    These guys know their drinks! If you're a whiskey drinker (like me), this is a bar that can't be missed! Also, Wednesday nights they have bands that come to play. Great times!

    Had a great whiskey sour from a skilled bartender. Was pretty empty on a Tuesday which actually was nice. Loved that there were board games.

    Found out about this bar from on theskedge.com because they post they were doing a karaoke night. It was a lot of fun, yeah I sang a little lol. Drinks were pretty cheap for LA especially happy hour.

    For food, Vagabond Grillyard pops up every Tuesday and Wednesday for happy hour 5-9pm. Great grilled cheese and tomato soup.

    Passion fruit daiquiri is the perfect combination of sweet, sour and passion fruit.
