The importance of urinal ads

That means you!

Typically, when I go pubbing I take the train. Old Town, Little Tokyo, East LA, LA LIVE, Hollywood, etc. - without any driving - via LA's Metro subway? (Yes a train to West LA and the Ocean would be killer, but....)

Until then, when out hitting your favorite bars, clubs and restaurants - too intoxicated to drive - dial up #TAXI from your cell phone.

I don't know what it is........but sitting in the back of a cab is always a little bit more fun the back of a squad car. But maybe that's just me.

Some cheap home brew at The Green Room

3.00 a pint, except when on special

The Green Room is basically a coffee bar that also serves beer, including their own home brew. Usually, home brew is 3.00 a pint, but the Green Room often runs specials that can reduce the cost of a pint to about 2 bucks.

This might be a great place for a beer when not everyone in your group is legal, or maybe they'd just rather have a cup of coffee. The Green Room feels very much like your college coffee shop.

Regardless, The Green Room is a young hip spot for a cheap brew just off the Hollywood and Highland Red Line Metro station.

Unfortunately, I'm just not that young any more.

Best happy hour on the Red Line - Snow White Cafe

34 ounces of Stella for 7.00

Damn, just spent 7.00 for my last pint of beer. Of course, I didn't compain. This is Hollywood. Still, if only I had checked out the Snow White Café first.

I've been to the Snow White before. Its one of those odd places just perfect for Hollywood. Pictures of dwarfs and Snow White everywhere. Even the bar makes you feel like a dwarf.

Still, im not here for the godamned décor. Im here for 34 ounces of beautiful happy hour. Any 34 ounces of beer that Snow White has on tap for only 7.00!!

How can you go wrong? Plus, that happy hour is offered from 1 to 7, SEVEN days a week.

And if you're a Metro rider, then the Hollywood and Highland Red Line station is only a block away. So have two, take the train home, and call me in the morning.

Lunch at uWink, happy hour later

A glimpse of the cocktail future?

I'm here at Hollywood and Highland - kicking it like a tourist. But, lets get real for a second. If you coordinate your life around the Metro, then Hollywood and Highland is pretty cool, even if you're not a tourist.

Anyway, I've got some shoes to find, so I thought I'd stop by uWink, located on the fourth floor of the mall, for lunch.

OK. I'm lying. I'm here for a quick one, but I've not yet had any luck finding shoes.

Anyway, you can't get a whole lot closer to the Red Line, and there are screens everywhere for you to order food and drinks, to watch the big game, or to play games.

I was not the big zillionaire winner today.

Even if you come by yourself you can still play group games. I know. I'm here and it still sounds corny. Yet, a few drinks are the perfect goggles for such elitism, especially if a few hotties are drinking next to you.

And, they have a happy hour, where almost everything is 4.00. Sure, it isn't the greatest happy hour ever, but this is Hollywood.

Anyway, YT and Wong Will have to come back for a happy hour trip to see what the crowd is like then.
