IT’S going to be as much about style as sizzle when the Queens Hotel in Ennis hosts a Tarantino theme night to kick off its line-up of spectacular summer events on this Friday night, August 8.
There will be fancy dress, a twist competition, music inspired by the films of Quentin Tarantino, Taranti- no twist cocktails, Tarantino burgers and hot dogs – all that will be miss- ing will be the enigmatic filmmaker himself .
Security staff will be dressed as the cast of Reservoir Dogs — with Mr. Black, Mr. Blonde, Mr. White, Mr. Pink, Mr. Blue and Mr. Red making sure that everything runs smoothly on the night.
Bar staff will be kitted out in retro movie outfits and a touch of glamour will be provided by a bevy of Taran- tino beauties.
The iconic director, who burst onto the scene with his hyper-violent de- but Reservoir Dogs, is sure to inspire some outlandish fancy dress efforts. as his films such as Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and Jackie Brown are laden with iconic characters.
Prizes for best – and worst – dressed Tarantino characters should exer- cise the imagination and stretch the boundaries of good taste.
And the prizes are nothing to be sniffed at.
Top prize for the twist competi- tion will include a table reservation
at Q nightclub for up to 12 people with champagne on arrival, design- er cocktails by “BarlOder” for all guests, pictures of the winner’s party on the new Queens website and big screens as well as invitations to the Queens customer appreciation night
for the entire party to bring the value of the prize package to over €1000.
The Queens Hotel is made up of two clubs — the main room which focus- es on chart and commercial sounds and The Sanctuary which features a broader range of music.
Next on the line-up at the Queens summer series will be celebrity DJ’s RED N’HED on Friday August 22.
