Bagpipe's and David Hasselhoff

Saturday night I tagged along with Jenny as she met up with a friend of hers that was in from out of town as well as some local friends. We all met up at a new joint called the 3rd Stop. The 3rd Stop is on third street near Robertson.

I never thought I'd enjoy a hanging out in any bar-like venue in the Beverly Hills/Robertson area. I mean, this is typically Pretension Alley. But the 3rd Stop is pretty cool. An LA version of an english pub, the place has a long list of beers. Many for a reasonable price of 5 bucks. Even the Chimay is 5 bucks. As well, there is a fun menu of bar food to choose from. Wood fired pizza's, tapa's style plates of brazilian style steak, gnocchi, and whatnot.

Good Brew, good food. What else could you ask for. Well if you're of Scottish lineage like me, the Bagpipe player who made an entrance soon after we arrived was an entertaining addition. The guy was good. If that wasn't enough, soon after the Bagpipe player finished his first set, who walks in but David Hasslehoff! He only stayed for a few minutes, but he lived up to all of his cheezy persona.

So If you find yourself in the Beverly Center/Robertson area overwhelmed by annoying pretense, take the edge off at the 3rd Stop.
