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

Day 137 – Founders Ale House
Was quite disappointed with this place. The look of the place is awesome. Open space, open windows but terrible service. They had several bartenders and instead of taking my order they ...
Day 136 – K Bar
I love this place. So this is a sushi restaurant with a nice sized bar in the center. It has an awesome look to it, plus a TV in every corner to watch any game that happens to be on. The restaurant ...
