I’ve been eyeing the St. Patrick’s Day specials going around Twitter all week and have finally decided on one – in Hollywood. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a ton of other options available.

There may or may not be enough places to eat or drink in the block on 6th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The problem: Where is the bar in all of Los Angeles specializing in tequila at which the drink menu isn’t automatically reduced to a range of flavored margaritas? Las Perlas – which only [...]

The bad news is, I rarely blog on the weekends. The good news is, the second of two days of The Hungry Cat’s 5-year Anniversary Celebration is today, all day - therefore, there’s still time to take advantage.
The celebratory special isn’t shabby, either. How is 50% off specialty cocktails, draft beer and all bottles of wine?! [...]

So. What are you doing tonight?
It’s a good night as any to head downtown as Radio Room returns to The Edison. If you don’t already know, Radio Room is a sometimes-monthly event with only the best mixologists flown in from top bars from all over. Tonight, it’s Joseph Brooke – of Santa Monica’s Copa d’Oro and winner [...]
