Kids in the Hall are back! OK, not really, but I’ll take what I can get dammit. Seems my fave Kids, Scott Thompson and Kevin McDonald, are using the Steve Allen Theater as their outlet for their comedy since the TV show is long gone and they still wanna make people laugh. Scott will be…

Cocktail Review: Pearadis at Eleven
The other night I had the most delightful, unusual cocktail: Pearadis at Eleven. Eleven Nightclub and Restaurant recently opened up in boys’ town on Santa Monica Boulevard and their cocktail menu kicks the nearby Abbey’s ass with its variety and innovativeness. With offerings that incorporate unusual cocktail ingredients like Tang and pomegranate vodka, I want…
Bar Lubitsch: Propaganda and Molotov Cocktails Means Na zdravi!
Last night Dre and I showed up at the Fairfax District’s Bar Lubitsch for a Mediabistro/metroblogging bloggers meet n’ greet. When we first walked into the crowded Russian-themed vodka bar and perused the Bolshevik propaganda pamphlet called the cocktail menu, our hearts sank as we saw the prices: $12 specialty cocktails, $6 beer and $9-$25…
Cocktail Review: The Crazy Dutchman at the Arsenal
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…
Rockin' Movie Nights: Tiny's K.O. Movie Mondays
Tiny’s K.O. is giving Arclight’s 21+ screenings a run for its money. Every Monday night my fave Hollywood bar will be projecting some of the best dark and twisted flicks on its north wall. Who wants $5 popcorn and $6 beer when you’ve got a $2 happy hour food menu and $3 PBRs and Miller…
uWink Bistro's 24 TV Show Viewing Party
Nothing is more fun than getting together with like-minded souls and cringing, yelling and cheering in unison. Since I’m not a big sports fan, I’ll content myself with uWink Bistro’s weekly 24 viewing party. Fans of the show can converge on the media bar every Monday night to catch their man in action. That’s right,…
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…
L.A. Barhopper Mystery Bus Tour: A Night of Accidental Debauchery
Ugh, my head hurts. I haven’t had a hangover like this since…I don’t know when. What’s funny is that before I got on board L.A. Barhopper’s Mystery Bus Tour, I swore to myself and my friends that I wasn’t going to get plastered. Usually two drinks is my max, for practical reasons. But I guess…
Lava Lounge's Last Days: Fire Sale, Kinky Karaoke & Burlesque
After 13 years serving the Hollywood nightlife hidden in the boring confines of a La Brea strip mall, the Lava Lounge is bidding you “aloha.” Which is sad because it’s one of those places I’ve always meant to check out but never did thinking it would always be around. I know, nothing in club life…
