Sunset falls and I’m thirsty for something I can’t define. Dark. Authentic. Unique. I set out to look for it, but I’m not even halfway across the lobby when it finds me. VIP lounge or speakeasy? Whatever this place is, rock ‘n’ roll is in its DNA. Velvet, leather, whiskey, wine. I slip onto a barstool and begin sipping on the best Old Fashioned I’ve had in years. I’m about to close out when I spot the bass player I’ve idolized since I was fourteen. I buy him a round and we talk music. While he orders round two, I pull out my phone and bump my eight a.m. to noon. It’s going to be a late night, and I don’t want to miss a thing.
Straight from LAX to all day meetings. Traffic, palm trees, sunglasses at night. But it doesn’t feel like L.A. until I’m on a leather sofa with my west coast friends at Bar 1200.

My client orders his usual and sings its praises, but I’m in the mood for something off-menu. When I ask for my hometown special, my client rolls her eyes, but the bartender doesn’t bat an eyelash. Two rounds later I realize home never tasted this good.
