5.0 out of 5 stars Put down your tea and grab your honey...to the bars we go, May 25, 2004

By A Customer

Frank has put together a great selection of bars from Santa Monica to Pasadena. He loads each review with little tidbits that are seldom known by even the most travel worn Angelenos: Irish commanders leading Mexican troops past the current day Molly Malone's, the biggest sports bar in the world on Santa Fe Street (which unfortunately closed at Prohibition), and Walt Disney's first studio...just down the street from the Ye Olde Rustic Inn.

It's a good book to have laying next to your Zagats guide when planning an excursion to a new part of town.

THis book is a great trail map for bars in Los Angeles. Mr. Mulvey is a truly likable man with a genuine interest in the semi-lost tradition of decent dives. The format of the book is convienent and has within it, a lot of interesting facts and anecdotes. If you are interested in bars, or if you aren't, this is the book for you. It will bring you up to speed about what's cool in LA.

Although this book was published in 2001, the majority of the bars included still exist now in 2009 as they are truly classics. But my personal favorite parts of this compilation are what the Author calls "side bars" that divulge little known information about those places, as well as the inclusion of some fabulous Hollywood film quotes. It's a great read and loads of fun!
