Day 142 – Truxton’s American Bistro
This was a nice little spot I wasn't expecting. It's a bistro so I generally only think of the food. But had to get my car serviced down the street and was thinking of a bar nearby I could wait at. The bar ...

Day 141 – El Torito
Mexican bar/restaurants are usually pretty much the same, at least when it comes to chains. El Torito, El Cholo, Los Amigos, all pretty much the same. Since I don't usually ...
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 ...
Day 129 – Solidarity
I had been to this place when it was a different bar, but since it was on my list I figured I'd check it out. The main area is a restaurant, but if you walk along the side it will take you to a nice outside patio area. They have ...
Day 124 – Cheesecake Factory

Day 115 – Bowlmor
This is actually in the middle of a bowling alley in Santa Monica. Since I play there occasionally I figured it would be the perfect time to check out their beer selection. Since the new chain of upscale bowling alleys have ...
Day 103 – 1212
Definitely a place I will never go back to. I brought some friends to check this place out and while the decor is nice, the service and prices are shit. It took forever to get the bartenders attention even though ...
Day 100 – Bubba Gump Shrimp Company
Well everyone knows about Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. I wouldn't normally use a place like this as a bar, but it turns out they have a decent bar and I was in the mood for a Lava Flow. My friend and I were at the Santa Monica pier and ...
Day 96 – Bar Chloe
Bar Chloe is near the Third Street Promenade. I was always against the place when I went once many years ago because of how ridiculously expensive it was. But since it was on my list this year I went with ...
Day 94 – Basement Tavern
The Basement Tavern is one of my favorite happy hour spots around. Now I would never go there at night on the weekend because you'll feel like you're in a sardine can from what I hear. They play music there on the weekends so ...
