Come to 2012’s first Sundowner

Get ready for 2012 by attending the first Sundowner of the year, which will be hosted by Ignite! Fire Crafted Food + Bar from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18. Take the opportunity to mingle in the inviting interior of this new restaurant, the latest addition to Carlsbad’s thriving restaurant scene. Ignite! brings you authentic Neapolitan wood-fired pizzas prepared in a wood-fired oven and created with fresh mozzarella, made in-house daily. Ignite! also specializes in hand-crafted premium 100 percent Angus burgers, effortlessly throwing its own unique spin on the world of casual, yet polished American cuisine along with offering a great selection of appetizers, small plates, grilled steaks and seafood dishes. Ignite!, located at 6996 El Camino Real in Carlsbad, boasts a nearly 360 degree bar providing ample room for socializing and gathering. With Ignites’ tantalizing array of signature cocktails, an expansive selection of wines, and a dozen brews on tap, six of which are local craft beers – it’s no wonder Ignite! is the North County’s newest dining playground. This event is now only open to chamber members for $5 each, cash only please. For more information or to donate a raffle prize, contact Kathy Steffen, at 760-931-8400 or ksteffen@carlsbad.org.
