Alison Widdoes: Traci the bartender is fantastic. Ask for the gin and ginger drink she makes- its so refreshing...almost like a mohito but different. Cheers.
Steven Swimmer: Little Bar is a neighborhood bar with character & cool regulars. Now that their license is upgraded from beer & Soju to full bar, the energy has gone way-up. Monday karaoke attracts real talent.
Chris Poe: They finally got a Big Boy liquor license! Shots!

@iamkhayyam: Sipping Tequila is plentiful +1 Crab and shrimp enchilada is to die for +1 Lounge +1
Chris Garbers: Awesome tequila selection. Drinks could be a little stiffer. Getting seated can take some time, even with reservations. Food across the board was very good.
Reserve: Make it sweet at Red O with the La Rosita cocktail — shaken with Blue Ice Organic Vodka, fresh lemon, hibiscus syrup and apple essence and served up in a sugar-rimmed glass. Read more.

James Craven: Come early, leave late, great friendly crowd, love Brandi's spirit it's infectious
Offbeat L.A.: Opened 1936. An Irish-styled pub, with lots of dark wood, it holds L.A. County’s 2nd oldest liquor license.
Reserve: Swing into Tom Bergin’s in LA for a classic Irish Coffee. A delicious blend of hot coffee, Irish whiskey and sugar, stirred and topped with thick cream in an elegant glass. Read more.
Stephanie Weser: This amazing BBQ joint has no spiced rum! :( I ended up with a sidecar, with no sugar rim (they don't have that either)! ;)
Caroline On Crack: The julep on tap is really mint bourbon that they then mix with soda water, sugar and bitters.
Chris Lord: Awesome food! Laid back. Full bar with limited mixers. Take a friend and the brisket is to die for!
