New Drink Recipe: Grand Slam!
Grand Slam
- 1 part vodka
- 1 part beer
That’s it…keep it simple, stupid!
History:
Our tough-guy buddy Army sauntered into a party we were throwing back in college. Desperate to prove his ultimate masculinity, he prompted our barkeep of the night, the Slave, to make him ‘the strongest drink you can think of’. Inspired by Dodgers catcher Russell Martin’s game-winning grand slam earlier in the night, the Slave cooked up the Grand Slam in his honor: throwing a few shots of vodka into a cup of beer, without the benefit of the lemonade that everyone else had mixed into it. Army took a sip, commented on how terrible it tasted (even accurately guessing the ingredients, to many laughs), and proceeded to down the whole thing.
Poker,
Tips:
- Do not order this in a bar – it does not “exist” in a classical sense.
- Do not ask a friend to make this for you – it is truly terrible.
- Give this to your worst enemies, and laugh at their misery and pain.
- Add lemonade and suddenly it’s tolerable, even borderline delicious!

Saturday Brunch at ZIMZALA!
Come on in to ZIMZALA RESTAURANT! Relax and enjoy some sun while sipping a cocktail and eating a delicious brunch on the terrace! $3 Margaritas and $5 Mimosas untill 3PM!
The Verdugo Bar
Imports galore!
Review and Overview: This is a cool spot
- Drinks ($$-$$$)
Primarily imports are somewhat on the pricey side, but delicious. The beers are generally massive, so you won’t care as much if you happen to drop $10 on one.
- Games
There is an outside patio in the back that is good for beer pong! Check it out, not everyone knows it’s back there.
- Events
Not really sure if they throw events here, but then again they probably do not need events.
- Staff
Are quite friendly and usually remember Ra and Chef due their drunken pasts. They are pretty attentive and the there are some pretty cute lady bartenders working there. Definitely a plus.
- Parking:
Only street parking, but generally this is not difficult to find.
- Cover/Line/Dress Code
No cover (of course) and I have never seen a line at this place. Dress code is casual, it is a hipster bar after all.
- Recommendation
Get there earlier rather than later so that you can get a table or post up at the bar. Once the crowd comes in, finding a place for your mug will be hard to find. Also try the Bourbon County Stout (if it’s in stock), it is delicious!

3408 Verdugo Road
Los Angeles, CA 90065
- Phone
(323) 257-3408
Information:
Located off of Verdugo (East Verdugo) and W. Avenue 34. There is a sign outside that says “Cocktails”
Our History:
What is funny about this particular location is that Chef and Ra have there experiences with this place, while my friend House and I have ours. Regardless this was a nice change of pace from the neighborhood bars we would frequent during our college days. Chef and Ra discovered this place and became regulars to the point that the entire staff knew them. At some other point House and I hit this place in hopes of finding a new bar to hang out. At any rate, we all liked this spot.
Why It’s Cool:
The location is inconspicuous and interior is much nicer than it lets on. The bar is dark with the light coming mostly from the bar and the lamps along the wall. For such a small bar is surprisingly accommodating for patrons. There are plenty of bar stools and a wall of tables. In the back room there are lounge couches as well.
When we started coming here, we immediately noticed the long list of imported beers. Though the prices were higher than we were used to, we had no complaints. The bottles they gave us were much larger than expected. This place was definitely a well kept secret. We had a pretty good time until the hipsters showed up.
Yes, this is a hipster bar. It is not surprising since the bar is in the Eagle Rock/Highland Park area. Definitely not the bar I would go to talk to women. However if you are down chill with your friends, this is a cool spot. They have a laundry list of amazing beers you can’t find in most places!

Jake’s of Pasadena
It looks like a simple burger shack…
Review and Overview: This is a cool spot
- Drink ($-$$)
There is a decent selection here. Don’t expect the variety that you would find at other Pasadena watering holes like Barney’s or Yardhouse, but then again you don’t actually come here for the drinks ironically.
- Food ($-$$)
This is where it all comes together. If nothing else, Jake’s is known for its superb burger selection. The choices seem limitless once you grab the “Make You Own Burger” menu.
- Games
One word, Billiards. If you like playing pool, you’ll love Jakes. While it looks like a mediocre burger joint from the outside, Jake’s true secret lies underground. Here you will find a bar to your right and a pool hall to your left. This place is excellent for groups and does not have they dingy feeling that pool halls have. They also have beer pong, which if memory serves, you can play on request
- Events
Events have been thrown here before, though it doesn’t appear that this happens too often. Honestly the place doesn’t need to throw events to bring in a crowd.
- Staff
There are really only a handful of people you will notice right away, but they are all chill. The bartenders handle your orders downstairs, the servers handle your orders upstairs, and the bouncers make sure everything stay cool.
- Parking
As with Barney’s I recommend parking in the garage on Fair Oaks and Green if you can find street parking.
- Cover/Line/Dress Code
No cover, No line, and of course casual.

Information:
In the middle of Old Town Pasadena on Colorado. Can’t miss it, it’s been there since the 1940s.
Our History:
We would come to Jake’s to just hang out in a large group. Though we did this often, there was one night in particular that jumps out at me. W were bar bopping and wound up at Jake’s. We went downstairs, got beers, and attempted to get a pool table. Unfortunately all of the tables were taken at the time. Instead the bartenders let us know that we could play Beer Pong!
So that’s what we did. They brought out this thin table and we set up our cups. Before we knew it, everyone in the bar was interested in our pseudo beer pong tournament we had running. It was pretty epic and we’ve been back ever since.
Why We Like It:
This the perfect place to hang. First you are in Old Town Pasadena, which is a perfect spot for groups. You can drink, play pool and chill on their couches. Then when you’ve had your fill and are done with the night, go upstairs and get yourself a burger or your choosing. This is a pretty solid place to check out.
