Forget seasonal cocktail menus where the drinks are updated every three or four months tops, The Eveleigh (one of my favorite places for brunch cocktails as a matter of fact) in West Hollywood is taking it to the next level with their Farmers Market Sundays, which kicked off last night. Each week starting at 5pm…
On a section of Brentwood street familiar to most UCLA students who like to party, new gastropub Bru Haus sits on Wilshire Boulevard between Q’s Billiard Club and Cabo Cantina, two bars populated with 20-somethings whose seeming sole intent is to tie one on and meet that special random someone. Not that I’m judging. We…
Before Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, I wasn’t a big fan of Bloody Marys. I just am not a fan of tomato-ey things in general. But after tasting what was perhaps the best Bloody Mary ever (the Mary fans I was with at Harry’s where the cocktail was invented can back me up), I’ve…
Our day started out at 4am in Lausanne, Switzerland, and then after we arrived in Paris in the morning we spent the rest of the day executing the fastest tour of Parisian landmarks ever — Notre Dame, Luxembourg gardens, the Catacombs and the Eiffel Tower in six hours. Needless to say our group was exhausted…
***CONTEST CLOSED*** The Bruery, one of my favorite SoCal breweries, is celebrating its 3rd anniversary. That means it’s been spreading joy and happiness through its tasty brews for only three years. And, this Placentia-based beermaker is going to do up its celebration BIG by combining it with a local craft beer festival. So not only…
***CONTEST CLOSED*** You know how I was going on and on about how fun it was to bowl, play board games and drink cocktail punches at the Spare Room in Hollywood? Well, now’s your chance to give it a try. I’m hosting a benefit with SR’s Aidan Demarest there next Thursday, May 26th from 6…
If you’ve shied away from Hollywood nightlife before because clubbing isn’t your thing, The Spare Room, cocktail bar/bowling alley, at the Hollywood Roosevelt might just be able to entice you over to the blingy side. Yes, they have bowling at what is surely the fanciest alley you’ve ever seen, and that includes Lucky Strikes. Meant…
Last night, I tried the Glutster for the first time and boy, delicious. The burger, not the blogger. The decadent burger was created by Biergarten chef Eddie Hah (formerly of 8 oz) as an ode to kid blogger (really, 22 years old) Glutster, who is well-known in the L.A. food blogging circles thanks to praise…
Every pro drinker has a hangover remedy in their back pocket, be it Advil and lots of Gatorade, a pile of greasy bacon or, for the masochist, a morning jog. I’m a fan of the hair-of-the-dog remedy. Granted, I only employ this method when I have nothing to do for the rest of my day…
Last night, I swung by Scoops Westside to see if my ol’ buddy, owner Matt Kang, wanted anything to eat. Sometimes he doesn’t get a chance to get out and fetch dinner, especially when there’s a crowd of foodies clamoring for brown bread ice cream. Anyway, we decided on Gloria’s Café, an authentic Mexican/Salvadoran food…
