Favorite hangout bars

Where do you just chill and drink?

Sometimes you just want to go to your neighborhood bar, or a bar just down the street from where you work - a place to relax and have a few drinks. A hangout bar.

I used to go to the Cave, a great little bar in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles pictured on the left. Unfortunately, every time I stumbled out of that joint - and I always stumbled out - I wished I hadn't drank so much, but that's the CAVE, especially if you arrive early. Still, if ever in the area, this is a place worth checking out.

These days my hangout bar is the 35er in Old Towne Pasadena, especially on Fridays. It's just a for some good conversation and cool bartenders. So, if you check the place out, tell Bobby I sent you.
