Day 155 – The Brig
I hadn't been here in many many years but I thought I would take a stab at it again. Located on Abbot Kinney, there are only a couple of bars, all of which way overcharge. This place is ...

Day 154 – The Arsenal
It's too bad this place went downhill. They used to have a great happy hour including food. So I go in after being gone for a while and they became one of those bars that ...
Day 153 – Rick’s Tavern
Don't waste your time or money. This place used to be a good dive/sports bar back in the day. But then they went and tried to revamp it and was an epic fail. It's like someone who tries to ...
Day 152 – Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern
I didn't realize this place was a chain but it was awesome. I tried to go to another place that was a few doors down but was packed so I thought I'd give this place a try. I'm glad I did ...

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

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 ...
