Club Bud Re-Emerges As The Premier Olympic Winter Games Party Destination

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Club Bud, host of the hottest parties in Beijing and Torino, will reclaim its place on top of the Olympic Winter Games party podium in Vancouver.  Budweiser, the official beer of the U.S. Olympic Team and a supporter of the Olympic Movement since 1984, will be the center of the Olympic Games social scene for five nights in February.

Torino introduced the world to Club Bud in 2006 with a six-story pyramid-shaped nightclub.  Club Bud kept the party going in Beijing with 360 degree video screens, an electrifying dance floor and an outdoor pool.  In February 2010, Club Bud will transform the famed Commodore Ballroom into the place for athletes, celebrities and some lucky fans to celebrate the Olympic spirit in style.

Club Bud will be located on pedestrian-friendly Granville Street in the heart of Vancouver's entertainment district.  The 19,000-square foot, 1,000-person capacity, multi-level venue will feature a concert stage, elevated seating, several bar and lounge areas and the legendary 2,646-square foot sprung dance floor.  Adult partygoers will enjoy live DJs and three separate bar areas will offer distinct atmospheres to enjoy a cold Budweiser with friends.

Club Bud will host themed evenings, with doors opening at 9 p.m.  A red carpet entrance will welcome Olympians to the exclusive events on:

• Friday, February 19; Burton Party
• Saturday, February 20; NHL® Party
• Thursday, February 25; Budweiser Party
• Friday, February 26; Under Armour Party
• Saturday, February 27; lululemon athletica Party

"Club Bud is renowned for its parties and for being a place where Olympic teammates and competitors can come together to celebrate their achievements and enjoy the camaraderie shared among world-class athletes," said Mark Wright, vice president of media, sponsorship and activation, Anheuser-Busch.  "In addition to Club Bud, the Great American Lager has been a proud supporter of the U.S. Olympic Movement for 25 years.  Budweiser's programs rally excitement for Team USA and create fundraising opportunities to help our country's Olympic hopefuls achieve their dreams."
