LA Drunks?
Stu and I are headed to LA for a weekend in May. Santa Monica area. Where to drink?
Saving my money for unicorn rides, and beer.

Minxy! Talk to Skot if you can. He took me to a sweet bar in Santa Monica that sold fries in a mini-shopping cart and had a bunch of sweet brews on tap.

PS... is this "Stu", Lex Luthor? Has he an alias these days?

That would be "My Father's Office" on Montana Avenue. It's beer & wine only, but it's a GREAT selection of beers. Food is good too.Rooster wrote:Minxy! Talk to Skot if you can. He took me to a sweet bar in Santa Monica that sold fries in a mini-shopping cart and had a bunch of sweet brews on tap.
My favorite "old skool" (circa 1959) joint right down on Ocean near the pier is Chez Jay. Jay is no longer with us, but his spirit is. It's really a restaurant, but the bar is pretty great. Peanut shells litter the floor, etc. I met MOL and Dr. DB there years ago when I was down there one of many work trips.
Another great old place down on Main that's even predates Chez Jay is The Galley. Again, it's a restaurant, but the bar is fun.
Harvelle's is a great old blues/jazz club. Just ask Peetie.
There are a fair number of bars in SM, most touristy or lame, and some rather interesting. I can shoot you some other recommendations if you want me to. Just let me know the criteria that makes a great bar for you.

HA!! Thanks, but that's WAAAAYYY too much effort... that writing thing. Besides, I'd need a Central Valley correspondent to cover territory I never get to.Chimneyfish wrote:Martini Time knows all the best places in the local scenes of every Californian city.
