If you are ever in Rosedale and feel like a cocktail, then stop into Vi’s.  It is a very friendly family owned bar that caters to regulars.  The place was packed with people having a great time.  The Jell-O shots being passed around were sure to help with the merriment.  Jackie the bartender that night, even holds an award for the best bloody mary in town.  It was too late to try one, but we will definitley be back on a weekend to sample her famous...

After a long day of work yesterday we stopped for a well deserved drink at Camino Real. We sat up at the bar which has just recently re-opened after 6 months of renovations. We were informed by the bartender that Thursday night is Ladies Night! What luck! Happy hour prices until 11:30, who could ask for more?!! If you are in a group of 5 more more you also get a complimentary sampler platter. This place knows how to treat the ladies! We tried two specialty drinks. First was the Dirty Girl...

If any day should be declared a holiday, it should be today!  Today marks the 75th anniversary of the 21st Amendment that repealed Prohibition in the United States on December 5, 1933. If not for this historic day our world would be completely different and not for the better.  Make sure you take the time for at least a glass or two tonight in celebration.  Feng Shui Tip His nose like a cherry and his eyes all twinkling ... No, I'm not talking about a certain someone with a...

Last night was a success for the 1st annual Pink Ladies Toy Drive.  Lots of people showed up to support the cause and have a few rounds of drinks.  All of the toys donated will be distributed to children at the Jamison Center this weekend by the Active 20/30 Ladies.    http://www.co.kern.ca.us/dh...

We have been stopping by the Syndicate Lounge quite a bit lately.  It is a fun place with a great mix of people.  During the week, they have happy hour drink and food specials.  Looking to dance or meet new people, Saturday night is the time to try. If you are in the mood to try something new, Asheley’s signature cocktail is a Cherry Limeade that is delish.  For those who are daring or want a quick fix – Have Stabe make you a Punch in the Face.  All we...

We recently had the opportunity to try a new liqueur – Campari. What a perfect addition for the holidays.  A bottle of Campari is an easy way to update your home bar or a fun way to try a new cocktail. Here are some of our favorite recipes for Campari Cocktails.   Try them next time you order a cocktail and let us know what you think.  Naughty Negroni ¼ oz Campari ¼ oz Grapefruit vodka ¼ oz Sweet Vermouth ¼...

We finally made it to one of the Luigi's Wine tasting events.  It was perfect way to spend a Thursday night.  There were tasting tables everywhere, including on the patio where the band was playing.  In addition to a large assortment of items from the deli, appetizers were passed by the staff throughout the evening.  This is a great way to try before you buy, since almost all of the wines are available for sale.

For anybody looking for an exciting place to watch Monday Night Football we have found a great spot for you! RJ's has gone a step further than just having the game on the big screen.  When you come in you get a raffle ticket for a drawing they do at the end of each quarter. Prizes range from T-shirts & hats to $25 gift cards. They also have drink and shot specials that coincide with certain plays during the game so make sure you're watching closely! Monday isn't the only day they...

For some of the tastiest Mojitos and Caipirinhas in town head downtown to Mama Roomba's! It's a small, lively establishment with festive decor and great service. You truly feel like you've stepped into the local watering hole in Havana. The bar is a popular spot for singles and the restaurant is the perfect spot for an intimate dinner. On a cool night the patio is a great place to sit if you like to people watch like us! The entire atmosphere is hard to beat. If you're not in the mood...

If you are in the mood for live music, Fishlips is the place to be. We recently stopped in to check out a local band called Spare Change which we had seen there before. We quickly realized they could not be stumped by our requests, I'm talking everything from Dave Matthews to Pantera and everything in between. Just as impressive was Travis Byler who played an eclectic variety of covers on some of our favorite songs. We also saw the AC/DC tribute band not too long ago and the place was packed...

Even though we do indulge in the occasional fruity, blended drink, it's hard not to actually feel the calories attaching themselves to our thighs! We are always searching for a delicious, guilt free cocktail. So, we've rounded up a few recipes that are sure to leave you feeling satisfied and still able to fit into last year's swim suit! Enjoy :) Sangria Sparkler Prep: 10 minutes Chill: 2 hours Makes: 12 servings (One pitcher) 750-milliliter bottle dry red wine 1 cup...

  We have been hearing a lot of buzz about Randolph's Lounge in the Northwest so we had to check it out. We stopped in on a Friday night before the crowd arrived so we could peruse the drink menu and sample a few cocktails. Our new favorite bartender Rachel whipped up a X-Rated/Raspberry Stoli concoction for us. Actually we had a couple because they were delish! The drink menu featured an assortment of specialty cocktails, a few of which the ingredients are a mystery as they...

On the recommendation of a fellow blogger, we decided to stop in for a cocktail at Bill Lee's downtown. We were pleasantly surprised by the retro feel of the bar. It is dark with pink accent lights around the perimeter.  There are couches along one wall and comfy swivel chairs at the bar. If you prefer something more intimate,  there are individual tables throughout the bar area. It's a great place to take someone on a first date. We sampled a couple well...
