"Continuing to operate on the building's second floor at 2900 Clarendon Boulevard, Buena Vida Gastrolounge is Mexican-themed and will share its prized rooftop deck with the new downstairs tenant. I note that Fitzgerald Lewis bought Buena Vida from founder Ivan Iricanin (who is concentrating on his Balkan chain Ambar), and that Buena Vida previously occupied all three floors of the building before Green Pig took over the ground floor." - Tierney Plumb

"Available on the first and second-floor bars, as as first-floor tables, Buena Vida’s shared plates consist of corn ribs, mussels, and grilled chicken nachos. On the beverage side, the classic margaritas and sangria go for $7 while house wines and rail beverages retail for $6. Capitalize on the deal Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"Got a killer Halloween costume this year? The winner of Buena Vida’s Halloween costume party on Saturday, October 29 will receive a $100 gift certificate to the restaurant. Buena Vida will also serve a themed margarita dubbed El Beso de Dracula — aka “the kiss of Dracula” — from October 29 to 31 ($15), made with mezcal, lemon juice, angostura bitters, prickly pear puree, tart cranberry syrup, and billowing dry ice topper." - Kalina Newman
