Day 151 – Lucille’s
Lucille's is a bbq chain restaurant/bar. The one I went to was in Culver City. The food was decent but there are several better bbq places on the westside. Not many, but several. But ...

Day 150 – Rocky’s Family Bar & Grill
I sure hope this persons name was Rocky the third because if you're naming it after Rocky Part 3, you named it after the worst one. This place reminds me of an old school ...
Day 149 – A-Frame
The reason this place is called A-Frame because it's built like an A-Frame house. It has a homey feel to it, like a cabin in the woods. They didn't have a massive selection of booze but ...
Day 148 – W Hotel Bar
I don't generally like hotel bars because they do a measured pour and overcharge. But this was Memorial Day and was with a bunch of friends at the W Hotel enjoying the pool so we figured ...
Day 147 – Carlito’s Way Cocktails
This was a place I was not expecting to like. It is in a strip mall, was small, quiet (which I usually like), until 2 customers came in and they were a bit loud and obnoxious. So I had my drink ...
Day 146 – Big Dean’s Oceanfront Cafe
How I've lived in Santa Monica all my life and I've never been to this place. Probably because there is no hard booze and I wasn't much of a beer guy. That sure has changed. It's all ...
Day 145 – Finn McCool’s
Finn McCool's is an Irish bar on Main street in Santa Monica. I've always loved the name, and I like that it has a large bar area. What I don't like is that there are these little hidden corners where the bartender ...
Day 144 – The Backhouse
I never knew about this place until I was looking up places nearby. This is a sushi place but they have a great happy hour. They have happy hour 4-6:30 and 10-close everyday. I had a couple ...
Day 143 – The Terrace Cafe
This place is located right on the strand of Venice. They have a decent selection of beers on tap, but from what I heard the food isn't great. I only came here to drink which is fine, but ...
Day 142 – Truxton’s American Bistro
This was a nice little spot I wasn't expecting. It's a bistro so I generally only think of the food. But had to get my car serviced down the street and was thinking of a bar nearby I could wait at. The bar ...
