Mini Bar Crawl 2k8

So after another typical shitty day at work, I went out with the one and only Jason Douthett. Despite temptations to hit up Rodney's, also known as the coolest bar in the world, I decided to get saucy and go elsewhere. Our first destination was Rocco's. Located on the Highland/Griffith border, it is a relatively new bar and I've never been there. We walked into a packed bar that was blaring death metal music. After waiting a long time for a beer, we stood there awkwardly as a girl was wished happy birthday by a chubby man jumping out of a box in boxer briefs. At first, it was kind of funny until the dude stood around in his underwear drinking a beer.

Next up was The Getaway. This was the only bar I've been to on our destination and also where we decided that we were going to do a bar crawl. We also realized that since I didn't get off of work until 12:15, we got a late start. The Getaway was definitely the nicest bar we attended but that's not saying much. We drank our $1.50 Michelob Ultra and left rather quickly.

After there, we went across the parking lot to the V.I.P. Lounge. I was kind of excited since I used to work for the owner at a previous job so I was hoping for a free beer. Unfortunately, he wasn't there so we had to pay for our beers then stand awkwardly again as half of the bar consisted of drunk, unattractive girls grinding on each other. Luckily, there was only 8 people in the bar so it wasn't too big of an orgy. I did get to see one of my fave Fam Vid customers Rick! He calls me Hot Rod based on my love of that movie so I didn't really want to talk to him in public.

Next, we went into the heart of Griffith for a bar Jason and I always wanted to go to: Mojo's. Unfortunately, at 1:30 it was already closed! We decided to get dangerous and go to the Griffith Tap. We walked in to a huge bar and a large amount of people. I guess there were multiple bands there and they offered all you can drink beer for 10 dollars. Normally a bargain, we decided against it since it was a sketchy crowd at best and we were only going to have one beer. I did get rather excited when I saw the $1 High Life everyday signs but they didn't honor that for some reason so I left with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Once we escaped the biker bar, we went next door to The Depot. This appeared to be more of a dinner/lounge place and there was only 5 people there. Good news did come to us quickly when the bartender told us that the credit card machine wasn't working so we finally did get our free beers! Unfortunately, I think she wanted more as she kept eyeing me creepily. We eventually left and tried to make one more bar for our night. As we drove around though, it looked like every bar in the nearby area was already closed which brought Mini Bar Crawl 2k8 to a close.
