Day 365 – Harvelle’s Blues Club
Harvelle's is a blues club in Santa Monica that has been around since 1931. They have another location in Long Beach as well, but I haven't been to that location. The Santa Monica location is one of the oldest ...

Day 364 – Settebello Pizzaria
I honestly had never heard of this place but it turns out to be a pizza/bar chain. The attentiveness could have been better, but the staff was friendly, the drinks were pretty good and their pizza was really good ...
Day 363 – Tavern Restaurant
I have to say that I have come across one of my new favorite bars. Even though I like cocktail bars, usually I'm not into the fancy kind. This place is also known because when President Obama would ...
Day 362 – Wokcano
Wokcano is a chain of Chinese restaurants primarily based in the Los Angeles area. I have never eaten there before so I can't comment on the food. This place reminds me of a P.F. Chang's. There really ...
Day 361 – Chez Tex

Day 357 – Tar & Roses
All I can say is "no thanks." While the bartender was nice, this is probably in the bottom 10 of places that I would go to. First off, there is no hard booze. It's primarily wine with maybe a dozen beers ...
Day 356 – Double Take
I must say that I was quite impressed with this place. Most people who know me know that I like all different types of bars, but preferably places that don't pour you a weak drink and charge you ...
