Title: Destination suggestions Post by: Privateer on November 05, 2010, 09:13:15 PM I know there's so long beach area folks here, so I'm hoping I can get a bar/restaurant recommendation.
I'm planning to drag some bikers from North OC over to the LB area. Looking for a place to terminate our ride that is bike friendly, relatively inexpensive, and not so insane on a friday evening that I have to shout to be heard. Outdoor patio is a plus, but not mandatory. Safe parking is absolutely a requirement. I've been to a few of the downtown places and they're nice, but just a complete hassle and too many meat heads. Any help? thanks in advance. Title: Re: Destination suggestions Post by: GregP on November 06, 2010, 05:17:42 AM Depending on the time you roll in, there are a bunch of places on Shoreline Drive. The Yard House comes to mind as a place to have a burger and a frosty brew with a nice view of the Marina and the Queen Mary. There's a lot of paid parking as well.

E.J Maloys is a fav.... ( more of a locals thing and quite relaxing.... fire pit on the back patio too !) Title: Re: Destination suggestions Post by: Privateer on November 07, 2010, 10:06:06 PM thanks for the suggestions. I've been to yardhouse before.
Anything else not in the convention center area? I find that area a bit crowded for my 'quiet beer with some buddies' night. thanks again Title: Re: Destination suggestions Post by: The Bearded Duc on November 08, 2010, 11:29:39 AM thanks for the suggestions.
