My favorite is as always, Molotov's. Gotta love the smell of a punk rock dive. ;) -

Fri, December 24, 2004 - 7:42 PMI live in Chehalis WA. and there is a place called the Olympic Club. It is a restaurant, bar, pool hall, movie theatre, and hotel all in one. The bartenders (who I am just getting to know) know their drinks well but the beer on tap (Mcminamins) rocks....especitally the nitro.

Fri, March 11, 2005 - 6:45 PMHey, Flamingo, my family and I stop at the Olympic Club every so often when we get my son from his dad's for his visitations. I haven't had anything from the bar yet, but it's a cool place, for sure.

Eccolo, 4th street Berkeley
Sat, March 12, 2005 - 7:59 AMWe went in last night for dinner to celebrate our third anniversary. We had a Hemingway daiquiri that was "to die for."
Personally I've usually had trouble getting the lime/grapefruit balance right - this was perfect. If they had chilled the glass, I would have given the drink a "10."
The Negroni we had was very good too.
The menu said they use Myers Platinum Rum, wonder how much of a difference that makes - I usually use Bacardi. -

Sun, March 13, 2005 - 2:06 PMIf you like martini's especially of the Vodka persuasion I highly recomend Voda in SF really cool martini menu, with things like Pomedgranate, apple spice and ginger.
It's also a very hip place, with very modern decor.

Re: Your FAVORITE Watering Hole
Wed, March 16, 2005 - 7:23 AMBirdie's in Decatur GA (the martinis are faaaabulous)
Toppers in Santa Monica (for the view, laid back vibe & margaritas)
Roosters in Ogden Utah (for the Bees Knees microbrew)
The Cowboy Bar in Mountain View Wyoming (because Darlene pours 3 shots of gin in one drink)!
Blue Fin in NYC (for the signature blue fin martini & incredible sushi) -

Sat, March 19, 2005 - 3:11 PMI had something called an Oregon City Lemonade at a McMenamin's in...wait for it...Oregon City, OR! It was sooo good, lemonade with raspberry vodka, pear brandy and a splash of soda. Served in a martini glass. Mommy had two!
I guess I'm saying the McMenamin Brothers are doing good all over the Northwest.

Aub Zum Zam is still there, but Bruno went to the big martini shaker in the sky. I think the bar is owned by a couple of women now. -

Fri, March 25, 2005 - 10:49 PMThank you Doctor!
Yep, Bruno was the personality of that place.
It's helpful to reconnect all of my damaged
synapses with the right spellings and names! ;-)
Thanks! -

Re: Your FAVORITE Watering Hole
Thu, June 30, 2005 - 12:39 AMIn SF, for cocktails, the Red Room. For guilty pleasures and watching the trannies flag down johns (two separate hobbies, i assure you) the Lush Lounge.
In Oakland, cuz I can't help it, starting at Van Kleef's, then bouncing between singing at The Alley and shooting pool at Smitty's until I can't see straight..
my roommate, though, is my favorite bartender, and no one mixes 'em meaner. Here's to Sunday Bloody(mary) Sunday on Monday...
