Hello Lovelies!
Today I am talking about my first bar I went to while living in California! I went here with some family and friends for happy hour and loved it. The best part was it’s only 5 minutes away from my house! Oh, Yeah! It’s on a lovely street in Montrose, Glendale with a street full of shops and restaurants. At night the street is bright with hanging lights and lamp post it’s quiet cute and a perfect date spot! Basin has a great selection of craft beers on tap as well as specialty cocktails and a full bar stocked with all your liquor needs. They do have the best Michelada’s and bloody Mary’s however! They make their own house infused Vodka with a handul of special secrets. SO delish!! The best part about their happy hour is it is seven days a week 3-6 p.m. so you never have to worry about missing it! I went again with my friend Megan recently to check out the happy hour to write about it and share with all of you lovelies! We ordered everything on the menu since I didn’t try everything the first time. Except the salad we decided to skip that since it was cheat day! I eat enough salads throughout the week…. My favorite items were the wings & short rib sliders. The flavors were just so unique and flavorful with hints of spice to them. I didn’t not like anything, everything was as good as it sounded and with a good variety of food to select from.
I decided to get a beer this time around as well since the last time I can’t tell you how many Micheladas I had? I like beer and when it’s on tap even better! I tried the Hanger 24 lager it was nice and light, but with a crisp wheat taste to it. It paired well with my food and didn’t fill me up too much. The staff was very nice and friendly and I almost forgot to mention they have a photobooth!! Yeah how awesome is that?! It’s free and you email yourself the pictures! I like to do a before we start drinking picture and after. Then you catch all the fun of the in between. This weekend is St. Patrick’s day and Basin will be hosting a special Irish menu and will be opening early at 1pm to start the drinking and fun! I will be in Las Vegas for St. Patrick’s day and wanted to include some bars to check out if you are in the Las Vegas area. I will list them at the bottom and since Friday is this wonderful holiday, I will not have a recipe this week. I hope you lovelies make it over to Basin for all my valley CA residents it’s always a good time. Have a safe and wonderful St. Patrick’s day and week!
