Really?  Did this just happen?  Did a bar open mere miles from my house that serves as a gateway to the rich micro-brew community that has malted in California?  Thankfully, Erin surprised me and told me that Tony's Darts Away was opening tonight.  I…More »

    I was unfaithful to Eagle Rock Brewery in their own tap room. I love Solidarity, Revolution, and… Read more »

Four (4) Stars for beer selection and taps.

Pizza is fine to eat post washing down with a beer but not the draw.

I have to give Tony props (and four stars) having been a fan of Tony's Darts Away and received an ROTD for my Yelp post.  The beer is king…More »

The tap selection at Library Alehouse is reason enough for me to head to Santa Monica.  About 60% of the taps are expected, respectable beers... but the remaining taps, especially those dedicated to a two week Belgian Beer festival, offer unique more…More »

BEER eclection is off-the hook, great selection of unique brews.
(like that contraction between eclectic and selection, don't you... think it'll catch on?)

Thank god they offer an affordable sampler so  I was able to taste four malty brews:

Quality of beer selection is top notch in terms of California and Belgian beers.  For some reason I wanted an English pub to carry German beers, but I think that's more of a bad on my part.

I had jalapeno poppers and fish and chips along with two…More »

Price is right at this place for a beer, burger, and more.  Three TVs cover most of the NFL action.  Henry's Hat has better burger... but not when price is considered. $5.99 at Blue Dog, something like $11.99 at Henry's Hat. Convenient location off…More »

Lots of taps... 32 to be exact and an extensive bottle list.  I enjoyed a Maredsous Brune and Erin had a sour. The ground rib-eye hamburger did not disappoint. Order blue cheese dressing with your fries but pour it on the burger ad I did. Yummy!…More »

High priced beers, but worth paying to hangout in the space.  I've attempted to go twice around 11pm and opted not to squeeze myself into the crowded space.  Came back at 1am and was pleased to have a stool at the bar with a sparse and chill crowd.…More »

Gastropubs (13)

Favorite gastropus from a guy who loves gastropubs.  Picking out all the gastropubs in the places I've lived and eaten.

Quest for a Breakfas Burrito (10)

My favorite breakfast burrito just went legendary on me and disappeared. That delicious, hangover curative breakfast was served up at Antojitos de la Abuelita - a taco truck in North Hollywood.  The truck'spulled out of [P]ark and driven off to unknown destinations.

I'm designating breakfast burritos as Mexican or Gringo and designating them as Highly Recommended, Recommended, Recommended with reservations or Not Recommended (a la Cook's Illustrated).                                                      

Highly Recommended:
#1 Mexican: Antojitos de la Abuelita (North Hollywood)
#2 Mexican: Tony's Mexican Grills (Valley Village)
#1 Gringo: Corner Cottage (Burbank)

Recommended
#2 Mexican: Manzano Tacos
#2 Gringo: Eat

Not Recommended
Mexican: El Chavo (refried beans overpower taste), Papas Y Tacos (not satisfying on flavor), Casita Taco Al Carbon (not delicious)

Places to take my nieces (1)

Places I want to have at hand when nieces are visiting so we have some nearby activities.

Until I can afford to buy my beach house in San Clemente this little list is how I'll need to maintain my connection to my dream of Orange County beach living in California.

Uber cute retail and eating spots on Santa Monica's Main Street.  F**k 3rd Street Promenade.  This is the place to shop and experience Los Angeles.
