There are likely others but for quality, taste, and honest drinks you’d be hard-pressed to find better.

The Violet Hour is run by true drink nerds with amazingly creative talents. On top of that the bartenders are not only capable but eager to take your likes and creating something on the spot. I have found very few places confident and creative enough to do such a thing. And for that they have my undying love and respect.

Tommy’s is the simply the best for margaritas and ultra high quality sipping tequila. If you think Cuervo when tequila is mentioned you have got to make a trip to Tommy’s. They have near one hundred 100% agave tequilas! Every margarita (“nectar of the G-d’s” as they call it) is made to order with fresh squeezed lime and taste tested by the talented bartenders. Say hello to Julio, the owner, if you go!

Happy Saturday!

Hey BBQ fans, I want to turn you on to a new BBQ joint that has opened in Berkeley, California called Looney’s BBQ! It’s authentic smoked meats, sauces, sides and desserts are almost perfect. The servings are huge and the staff as hospitable as the south can be (but in California). Truly, I know you don’t know me from the next blogger saying how good something is but really…check this place out when you are in Northern California…you won’t regret it.
