My name is Alyssa Heater and I welcome you to The Underbelly.
From a very young age, I’ve appreciated the trashier things in life: I've fantasized about banging Slash and Nikki Sixx since I was, like, ten -- I've spent many a night researching www.findadeath.com -- Linnea Quigley is god. Every now and then, you’ll catch me doing a double take at a reasonably attractive homeless man, but that’s a story for another time…
Through the years, my taste hasn't changed much. I’ve never been a fan of the dance clubs and trendy bars that attract most people in their twenties. For some reason, waiting in lines and dodging sweaty, Ed Hardy-wearing dudes doesn’t appeal to me. I would much rather find solstice in a bar where I can listen to decent music, observe an eclectic bunch of people, and pay for my drink with the change and lint I find in my pocket.
This website documents great adventures had at dive bars all over California (and eventually throughout the country). My promise to you is to provide quality reviews and filthy photographs to tempt you into joining in on the fun.
After following along with my adventures at some of the state’s dirtiest dives, I promise, you’ll try to purposefully get lost in The Underbelly. Good luck…
Xxx,
Alyssa
