Why buy a week when you can get the weekend for free.
PERK ALERT
An Intimate Date in a Speakeasy...
Your next date will require a few magic words and/or a telescope. Because we’ve arranged a wine-and-cheese
tryst for you in the
password-protected speakeasy Next Door Lounge, and dinner with cocktails at the
Roof on Wilshire. Also, this is your last chance for membership at The Standard Downtown’s new
ping-pong/social club, SPiN. Time’s ticking...
FORK IN THE ROAD
Oysters and Donuts at littlefork
The world can be a cruel place. Sometimes you have to go one place for oysters and some other place for
donuts. Unless you go to littlefork, the forward-thinking new seafood-heavy Hollywood spot that serves both.
Randy’s is always out of oysters.
- 411:
- Opens Jan 4, littlefork, 1600 Wilcox Ave, Hollywood, 323-465-3675
GARAGE ROCK
A Garage That’s Really a Sports Bar
Yes, this garage-themed sports bar from the South guys has more than a dozen flat-screens. But it also has a
nicer, pubbier second room called the Motor Club—for when you want no view of the game whatsoever. Great
for dates. Or halftime.
- 411:
- Now open, The Garage, 3387 Motor Ave, 310-559-3400
RESOLUTIONARY ROAD
A Half-Marathon After Dark
If you haven’t gotten started on those resolutions yet, you should lace up and bang out a quick
half-marathon on Saturday night—hey look, it’s the inaugural New Year’s Race—before you hit the
bars. To be clear, you resolved to hit more bars.
- 411:
- Jan 5, 9pm, The New Year’s Race, starting line at 7th St and Grand Ave, Downtown, 213-627-8484
PIE THE PINT
Pizza Beer Is Upon Us
Getting east to check out Maximiliano might not be easy—you know, traffic—but consider they now have a
keg of pizza beer. Yes, pizza beer. It’s made by Craftsman Brewing Company, it’s got oregano and thyme,
and it’s only available here. Now if someone would just get started on beer pizza...
- 411:
- Now on tap at Maximiliano, 5930 York Blvd, Highland Park, 323-739-6125
