Cruising down the streets of downtown LA, I was soaking in the city vibes when something caught my eye—a stunning mural of the late Kobe Bryant. As I admired this beautiful tribute, my attention was drawn to a red, lighted arrow and a line of people eagerly waiting to get in. At first, I figured it must be for the taco stand nearby (because, let’s be real, LA loves its tacos), but to my surprise, it was for the Holiday Bar. >

I recently dropped by Bar Louie in Northridge, CA, and I have to say, I left with a pretty positive impression. The vibe here is warm and inviting, with cozy lighting that makes you feel right at home. The main bar is centrally located, creating a focal point that draws you in, and the strategically placed TVs are perfect for catching sports events while you sip your drink. >

I recently revisited The Tipsy Crow, a bar I hadn’t been to in about six years—pre-COVID—and I'm so glad I did. Not only did this place survive the tough pandemic years, but it seems like they used that time to fine-tune everything. Walking into The Tipsy Crow again felt like a nostalgic trip, filled with not just great beer and cocktail options but also a lively energy from friendly guests and staf. >

I recently attended a private birthday party at Arts District Brewery, located in the vibrant Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles. This venue is more than just a brewery; it’s a haven for beer lovers and game enthusiasts alike. With reserved tables for our group, we had an incredible time enjoying all that this unique spot has to offer. >
