00:04 your host, Carl. It's so good to be back. We're on Clark
00:07 Street. We're in the middle of the chaos. A question we get
00:09 asked all the time is, Carl, guys, we're out in Wrigley.
00:13 Where do we go? I've taken you guys to Sluggers. We've talked
00:16 about Nisei, Country Club. We've done everything all over
00:19 the place. I wanna do something different today. We're gonna go
00:22 inside the Bamboo Club. I know it's crazy. I know some people
00:26 are going, Carl, don't take me into the Bamboo Club. I am
00:29 taking you to Bamboo Club. Everybody knows this pool. Come
00:32 here. That's a place of crazy **** It's recognizable. It's
00:37 notable. It's Debar season three. Thank you Miller Light
00:40 for having us. Let's go have some fun. Watch out for the
00:42 torches. Oh, how's it going? Let's **** go. Let's **** go.
00:47 Let's **** go. Let's **** go. Let's go. Right away. Signage.
00:50 They change the name of this place all the time. Bamboo
00:53 Club. Look at the signage here. Guys, we're talking about 50,
00:56 60, 70 grand at least. Hand, custom. How many wattage? What
01:02 do you think? 10,000 watts? That's a sign. You see this
01:04 **** sign up and down Clark Street. We have a whole spritz
01:07 and spray of the tall pina colada daiquiri based cocktails
01:13 which she may want that. So, that's just between you and me.
01:17 The date may say, hey, I wanna go get one of the tall ones
01:19 with the umbrella and the foofy drink. The other thing we love,
01:21 server attire. Every server, we're matching, we're not.
01:25 We're in style, we're together. Some are in silk. Is that a
01:28 cotton? Is that a cotton or silk? Cotton. Cotton. It's
01:31 cotton. Hey, who won today? Cubs win. Cubs win. Cubs win.
01:38 Alright, you just heard it from that guy. Cubs win. He's PC
01:41 had a couple of Miller Lights. Good to see a Miller Light only
01:43 pal. What Bamboo Club sells you on is the outdoor party scene.
01:47 This is pound for pound the best outdoor venue on Clark
01:51 Street. I'm sorry. Kill me if it hurts your feelings. Kill me
01:55 if it hurts your feelings. This is conversion rate and I told
01:58 you guys we would convert Cardinals fans this weekend
02:01 into Miller Light drinkers. I got one right here. How many
02:03 guys you coming in here with? Cuz I've I've said this is a
02:05 this is a bar for people with a big crew. This is eight guys on
02:09 a bachelor party. Bunch of former Chicago guys that all
02:12 moved away and we had to come back and say like this was good
02:15 for the soul. How many guys are in your group right now?
02:17 Roughly thirty-five. Told you guys. It's a bit. This is for
02:21 the big crews only. It's a place. There are cute guys
02:24 coming to this place to meet you right now. What's the best
02:27 thing that guy should be saying to you when he comes out?
02:31 Okay. I don't know if I can do that. Or you can be like.
02:38 It's it is a Spanish thing. What about like what's up? I'm
02:45 Carl. Carl. Carl. Carl. And me Gusta Miller Light. Oh, I'd be
02:54 like, okay, Carl. Not a fan of like guys screaming in my face,
02:59 you know. This is Helena and Rosalia and they're waiting for
03:02 you guys. Where the **** are you? What are we handing out
03:05 the most today? Right now, today is the the platters that
03:08 we got the poopoo platters. You're talking with the poopoo.
03:10 Poopoo's heavy. Poopoo's very heavy. You gotta stay balanced
03:13 with that one. Inside hand now poopoo platters guys. Does
03:17 anybody here married or got a boyfriend or something? We're
03:19 all divorced. Okay, you're all divorced. Oh **** Okay. Working
03:24 at it. Yeah. They didn't drink Miller Light today. There's a
03:27 young guy walking around Wrigley who needs your advice.
03:29 What is it? Um be nice, be smart, be kind, offer her a
03:34 drink, some lively conversation, and your mind and
03:39 heart is what matters. Not the package you come in. It's quite
03:43 literally the worst advice. Forget everything she just said
03:46 you. What am I supposed to say? Have a drink and take your top
03:48 off? That's ridiculous. I don't know. Be kind and nice. It's
03:51 Wrigleyville after a Cubs game. You think being kind and nice
03:54 kills it out here? I'll tell you what. I know you wanna see
03:59 me in this. I'm not going in this. I can't. It's too deep. I
04:04 don't swim very well. I mean, you wanna talk about
04:06 commitment to a theme. That outdoor motif. This is Aztec or
04:11 Mayan. Or Tahitian. One of those three. And I'm not even
04:17 trying to be insensitive. I just can feel the the power of
04:19 the motif. We've never done this before in a debars before.
04:22 This guy's holding second base. Second base, baby. Second base.
04:26 Today's game. How'd you get the base? I bought it. This is
04:30 technically the second baseman from today. I noticed you got
04:33 some ivy on the arm. Wait till you see the metallic green on
04:35 the tat here. All the way. Go all the way. With the W flag
04:39 and then I got your marquee scoreboard. That's diehard.
04:42 That's just diehard as diehard gets. Let me take you to the
04:44 nicest part of the Bamboo Club. This is the club aspect of the
04:47 Bamboo Club. This is why you call it a club. This is why
04:50 it's called the Bamboo Club. You may want a little private
04:54 oasis. I have it. Right here in the cabana section of the
05:01 Bamboo Club. You can take your shorts off. In the pool. Yes.
05:06 She can take her shorts off. She can take her shorts off. Can
05:10 I take my pants off? I want to call out the the ergonomic
05:14 wicker at first because a lot of people would say, is this
05:16 comfortable? Absolutely. Coming with a big group after a
05:20 Cubs game, get the whole space reserved. Now, we talk about
05:23 communal sitting around. Is there anything better than a
05:26 poopoo platter? Can I interest you guys? Some glazed steak.
05:30 That's a glazed steak on a stick. That's a skewer. We're
05:33 heavy features here in the cabana. A lot of things we like.
05:36 Maybe none more than a ceiling fan, guys. Talk about your own
05:39 personal circulation. Bigger guy like me, I sweat heavily.
05:43 These are some of the tougher months in the calendar if I'm
05:46 if I'm being honest. Another great cabana feature is the
05:49 natural foliage. I'm inside a bar, okay? Or am I not? Peekaboo!
05:55 Poopoo platter, one minute, one bite everything under one
05:57 minute. Can I do this under a minute? Start the timer. Poopoo
06:01 platter review under a minute. Set. Go sweet and sour chicken.
06:08 1.3. What was that? I want more of that. What was that?
06:14 Jalapeno ragun. I don't have time. Potsticker. Jalapeno
06:19 ragun, six, seven, two creamy. Potsticker bounce back, eight,
06:23 one full spring roll. Heavy carrot, 30 seconds. Heavy
06:29 carrot, put a full shrimp in a good crunch. I already went
06:34 steak, one chicken. Chicken is well cooked. What am I at,
06:39 Hannah? 47 seconds. Okay. Last one, short rib. Falls off the
06:46 bone. Sweet, juicy. Chicken is a seven, four. Short rib is an
06:51 8.6. First ever sub one minute total poopoo platter here at
06:56 the Bamboo Club inside a cabana. You guys just witnessed
06:59 history. Seriously, what a moment. What a moment for the
07:03 page. I want to interview you, Tom. What's it like? You just
07:07 witnessed greatness. Here's a great sound. Can I just show
07:10 you guys a great sound?
07:13 That bone dry, guys. That's a bone dry Miller Lite, okay? It
07:17 has been a minute since I've caught up on modern
07:21 horticulture trends, but I do want to say this is
07:25 important. This is Peruvian. That's Peruvian flora. You can
07:29 tell just from the size and the majesty and the equidistant
07:33 separation in the stemage. Another thing too, cooler guys
07:36 all day. I'm telling you, we have our own cooler loaded in
07:40 Wrigleyville. They just bring out a case of beer and give it
07:43 to you.
07:45 Okay, back to the foliage.
07:50 Can you see me? Obviously love the outdoor. If you're
07:53 interested in a cabana, it's because of exclusivity. If
07:56 we're talking exclusivity, I got something for you won't
07:59 believe. Come here. To my knowledge, this is the only
08:02 working escalator in Wrigleyville. Guys, follow me
08:06 upstairs to a journey you will not believe.
08:15 Rooftop real estate, baby. Take it all in. What do you think of
08:19 the outdoor area? What do you think of the vibe of the Bamboo
08:21 Club? It's very hot in more ways than one. We dig the
08:28 music. We dig the vibes and there's a lot of good looking
08:32 people here. So here we are. Alright, this is the first.
08:36 This is the first. You don't see me like this very often and
08:40 I'm talking to you, Tom, holding the camera. I'm not
08:42 talking to the audience. You don't see me like this very
08:43 often and that's because I'm overwhelmed with surprise. I
08:48 did. I didn't know. I didn't know Bamboo Club had a roof to
08:52 the roof. I did not know there was a **** second roof. I mean,
08:55 this could very well be the highest point in Cook County
08:57 and you wouldn't even know it. It's special guys. It's
09:01 special. We're on top of the Bamboo Club. Listen, this isn't
09:05 an everyday place. If you're coming to the Bamboo Club 25
09:07 times a year, I got questions for you. The Bamboo Club as you
09:10 seen is a specialist for large groups. If you want to get a
09:13 cabana, you want to get the cooler full of Miller Lite.
09:15 You want to get a couple of platters. You want to take a
09:17 dip in a pool. May stop in for a second there quick on the
09:20 way out. If you need a break from the action, come up to the
09:22 floor on top of the floor on top of the roof. Just taking
09:25 the sights and sounds boys. It's Wrigleyville. It's
09:27 beautiful. This is the bars. Thank you so much Miller Lite.
09:31 Thank you so much Miller Lite.
