4. International Leave Work Early Day at The Corner's Pub
The Corner's Pub released their May calendar with a bunch of exciting events taking place this month - and this is our favorite one yet.
On May 23rd, it's International Leave Work Early Day. So save up your leave till that Tuesday because it's the last Tuesday before Ramadan!
5. CLSTR
The countdown to CLSTR's closing night has begun - May 19 marks the finale for the hotspot club this season.
For the first time the club will remain open till 4.00 AM, so you can savor every moment! Is it coming back? We don't know! I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
