What an amazing find! This hidden gem in Torrance is about as real as it gets, and when I finally make the move to the South Bay, this will be MY watering hole.

Upon driving by, the tough exterior was enough for Chad to slam on his breaks and make a U-turn. Uhhh yes, please! We park, enter, saddle up to the locals-lined bar, and order two Bloody Marys. Are you ready for this?.....SIX DOLLARS. For two. I'm not joking. And stiff and spicy, they are!

Bruce, the bartender, is so incredibly welcoming. He lets us know all about the drink deals and the daily food specials, including Rib-eye Wednesday - a thick slice of steak, baked potato and vegetables for $15! Scroll through the photos on Yelp for a picture of this meal - it's a feast fit for a king.

Also, check out the 86ed list to the right, complete with physical descriptions of the banned customers. I love it!

So, let's break this down: impossibly cheap cocktails, home-cooked meals throughout out the week, and oh, they open for business at 6:00am. Why aren't you there right now?!

See you Wednesday, Branch Office!

The Bounty Room

I am so excited to have discovered this little gem in Torrance. Now, when I’m in the area, I have a bar for nearly every occasion:

THE ZEBRA ROOM – for when I get my oil changed at Scott Robinson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

THE THIRSTY CLUB – for Filipino class

THE SPORTSMAN – for when I want emphysema. Or potluck food. Or men over 65.

THE BOUNTY ROOM – for when I need beer served in a goblet.

Yeah, Chad’s beer came in a goblet. I’m ordering THAT next time.

Finding the Bounty Room was like spotting water in a desert. We needed a bar, and there it was.

Chad and I walk inside and are welcomed with open arms. The bartender is sweet as a peach and upon us learning that it’s a beer and wine only establishment, offers me wine options - because I’m a classy lady, clearly - and I select white zinfandel - because classy ladies drink pink wine.

The majority of the patrons appear to be locals, drinking beer (and Mountain Dew!? Yeah, I saw you drinking one, red shirt guy) and shooting pool. I particularly like the motif – 70s-style fake rock wall, sexy beer posters, a bunny calendar....

Isn’t that cute?

Drinks are very affordable, and FYI, it’s cash only.

My experience was only slightly tainted by an all-country soundtrack, but hey, I'm a trooper and can handle twenty minutes of Kenny Chesney.

See you soon, Bounty Room!
