Best Bar Food Ever! You wouldn't think by judging the outside of this Toluca Lake Irish pub that Timmy Nolan's would have some of the best bar food I've ever eaten. I could honestly eat there everyday. It's delicious, healthy, and the menu is huge with assorted flavors for just about any pallette! Some of my favorite Timmy Nolan's eats - Seared Ahi Tuna Salad, Chicken Joseph, Light & Healthy Taco Salad (chicken or ground beef- both are excellent!), and Chicken County Clare (chicken breast sandwich with avocado and swiss cheese on an onlion roll- yum!)

Dining at the Buff Is an ultra-chic experience. The inside of the restaurant is pure "Old Hollywood" with a 1920's inspired feel of glamour and decadence. The outside patio is entirely different and is decorated with Chinese tea lights; giving it a glowing zen ambient atmosphere. It's a great first-dinner-date place if you're looking for something with a sexy low-key romantic vibe!

Barney's is a Blast! Barney's is one of my favorite laid back sports bar/restaurant. The menu has so much to choose from I don't think I've ever eaten the same thing twice (unless I wanted to) because there's so much to choose from! It's a fun ecclectic atmosphere of young professionals and sports lovers. I've been daring (several times) after enough greygoose and soda to get up and do some karaoke which is hosted by Melissa McQueen on Sunday and Wednesday nights at 10p.m.

Anything Goes The Abbey is a "free-spirited" West Hollywood hangout I frequent on occasion with my gay friends. Going there is definitely not a typical night out for me but it can be a whole lot of fun and attention from the opposite-attracted mostly male crowd! Although I had my hesitations at first about how I'd fit in, I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly and [not to leave out] smokin hot the guys were. I didn't feel out of place for even a second. In fact, I may have tempted a few to switch their pitch ;) ok ok, maybe not really, but a gal can still fantasize right?!

Beautiful Beso Large mirrored walls, chandeliers and lighting set a picture-perfect "first date" atmosphere. Beso is absolutely stunning. As if the restaurant (on the first floor) isn't enough to attract regulars there is a hot lounge upstairs, "kiss lounge." I usually go on Thursday nights.

Delicious Delux Love this place. Sexy, classy, upscale. Dimly lit by beautiful chandeliers. Gorgeous people. I always have a great time here.

Got Crazy at the Crazy Horse This place is wild! It was a bit of a drive for me but worth it for a change of scenery from my usual Hollywood or Southbay adventures. It's fun to mix it up sometimes! I had a blast. The dj on the outside patio was spinning some hot house music and my friends and I hung out there most of the night especially since it was really packed inside and harder to squeeze past the crowd to get drinks!

I Loved Avalon! My girlfriends took me to Avalon to celebrate my birthday last weekend on Saturday night. It was awesome! I'd never been there before but had heard other people's past stories (mostly great reviews) It was larger than I'd expected and I was very impressed right away. There were multiple rooms with different types of music. The drinks were reasonably priced and the bartenders were very friendly. I noticed they gave everyone free bottles of water (which is rare-- good looking out for everyone's health, safelty, and hydratrion!)
