Day 141 – El Torito

Day 140 – The Other Door
This was also an unexpected gem. I had some time to kill in North Hollywood so I looked up what was around and this is what came up. The bartender was a complete ...
Day 139 – MacLeod Ale Brewing Company
If I didn't read about this online I would have never known it was there. It's located in Van Nuys, but it's in a residential part of town so you would never expect it. It's a nice sized brewery with ...
Day 138 – Tinhorn Flats Saloon
I LOVE this place. It's a true saloon. Yes, actual saloon doors. Excellent food, great drinks, good atmosphere, and the owner was exceptionally nice. He went out of his way to ...
Day 137 – Founders Ale House

Day 136 – K Bar

Day 133 – Ujpest Sports Lounge
This is a Hungarian bar located in Van Nuys. Not sure exactly what makes it a Hungarian bar since it looks like any other dive bar. You have your pool tables, your karaoke, and ...
Day 132 – The Culver Hotel
There are some things I love about this place. I love the look and the old school feel to it. Plus the history of it. This is where the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz stayed. Fun fact ...
