Los Angeles

The latest from the Seven Grand/Varnish/Cole's guy is a barely-lit, fauxld-school saloon, with leather-booth-flanked tables made from 100yr-old wood, and a bar presided over by a stuffed steer, with a silly amount of boozes (including over 90 whiskeys) scrawled on wall-mounted blackboards, plus classic cocktails (Negronis, Sazeracs, etc) made from farmer's-market-fresh ingredients. For entertaining yourself, there's a pool table, a patio with ping-pong, and two encased diorama odes to Hunter Thompson full of vintage photos plus memorabilia celebrating the scribe's life (a replica of his trademark cigarette holder, a splayed out deck of playing cards, and a bottle of Wild Turkey) that aren't vintage, but possibly evidence of a gonzi scheme.
