Such a Fun Place To Go in L.A. With Great Beer!

Last night my boyfriend and I went to a going away party for our girlfriend, Elenor, at Medusa Bar on Beverly in L.A. Located about 12 mins no-traf* from North Hollywood, 8 mins no-traf from Downtown, and pretty darn close to Silverlake, Medusa Bar and lounge is an architectual must-see. A mix of class and style make this place a modern and detailed establishment.

Enter the bar through a large door guarded by two lions and you will see many chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. My favorite chandelier encompasses the majority of the main bar, while others hang around - complete with antlers. As you walk through the lounge prepare to be "floored" by the high cathedral ceilings. Unusual in the L.A. area, to stand under these is worth the trip alone. Conversation and enjoyable music - spun by a live D.J. - play throughout the Medusa Lounge.

And if you don't think this place sounds great already, get this. The beers are tasty. Huge. And affordable. $12 buys you a liter (over 32 ounces) of beer. To quote Elenor's boyfriend, Dennis Carlin, who was drinking the German Dinkelaker Dark Beer, "It is big, tasty and smooth." And who doesn't like a tasty smooth beer. I know I did, and I'm traditionally a wine drinker.

So if you get a chance, drop on by the Medusa Lounge in Los Angeles California. Located at 3211 Beverly Blvd, L.A., CA, 90057 (213) 382.5723. Their Web site is www.medusaloungela.com
