the mood through music on the rooftop. I feed off the energy of people and the scenic downtown atmosphere. It’s always a blast,” say Bamboo.
