Day 92 – Vito’s
So this place used to be a cool bar named McCabe's which unfortunately closed for a while and I was passing by when I saw this place pop up. It looks similar to Shakey's pizza where you have the long bench tables where ...

Day 82 – North Italia
North Italia is an Italian Restaurant and Bar chain throughout the country. The one I went to was in Santa Monica near the Promenade. Normally I’m not into places like this but the atmosphere was pretty cool I must say. Nice open space ...
Day 77 – El Cholo
This is mostly known as a Mexican restaurant, but they have a large bar area separate from the restaurant. While you can still order food, I prefer to stick with a liquid diet. The pours are okay, and there isn’t much of a happy hour, hence why ...
Day 75 – The Independence
The Independence location has changed over many times. Most of the places that were there were really good, and even though it was in prime location, for some reason it would always be empty. This place seems to be busy most of the time ...
Day 74 – Brick+Mortar
To me this place always had a cold vibe. It’s just plain concrete and doesn’t feel warm and comforting like most bars. What I also find odd is that you must have the INTENT to eat there. Not sure if it’s part of their license or the reasoning behind it, but ...
Day 71 – Lula Cocina Mexicana
This is a Mexican restaurant with a bar located on Main Street in Santa Monica. This place has been around for a long time, but unfortunately not one of my go-to places. There are maybe about 5-6 tables in the bar area and maybe about 4 seats at the bar. But ...
Day 68 – Ma’kai
Originally I was trying to go to a different bar but it turned out their happy hour had already ended so I decided to go to this place instead. I’m glad I did. I didn’t have the food, but ...
Day 61 – Ye Olde Kings Head
This place has been around forever. Located by the beach in Santa Monica, I grew up knowing this place to always being around. Not a place I had really visited and ...

Day 59 – Daily Grill
The location I went to is the one located in Santa Monica across from The Corner Restaurant and Bar. This place is pretty busy for happy hour, so I’d suggest getting there early or you ...
Day 57 – The Corner Restaurant and Bar
If you are looking for just a bar to go to, I’d suggest going elsewhere. Don’t get me wrong, the service is great, they have an outdoor area, but considering it’s in a business district with limited ...
