These guys have a great inventory, keeping a solid stock of Buffyverse trades and comics.  They also know their Buffyverse info pretty well - not perfectly, but pretty well - and better than most.

Best Valley Boozin' Joints (11)

Do you need a drink? or instead do you need LOTS of drinks?

These are places where, sure, you could have *A* drink, but what got them on this list was how good a place they are for boozin' - should that be something you care for.

Factors that get places on this list are:
  Booze Variety,
  Atmosphere, and
  $$$-to-Alcohol Ratio.
