    Ahh, the weekend. Just out of three back-to-back storms and time for some calm. How refreshing. This weekend promises adult fun in all forms: whisky tastings, jumping into ice-cold bodies of water, dancing, and vibing to some sweaty music.

    Basement Club Vibes at Sophia

    Friday, January 27 —Belfast

    Sophia, that underground vibe chill bar we told you about a few weeks ago in Belfast, likes to stay super under the radar. No Facebook or website for them. No, sir. If they do any advertising at all, it’s in an Instagram Story that only lasts 24 hours. So, miss it and you can kiss it. Luckily, Weekend Spotlight pays attention. They are having a special session with DJ Leather Mommy starting at 8 p.m. that promises to provide “sweaty beats.” I don’t know what that means, but I hope there are box fans available.
