Everyone Go Here Tonight: Seven Grand

Flickr Shot by Eric Richardson OK, this isn’t a formal happy hour or even a wine bar bus tour, just a casual invite to all my crackheads. I’ve been meaning to check out the new bar Seven Grand ever since I heard about it. So tonight I’m going to meet up with crazy Andy from…

Library Bar: Speak in Hushed Tones When You Speak of Beer

I hate it when I find a really cool bar and it’s so far away from the Westside. That happens a lot. That’s the case with Library Bar. Located in downtown makes it another bar to add to this Westsider’s barhopping dream lineup as it’s near Seven Grand, Golden Gopher and the Broadway Bar. There’s…

CoC Wine Bar Tour: Wino Crackheads Hit the Road

Just in case you wondered, last night’s wine bar bus tour was a blast and I’m not just saying that cuz my name was on the tour. Honestly I was a bit surprised how well it turned out considering it was the first time I’ve ever thrown something like that. L.A. Barhopper’s Brian arranged for…

Going Native: Not For Tourists LA 2007 Release Bash

Before the Internet I used to rely heavily on guidebooks to figure out where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do around L.A. Not For Tourists L.A. was one of the standout guides since it not only covered fun to-dos but also mundane necessities like neighborhood car washes, gas stations, and grocery…

Calling All Winos: A Very Special Wine Bar Bus Tour

You don’t have to go to the wineries of SLO and Santa Barbara for good wine when we have perfectly good wine bars in Los Angeles and they continue to pop up around town. Spanish, Italian, French, Argentinian. I’ve collaborated with L.A. Barhopper Mystery Bus Tour for this special Caroline on Crack wine bar bus…

L.A.'s Buzz Over Downtown's Seven Grand Bar

It’s no secret that I loves me some whiskey so I was excited to hear that Seven Grand, a new whiskey bar, opened up in Downtown L.A., especially one that’s put together by the Golden Gopher peeps. And sure there are vodka bars, sake bars and wine bars, why not whiskey? But then I heard…

Kids in the Hall at Steve Allen Theater

Thanks so much to Robert Dean for reminding me about this but Kids in the Hall will be doing four shows at the Steve Allen Theater next month! Last time their shows sold out pretty fast but so far first night tickets are still available. So hurry! There’s a 4-ticket minimum per customer. EVENTS: THURSDAY,…

Fighting Turtles and Guerrilla Gay Bar at Brennan's

Last night I attended my first ever Guerrilla Gay Bar event. This one took place at Brennan’s Irish Pub in Marina Del Rey on a Thursday night instead of the usual weekend night. Apparently this was a risky switch since lots of people wrote to the GGB HQ complaining the venue was so far from…

Tonight's Guerrilla Gay Bar Target: Brennan's

Flickr Shot by itsxtian So the communique from GGB HQ has come in and Thursday’s target is Brennan’s Irish Pub in Marina Del Rey. I’m so excited about it. Ever since I heard about Guerrilla Gay Bar takeovers from Jonathan via comments on my Bar Lubitsch post, I’ve been wanting to check it out myself….

Montana Lounge's Long Kiss Good-Bye

First off, I guess I was unclear in my last post about Montana Lounge. Actually, SBE still owns the space and is using it until the Hillston Restaurant Group takes over and turns it into Cafe R&D. SBE is just keeping the liquor license active. This is all according to an insider source. She said…
