Hooray Mayor status! ;) I love the wraps and salads for a quick on the go meal. & cheap beer and wine! ♡
So many amazing things! Frozen: garlic naan, palak paneer, channa masala, gorgonzola gnocchi, chicken tacos, frozen berries, mochi, arancini balls, mac cheese balls, cinnamon mini buns, wild rice..
cashiers are friendly here 8-)
Join the Wednesday pub crawl! Free to join, 4 bars, cheap drinks and awesome pub crawl leaders!!!! :) great fun!!!
So much to do! I got back from a day exploring the beach and local shops, jumped into a tango lesson at the hostel, and then chatted up some travelers smoking flavored tobacco in the open air atrium.
clean, comfy beds, 5 min walk to the beach, 20 min walk to Venice beach. Be careful going to Venice beach at night, things get really sketchy at the end of the boardwalk & no buses after 9:30
Love bartenders. Soo friendly, experienced and easy-going. More classy Victorian and sick Basement, cheap drinks, nice live bands,lots of people. If you want the real speak-easy spirit, this is it.
Great idea! Rock music and Rock Band. Great cocktails (I loved the ginger Basement Burro) and selection of aged Whiskeys. A fun follow-up to Tuesdays' food trucks in the adjacent lot. Read more.
Happy hour everyday food and drinks from 5-8 pm
Free stand up comedy every Tuesday night starting at 7:30pm or so. It's comics you see on Comedy Central and in the big clubs, not some sucky open mic. No cover, cheap drinks.
This is a great bar! It has a very rustic but nice feeling! Great up and coming live music on Sunday nights!
$2.00 budlight drafts before 7 on weekdays.
Shuffleboard and cheap drinks on happy hour.
They have great live music. And their sliders are so yum!! We always order onion rings n spicy tater tots with our drinks. Amazing bar♥
The Moscow Mule RULES! It's in a copper cup, yo!
Typical touristy spot on the promenade for average Mexican and cheap drinks. 2 for 1 happy hour is a positive though.
All you can eat tacos for $5. OMG! I had 2! Lol. The beef is better than the chicken.
Don't make the hosts angry or they will throw you into the alley
Check out their great but inexpensive wines. Wonderful local place with friendly vibe.
Fried Pillows!!!
Amazing pasta!!!!! The pillows, ravioli and gnocchi are a must try!!!!!!! FIVE STARS!!
Legendary Chez Jay, est. 1959, is a Santa Monica Historical Landmark. Known for its steaks, seafood, generous drinks and comfortable atmosphere. One of the best celebrity hideaway taverns in all LA.
Chez Jay's motto: 'Peanut shells on the floor or you're out the door!' :)
The first time I ever went here, the bartender put my first drink on the house. I guess that's not really a tip, but you should take it for what it's worth. Awesome place!
One of the coolest cats in town has got to be Toledo Diamond of the speakeasy jazz band The Toledo Show. The music is top notch and the show truly must be experienced. Read more.
Go check out Miss Dakota's amazing dancers in the "Gypsy Rose" burlesque show. She's one of my good friends & was also a resident headliner dancer at a former popular burlesque club called 40 Deuce.
Wednesday's #houseofvibe
Fantastic sushi. The tuna sashimi comes in slabs. Jessica roll is amazing with warm tempura prawn inside. Cucumber salad is fresh and simple. Just excellent all round.
Baked sushis are the best
Amazing Happy Hour deals and the sushi rolls are of the highest quality! A great local spot!
You MUST try the cannolis - they ship the cream filling in from their sister store in NYC. Divine!
Try the vegan pizza. We promise it's delish enough that you won't miss the cheese.
Lots of specials... Mon-Fri 9-11pm, buy 2 slices and get 1 free! OR Mon-Fri 3-5pm, buy 1 slice and get 2nd 1/2 price!
the farfalle la vecchia is fantastic - baby lobster, alba mushrooms, asparagus, and a light tomato-based sauce. i always substitute the farfalle for linguine.
Excellent spot for a date or dinner w/the family. Reservations are a must for parties >4. Staff is consistently attentive & the food is always fabulous! ...remember, you get what you pay for ;-)
Really good burrata cheese and prosciutto salad.
THE Yankees and Giants bar in the neighborhood. They purport to play all the games in the season. Grab your big blue gear, munch on the delicious snacks & enjoy the game with some draft.
Stop by on a wednesday, have a drink with some drunk hackers, order a japhy, or a hooker with Tommee
Order a Japhy. It's Rick's signature drink.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
