Super Bowl schmooper bowl. Who’s playing, anyway? Apparently that’s the big thing this weekend. I’m sure there are a bunch of sports bars you can watch the game at but for those looking for other means of entertainment, here are the following. Friday, February 1 Last Day for Win a Valentine’s Date Submissions Ladies, the…

The Custom Hotel: From the Lobby to the Top Floor
Looking for cocktail hour at a swank hotel in Westchester? Didn’t think so, but you might be interested to know that there is such a place. It’s the Custom Hotel, formerly Furama Hotel. That’s right, the one next to the bowling alley and the Ralphs.
The Garter: Another Dive Goes Legit
In dire need of a drink after work the other day, I convinced Crazy Andy to accompany me to the new and improved The Garter on Lincoln. I had gone there years ago when it was still the not-so-fancy sports bar called the Red Garter, and had left unimpressed. But after reading up on the…

Full Moon Horseback Ride, Minus the Moon
I’ve always wanted to go on a full moon ride ever since first I heard about it. So last night that’s just what I got to do with Los Angeles Horseback Riding up in Topanga Canyon. “Wasn’t it rainy yesterday?” you ask. Why, yes, yes it was. So we didn’t really get to see the…
The Happy Ending Bar & Restaurant: Get Stupid
The other night, my friend Ramona was celebrating her last night as a Chambord ambassador with a little gettogether at her favorite bar, the Happy Ending Bar and Restaurant. Apparently she likes to come here to watch football on Sundays. Yes, it’s a sports bar. But unlike a lot of sports bars that you know,…

A Cocktail Tale: Seven Grand's Irish Coffee
There’s nothing like a nice cuppa Irish coffee on a chilly winter night, even if that winter night is about 50 degrees. You’ve probably had the Irish coffee that’s sweetened with Bailey’s and topped with canned whipped cream and maybe even sprinkled with cocoa. That’s all well and good but if you want it done…
Today's Stream of Consciousness
Flickr Shot by dotsara (detail) Since I have to stay in and work on this oh-so lovely Sunday, I had time to think (and read) a lot of things: Two Westside bars that I had accidently-on purpose forgot about got new snazzy makeovers: The Mor Bar on Main Street is now Main, replacing its tacky…
Cocktail Review: Katrina at Kumo
My friend Steve at Kumo was bored. It seemed that people go to Michael Ovitz’s shiny Clockwork Orange-decorated restaurant more for the high-price, small-portions food than the cocktails. A shame considering they have a nice bar area, a very talented bartender and some interesting cocktails. Last night Dre and I kept Steve company. As the…
