Day 160 – Michael’s Pub
I had attempted to go to another place but service sucked so I went to this place. It is a true dive. They have a decent bar selection, pool, darts, sports, but the furniture is pretty old and ...

Day 158 – Tattle Tale Room
Tattle Tale Room is a dive bar in Culver City in the same shopping center as another dive bar called Scarlet Lady. They do karaoke on the weekends, has a pool table and is definitely ...
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 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 127 – Copper Bucket
This is definitely one of my favorite spots in the valley. You don't even need a happy hour with this place. I went during the day and for a big strong bourbon it was $3.25. Not only that ...
Day 122 – Petie’s Place
This was another hole in the wall I was not expecting to like as much as I did. Located in Tarzana, it looks like they have quite a few music shows that go on here. Luckily I ...

Day 119 – The Office Downtown
This is one of my favorite dive bars in El Segundo. Located in a strip mall it's got everything I look for in a bar - strong drinks, tv's, and they have a wheel they spin and whatever drink it lands on you can order that shot for ...
