Bar Nineteen12: $18 for a Cocktail? No Thanks!

Flickr Shot by Balaclava9 I was supposed to meet Erin and Nancy at Bar Nineteen12 in the Beverly Hills Hotel tonight. We had planned checking it out ever since we got wind of it from UrbanDaddy and Thrillist but it wasn’t until a couple of hours before our drinking date that I decided to actually…

X Bar Is a Hit and a Miss

It felt like Dre hadn’t had a chance to catch up in awhile so we decided to meet for cocktails, but at a place I’ve never been to before. That’s always the prerequisite. X Bar in Century City’s Hyatt is on my short list of places whose cocktails I want to check out. Even though…

Cocktail Review: Mint Chocolate Martini at Wilshire

It’s been awhile since I’ve last visited Wilshire Restaurant and Lounge. But I had figured back then that after a night of cougars and Purple Rain martinis, there wasn’t much more to see (although I do want to give Tuesday Sundae Night a visit). That is until the other day when a co-worker raved about…

Dear Caroline on Crack: Wedding Reception Venues?

Somehow, I stumbled upon C on C & yea!! I realized we’ve only just met, but I have this huge(ish) dilemma: Time to get married….I am a longtime LA/Downtown/Hollywood oldie, a little off my game this last year (moved from downtown to Pasadena a year ago), so your site has stirred my juices & renewed…

New Cocktail List at Seven Grand

After the disappointing and overcrowded Interpol listening party at the Natural History Museum, my dude and I went to Seven Grand to see if we could still salvage the night. And sure enough, my fave bar didn’t let me down. Not only did I get to run into some of my crackheads who were in…

Cocktail Reviews: Fraiche's So Fresh and So Hee!

OMG, awesomely potent cocktails with fresh fruit juices can be found at Fraiche in Culver City. Nancy, Dre and I plopped down on the low sofas in the outdoor lounge area of the restaurant to enjoy these specialty cocktails we’ve heard so much about. Actually Nancy wanted to check out the food and Dre just…

This Weekend: I'm Outtie

Since I’m supposed to be leaving for San Francisco in 15 minutes I only have enough time to quote a bunch of people about what’s going on this weekend. Lame, I know. But I wanted to make sure you guys had stuff to do. Heh. Saturday, July 7 Bootie LA 2nd Anniversary “Bootie LA celebrates…
