LA Drunks?

[Minx]

Stu and I are headed to LA for a weekend in May. Santa Monica area. Where to drink?

Minxy! Talk to Skot if you can. He took me to a sweet bar in Santa Monica that sold fries in a mini-shopping cart and had a bunch of sweet brews on tap.

PS... is this "Stu", Lex Luthor? Has he an alias these days?

That would be "My Father's Office" on Montana Avenue. It's beer & wine only, but it's a GREAT selection of beers. Food is good too.

My favorite "old skool" (circa 1959) joint right down on Ocean near the pier is Chez Jay. Jay is no longer with us, but his spirit is. It's really a restaurant, but the bar is pretty great. Peanut shells litter the floor, etc. I met MOL and Dr. DB there years ago when I was down there one of many work trips.

Another great old place down on Main that's even predates Chez Jay is The Galley. Again, it's a restaurant, but the bar is fun.

Harvelle's is a great old blues/jazz club. Just ask Peetie.

There are a fair number of bars in SM, most touristy or lame, and some rather interesting. I can shoot you some other recommendations if you want me to. Just let me know the criteria that makes a great bar for you.

Nice to know that y Martini's father's shop is one of the best places for drunkards.

Have you ever considered writing a tour guide?

HA!! Thanks, but that's WAAAAYYY too much effort... that writing thing. Besides, I'd need a Central Valley correspondent to cover territory I never get to.

I grew up in Modesto... there is nothing in the Central Valley worth a drunk of your caliber.
