We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Three bars to bite the dust?



International Talk Like a Pirate Day is just next month, but Jack Sparrow wannabes might not be in a celebrating mood. Rumor on the scene is that K-town's pirate-ish R Bar might close! There were fundraisers earlier this week, which might have done the trick. The man who answered the phone when I called just now said the situation had been "circumvented" for the moment.


It should say, "Don't blow me down" 

Meanwhile, Malibu Inn and Vault 350's former booking dude, Mark Jason, that both venues are for sale following the passing of owner Mitchell Stewart. Let's hope the buyers keep the venues' integrity in tact—and bring Native Wayne back to Malibu on Sunday.

But it's not all sad news in the after-dark world. I just drove by City Sip, located next to Echo Park's firestation on Sunset Boulevard, and it looks like the wine shop/bar/market is gearing up to open. If you love wine, but hate wine snobs, this might very well become your favorite bar.
