Brittany Hampton is definitely my ride or die haha through thick and thin we always get into messes and adventures. Tonight was no different!
Our night started out to Tiki Ti...

"The Tiki Ti is a Polynesian-themed tiki bar on Sunset Boulevard, in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. It is considered by many to be the very epitome of the Tiki tavern style...Established in 1961 by Ray Buhen, the Tiki Ti's only employees, Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. Buhen are also the sole owners. The bar is a well known stop as an underground landmark, often serving as a prelude stop before attending other clubs in the popular Silverlake/Hollywood area. The bartenders are known for their "heavy" pours and specialty drinks like the "Blood and Sand," where patrons synchronously yell "Toro, Toro, Toro" while the drink is topped off with tequila, an homage to the 1941 Tyrone Power film about bullfighting. The other chanting drink is the "Uga Booga" where patrons yell "ooga booga" as the drink is being prepared…Their drink menu does consist of over 80 exotic drinks—many of which are originals. Drink names are colorful and include Yellow Bird, Laka Nuki, Bayanihan, Bonnie & Clyde and the Missionary's Downfall, just to name a few."

Needless to say, this is not my typical "hangout" spot but definitely a great place to start the night or spend an evening relaxing. If your looking for the typical bar experience, I recommend skipping out on Tiki Ti. The drinks are a little pricey, but they do have a good taste to them, a little too tropical tasting for MY taste however.

After a quick stop at the Tiki-Ti, we made our way out to Hollywood Blvd to hit up some bars and clubs. We found some overpriced parking (which is anticipated in Hollywood on a Thursday night). After a quick walk, we were approached by a promoter to go to Outpost, with little expectation were quiet surprised by the place.
"...The Outpost is also now a western-themed sports bar-cum-saloon (opening today) overrun with flat screen TVs and all kinds of Old West awesome, from cowboy boots filled with cocktails, to walls blanketed with lassos, steer skulls, and antique saddles."
If you're visiting on a Thursday night you're in for a treat!...NO cover charge, 2 for 1 Happy Hour (before midnight), and CHEAP & rather delicious appetizers. We ordered mozzarella cheese sticks and chicken fingers, which were quiet appetizing. Overall the Outpost offered a great environment, well mixed drinks, and a good atmosphere to really have a great time.
Already having had a good amount of drinks at Outpost, nothing could have felt better than a brisk stroll down Hollywood Blvd. Brittany and I, made our way down Hollywood Blvd to a bar called Five0Four.

"A New Orleans style bar and restaurant in a lush patio space serving classing New Orleans cocktails and American cuisine with a New Orleans flare!"
This place is an absolute blast! They have amazing daiquiris that would quench any thirst, and ill go as far as saying they're the best daiquiris I've ever had, chilled to perfection, & they don't slush up as quickly as a traditional daiquiri. Five0Four also hosts some amazing kamikaze shots that as Brittany would say "gave me life."
Overall, the night had a bit of a slow start with TiKi Ti being a little less exciting than anticipated, but the night definitely turned around once we got to Hollywood. Outpost and Five0Four really did a number on my liver, but I'm glad I had my best friend Brittany there to really set off the night.
