You see, Thursday night at El Bar holds a special place in the history of the Whynatte. Back in 2006, long before we had an actual product, we used to host a Thursday night Whynatte night each week at El Bar. What started out as a few friends hanging out with a couple venti lattes, eventually turned into gallons of latte poured from large urns and a packed bar. Back in the day it was truly a scene, with hundreds of people pounding piping hot lattes with ice cold shots of jager dropped into them, and from time to time burning all of the bars furniture in the back parking lot.

As time passed, we realized that we could not sustain the weekly 4am bedtime, and the associated feeling of impending death that came with each Friday morning. The urns were put back into their urn cases, and Thursday night Whynatte night at El Bar went on hiatus.
