CLUBLAND—Down in SoMa, it seems that Le Duplex will soon change hands and morph into something called Redemption Lounge. No word on any further details, but the pending liquor license transferral is here. Le Duplex's phone has been off the hook (literally; not in the hip way) all day, so anyone with any further info is encouraged to share. Won't you help to sing, these songs of Clubland? Re-demp-tion Lounge. [EaterWire]
CITY-WIDE—Consider this another reminder to submit your finest holiday restaurant and bar decorations to the Eater Holiday Photo Contest. The man, woman or child who sends in a photo of the most ridiculous, outrageous, aesthetically-challenged holiday decorations will receive a cool $100, just like that. All findings should be submitted to sf@eater.com, so do keep an eye out whilst shopping this week. [EaterWire]
