For whatever reason, most of you (and us) will be up until the wee hours Thursday morning (from Wednesday night) getting hammered. Like, seriously obliterated. Because there’s no way we want to wake up before the parade is over. Not this year, Philbin. There’s no shortage of places that want our business, but one of the better pre-Thanksgiving bumps will be at the new Gruv Lounge and Nightclub. Local boys J-Fresh and dAb will spin during Gruv’s ‘80s old-school night. It’ll almost be enough to make you forget how much you hate spending time with your family.

[Gruv Lounge, 9 p.m., 3829 Sixth Ave., Tacoma, gruvtacoma.com]
