But if you’re still looking for other things to filly, the following are real horrorshow, my droogies.

Photo from South’s site After many false starts in March, Southern-inspired bar/restaurant South in Santa Monica will open its doors tonight. I know, I know, their Web site says their grand opening is Thursday at 5pm but I got confirmation from Adam, one of the owners, and he says fer real their doors will open…
Tranquility Base Grand Opening Cocktail Party
Flickr Shot by alossix Wanna judge a cocktail competition? After my experience at Bar Lubitsch, I highly recommend it. You’ll get your chance this weekend at the grand opening of downtown’s new 3,100-square-foot restaurant/lounge, Tranquility Base. There will be three days of events but the one I really care about is the cocktail party on…
This Weekend: Here's to the Good Life
Lots of fun stuff this weekend! The Brewery Art Walk, free cocktails and know-how by a Doheny barman, and grooving on the steps of City Hall. Oh, and yet another huge-ass sale. I guess I know where my bonus check is going. Friday, April 4 Bar Keeper’s 2nd Anniversary Party The Silver Lake vintage bar…
Press Releases That Caroline on Crack Forgot
So I’ve been fortunate that publicists have actually put me on their “media” list so that I get a heads-up about upcoming events/products/venues they’re promoting.

Seven Grand's New Off-the-List Spring Cocktails
The boys at Seven Grand have been promising me a new cocktail menu forever so finally I dropped by the downtown whiskey bar to see what was the hold up. It’s now spring, time for those winter cocktail drinks to go! I grabbed a bar stool on Damian’s side of the bar and he immediately…

Friday, March 21 Switches with Castaneda at Original Penguin Store Three hours of free vodka drinks, discounted retro sportswear and the undiscovered band of the month, Los Feliz’s own Castaneda. Sounds like THE thing…
This Weekend: Pinch Me, I'm Not Irish
The idea of wedging myself into a pub with 200 drunken revelers doesn’t appeal to me but at all. On Monday, I’ll probably just toast a tumbler of Jameson to you from the safety of my living room. And this weekend of events is pretty Irish pub-free. Friday, March 14 Pasadena ARTRide Get some culture…
