by Jesus Velastegui on Watched WS game 2 at Tavern on Broad. I had not previously been there since the Zanzibar Blue days, never actually made it to the Speakeasy. Anyway, like Greg L., I found myself there because a friend of mine said it was a decent spot to watch the game. Our first choice was McGillan's, but as we expected it was overflowing by 6 pm. The Fox and the Hound has too many out-of-town fans for my liking, despite the close proximity to my home. Anyway, the positives to Tavern on Broad where their draft specials, which included a 5-8 pm half-off happy hour special, then from 8-12 was $2.50 domestics. Craft drafts for $2.50 for a few hours then switching over to the light stuff to finish out the night was nice. I believe their 5-8 happy hour is every weeknight, but the 8-12 special was probably related to the game, we didn't ask. The crowd was mixed and into the game, which was cool. By the time the game started the place was packed. I looked at their website and it looks like they are trying be a nightclub on the weekends, at which point you will not find me there. Their TVs were serviceable for the game, but something was causing them to have a wavy distortion. During commercials they played pop music, which was fine. The acoustics were good when playing music, but not so much for the game. It was hard to hear much of the broadcast. We also ordered some food which was just average. The bright spot was their hand-cut fries which were nice to munch on during the game. The bartenders were very friendly, Marissa, I believe her name was, took very good care of us, almost too good by how quickly my beers were being replenished-then drained-it's the WS, my nerves were wrecked! I am tempted to give it a 4 for the cheap beers and great bartending, but due to the atmosphere being a little on the generic side, I am going to say 3. I will likely return to Tavern on Broad for a happy hour sometime in the future.
by Howard Carrano on Bring out your best Jermaine and Brett because they have Flight of the Conchord Karaoke! I totally missed it on the front pages so i didn't get to sing it right away. Songs include: "The Most Beautiful girl", "Hippopotamus and rhymenocerous" and a few more.. Now only if they had "the Humans are dead." I've been working on my Binary free-stylin'...
by gabriel c. on Minx is where its at!! Been doing the club scene for quite a while now, and I must say Minx is off the chain!! I would go every Saturday when Lori and Herrick Hell promoted it. I went one day after they stopped and it was wack! Place was half empty and there was like 10 guys to every girl. But now that there back it is better than ever!! So many beautiful people, No Dram, No Gangsters (like most LA Clubs). I always have the best time when I go to Minx Saturday nights!!! Thank you Lori you are the best....
