I wanted to check out the “All Night Happy Hour” at the Arsenal last night: $4 well drinks, $4 appetizers and $3 beers. However, I soon found out that it was all a misprint, a leftover special from the football season. Now happy hour here is the standard 5-7pm variety. Disappointed! To make myself feel…

Caroline on Crack Happy Hour at the Royale
Hey all, I wanted to invite you to a get-together I’m throwing at the fab Royale on Wilshire tomorrow night. I’ve been wanting to have an event there ever since I first set foot in that lounge last month. It’s so pretty and big and empty on a weekday — perfect for a gathering. I…
Free Booze at Beauty Bar's 7th Anniversary Party
Flickr Shot by Beatnikside On the same night that Lava Lounge is celebrating its last night in Hollywood, the Beauty Bar will be throwing a bash for its 7th anniversary. It brought you the Prell cocktail, the manicure/martini happy hour and the Drop Dead Gorgeous beauty pageant, I’ll say it should be celebrated. DJ Erick…
FREE TICKETS: L.A. Barhopper Mystery Party Bus
Hey all, I was able to score a couple of FREE tickets (usually $29.99) to this Saturday’s Mystery Barhopping Party Bus Tour a la L.A. Barhopper. Surprisingly I have yet to hop on board one of these bad boys but this Saturday I’m going to give it a go. Anyone care to join me? The…
The Village Idiot: Not the Brightest Pub on the Block
When I first heard its name, I just had to go. Most of the online reviews cover the Village Idiot’s gastropub fare, but of course I had to check it out for its liquor selection. They tout their wine selection, their brews on tap…maybe they had specialty cocktails, too? And on a boulevard crowded with…
Cocktail Review: Burning Man at Ford's Filling Station
So Dre and I were jonesin’ for cocktails and we didn’t know why, and then we realized it was because we hadn’t visited our fave bartender, Steve, at Ford’s in over a month! Gasp! So last night we were finally able to pay him a visit and were greeted with such enthusiasm that we felt…
Valentine's Day Bar Hop for Singles
A lot of my single crackheads kept asking for it so here it is, a list of Valentine’s Day to-dos. While all the couples are out having their overpriced intimate dinners, I’m all for just going out drinking with your friends this night. While, really, any bar, your favorite bar, will be a good place…
The Frolic Room: When You Just Want a Cheap Drink and a Bar Stool in Hollywood
On Saturday when Lillian, Valerie and I left the Create:Fixate party, we were actually looking for a livelier venue since at 9pm, the art party was still kinda dead. We ended up walking from Social Hollywood (too snobby) to Citizen Smith (closed for a private party) to Tiny’s KO (closed for a Varla magazine party)…
Cocktail Review: Bad Dog at Backstage
I haven’t been to the Backstage in awhile. I had stopped going to this self-proclaimed “best dive bar in the world” after it seemed to gain much popularity. Now, the hipsters outnumbered the barflies. And during karaoke night, the drunk jocks bogarded the mic from the old regulars. But last night I thought I’d revisit…
Game On: Barcade Grand Opening Party
I heard of Barcade a long time ago but it was described to me as an underground arcade in someone’s 2nd floor K-Town apartment. (Check it out, there’s even a listing for it in UrbanDictionary.com.) But after reading up on it in CalendarLive it sounds like something definitely worth checking out. Old school gamers who…
