At the Avalon Beverly Hills

310 277 5221
Rating: On a scale of 1 – 4 shots
Overall- 2.5/3 Shots depending if you stick with the Happy Hour times or want to go a little later and pay way too much!
Location- 3.5 Shots. Right in the heart of Beverly Hills but a little off the main drag, this place is easy to get to (valet is free which is a big plus in Los Angeles) and if you have a little extra money and get too drunk you can always just stay at the hotel
Atmosphere- 4 shots. There is nothing more romantic than sitting by candlelight in a cabana poolside. The mix of crowd was young, yuppie and hot-ish, the usually LA hotel bar crowd.

Drinks- 3 Shots (during Happy Hour) but only 2 shots on a normal evening. More than anything in life I have having to pay 15 dollars for a Martini, it’s insane. And even worse was the 13 dollar glass of chardonnay that came, I kid you not, only 1/3 full! During Happy Hour (from 4-7pm Monday through Friday) the drinks go down to 8 dollars. Still a little pricey but at least a little more affordable.
Food- 3 shots (during Happy Hour) but only 2 shots on a normal evening. Once again during Happy Hour their tapas for to a great price- $6 for one item and $15 for three. Which is a big improvement over the $12 that the hummus was after 7. But I have to say- it was pretty damn good. Though on the plus side, I kept ordering more of the bread- which was equally as good and FREE.
Bartender/Waitress- 2 Shots. Come on guys, filling a wine glass only 1/3 full is not my idea of a good drink! Sitting outside we had a waitress, and although she was attentive I felt she was finding us a waste of her time since we weren’t drinking drink after drink, or ordering the more expensive bottles of wine that were on the menu.
A special thanks to Laura and Kelli for coming out and enjoying another weekly Happy Hour with me! And keeping me entertained with stories of bad dates gone wrong… wow we’ve had our share, haven’t we?!
