There used to be a great Irish pub on Montana Ave in Santa Monica late 80s....can't remember the name, but I was asked to leave one blazing hot summer night when eating 'Shrooms and having more fun than humanly possible.
I lived in Santa Monica in late 80s/early 90s and Barney's was hangover goto. They used to have a great bumper sticker, "Follow me to Barney's Beanery" and underneath it said "last bastion of heterosexuality" There is now a Barney's in Santa Monica...I will eat there Tuesday after the win...
Smart move to Redondo. I lived in Santa Monica 30- years ago and staying there Sunday-Monday. Traffic will be....well a [ hundin] Game time is 4:30 so to stadium around noon. Tailgate and drink in the atmosphere...it's what we have all wanted for years!!!
I drank copious amounts of Woodford starting at halftime and continued through remainder of the day....while looking at awesome Airbnb in Scottsdale that I am reserving shortly
