Answer
bars
Best Singles Bar: Blue 32 Hermosa Beach. Vegas meets the beach. One of the best nights is Thursday when beach locals meet and mingle. A backup would be Perhaps Woody's Wharf in Newport Beach.
⢠Best Live Music Venue. The Whiskey, Sunset Strip. It gave birth to The Doors and Guns 'N Roses, among others, and continues to rock and roll.
⢠Best Music: The Room, Hollywood. Featuring up-and-coming deejays, this long-standing Hollywood haunt attracts people from all over L.A.
⢠Best Local Band Bar: The Mint, Hollywood. New and established local musicians clamor to get the chance to play in this small venue.
⢠Best Mai Tai Bar: The Mai Tai Bar, Long Beach. With this name, it better be good. Such is the case and the "Hang 10 Happy Hour" from 8-11, the signature drink is just $4. The patio overlooking the Queen Mary and harbor is nice and so is the crowd.
⢠Best Upscale Bar: The Polo Lounge, Beverly Hills Hotel. Tradition counts for something. You can just feel the power deals going down in this place, both past and present. Plus the garden patio makes for a great stroll.
⢠Best "Hollywood Scene" Bar: Sky Bar, West Hollywood. Cindy Crawford married the owner. Need we say more?
⢠Best Pub: Sonny McLean's, Santa Monica. It's more than the air hockey game, pool table, dart boards, 20-plus beers on tap and a tiered room with a comfortable couch. It's the people both behind and in front of the bar that make this one friendly tavern. Transplanted Bostonians watch all the games here.
⢠Best Sunday Afternoon Bar: Longtime locals love the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasis. For those in Orange County, it's Las Brisas in Laguna Beach.
⢠Best Funky Bar: Tiki Ti, Hollywood. With Goldfinger's goine, how about the Tiki Ti, a small dive with a Polynesian theme. Wednesdays are half-priced drinks. With what they serve here, that's not necessarily a good thing.
⢠Best Dive Bar: Shellback Tavern, Manhattan Beach. With very local crowd, a view of the Pacific and the Best Bloody Marys in town, this off-the-beach bar is as comfortable as a well-work pair of sandals. As a bonus, it's rocking on weekends with 20s and 30s.
It's hot in Hermosa on Thursdays at Patrick Molloy's.
⢠Best Bar Promotion: Coyote Ugly Night, Patrick Molloy's, Hermosa Beach. Girls dancing on bars in conservative California would be enough, but add to it sexy models, gals in cowboy hats pouring shots from tables and a rollicking crowd, and this Thursday night bar event is a show and a scene. Starts at 11 but be there by 10.
⢠Best On-going Bar Promotion: Taco Tuesday. From Pacific Palisades to Orange County, this is a long-standing tradition for Southern California coastal cantinas. This first-of-the-week social scene-setter is less about the food and drink specials than the atmosphere it creates. Still, the best tacos are the marinated steak at OB's in Manhattan Beach. Two of these el gorditos will satisfy any appetite â unless you want to go for 10 and your name on a plaque. The place is small, so grab a couple of drinks and wait for a table to open.
⢠Best Tiny Dive: The Harbor Room, Playa del Rey. This is the smallest bar in Los Angeles. It is soooo local, it cashes checks for regulars. Where else in this city can one hear Merle Haggard's "Okie From Muskogee" on a juke box?
⢠Best Tropical Drinks: Trader Vics, Beverly Hills. The bartenders dress in lab coats to make up their magical potions. An L.A. tradition.
⢠Best "Fun" Restaurant: The Mad Greek, Sherman Oaks. Good food,a festive environment and a fun and friendly staff. Plus, they often seat you at a table with strangers, making it easy to meet new friends.
