Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016
UPDATE July 2015: The original vintage interior has been gutted and subjected to an unfortunate flavorless remodel. It's vintage charm has been destroyed.

Absolutely my favorite place in Los Angeles. First landmark I visited here, and still a regular. http://urbanhomeblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/los-angeles-travelogue-part-1-old.html

Offbeat L.A. tip: True Los Angeles classic. Opened in 1927 in an old redline street car. Humphrey Bogart and Frank Sinatra are just a few of the stars who drank here.

Bonus points if you can find the Skipper and his little buddy (Gilligan's Island) - not from foursquare, just geek points ;)
