The atmosphere is immersive, theatrical, moody, and every nook and cranny of this place is beautifully detailed. Our group embraced the requested all-black dress code, and I was a little disappointed that some other guests didn't play along. When a place puts this much effort into creating a particular world, dressing the part really does make the experience more fun. The spirits themselves were excellent. We tasted vodka, whiskey, and rum, and all three were remarkably smooth, interesting, and clearly very high quality. I loved that the tasting was guided rather than just having drinks dropped in front of us. The storytelling and presentation made us pay attention to what we were actually tasting and gave the evening a nice sense of progression. We also happened to be there while comic artist Matt Harley of Marvel fame was sketching, which felt perfectly suited to the setting and made an already unusual night even more memorable. The space is gorgeous: candlelight, artwork, strange little details everywhere, dramatic lighting, beautiful glassware, and even the outdoor fire element. There's so much to look at that you feel like you're discovering something new every time you turn around. Our whole group LOVES Halloween, so this felt like the absolute perfect way to kick off spooky season. It has exactly the kind of dark, mysterious, slightly magical atmosphere we were hoping for without feeling cheesy or gimmicky. We loved the rum so much that we ended up buying a bottle, which also granted us Level 1 membership, so this definitely won't be our only visit. Such a fun choice for a birthday celebration, date night, or a night out with friends when you want something completely different from the usual bar experience. We're already looking forward to going back and seeing what our new membership unlocks.

I assumed that their focus was on whisky, and certainly not on food. But then, one day, I passed by in the evening, when Drift was actually open. I saw a lot of people inside, so I thought I would check it out. The moment I walked inside and smelled that wonderful smoky flavor, I had a feeling my assumption was very wrong. I checked out the menu, which had me at brisket, and I committed to eating there as soon as possible. As soon as possible was the next day. I tried the brisket, which was fantastic! It was moist and tender without being fatty. And, it had a great smoky flavor. I went back to Drift four times that week, including twice in one day. Everything I have tried has been great - the pulled pork, beef rib (absolutely amazing) and turkey. I haven't tried the chicken or pork ribs yet, but I plan to very soon. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that the bbq baked beans are among, if not the best, I have ever eaten. Service at Drift has always been really friendly. The environment is casual and fun (at times a little too noisy for me, but I'm pretty old and have a little trouble hearing conversation in noisy environments). I'm so glad I looked past my initial perception of Drift and gave it a try. It has become one of my favorite restaurants in San Clemente.

Rob Rubens has quickly risen up the ranks to become one of my favorite craft breweries. The fact that they're a distillery as well is even more reason to love it. Located in a more industrial section of El Segundo, it can easily go unnoticed if you're not looking for it. Which is probably fitting since their motif is that of Prohibition in the early 1900's. To reach the tasting room you must first walk through the brewery/distillery until you reach a dark doorway which leads to a very cool speakeasy. I've had the pleasure of speaking with 2 of their bartenders, Sam and Ryan. Both are extremely nice gentlemen; friendly and easy to talk to. Their beer selection isn't as extensive as some other local breweries but I did like the variety of offerings they had. My personal favorite is the "Valentine's Day Massacre", which is a strawberry wheat beer. Light & refreshing, easy to drink. Onto their spirits! I've sampled gin, vodka, and whiskey. All of them offer unique tastes. While I'm usually a whiskey fan, my personal favorite was their vodka. Smooth and easy to drink neat. Since it's a tasting room and not a bar, they will only allow you to order 1 shot of your choice. (I know, bummer right?) Of course, taste is subjective so I recommend sampling them all and deciding for yourself. They also make some interesting cocktails using their own spirits! Please note!! A shot of their spirits is available any day but they only serve cocktails on Friday's and Saturday's. As I stating before, the bartenders are really friendly and probably won't turn you down if you ask for one, but often times there's only 1 bartender working and the cocktails are time-consuming. This puts them in a bind since it delays them from taking care of every other patron. If you plan on visiting on any other day besides Friday or Saturday, keep your drink order simple like a "gin & tonic". Or just stick to beer. The tasting room isn't large and so I'm not sure this is a good spot for large groups. They have 2 bars; a larger beer bar and a smaller spirits bar. The decor has a lot of dark hard-woods and shiny brass/copper. It gives the whole place a feel of old-time classiness. I just wish they had some old jazz or ragtime playing in the background to give it that authentic 1920's feel. There isn't much in the way of food offerings but they do keep a basket of random snack food behind the bar (nuts, jerky, etc) Great beers, great spirits, awesome atmosphere. I will probably be visiting often. read more

A group of 14 of our friends purchased Travel Zoo coupons for bourbon tastings & charcuterie @ R6. We thought it would be a fun way to spend the afternoon. Wow! We were sooo disappointed! There were so many RULES and Regulations, that we had an awful time, and could not wait to get out of there. The lady who waited on us was very unpleasant and treated us like unwelcome children! None of us will ever go back, and we would not recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time or be treated nicely. Just an example: the 7th couple had decided to join us a week before we went. Because we didn't call R6 to tell them we would have 14 instead of 12....they would not honor their voucher! read more

Ready to go all in on the Jeepney (out of curiosity. I've never actually been to the Philippines, so wouldn't have been able to judge). Bartender says, "um. We're pretty low on food" and proceeds to cover the entire bottom half of the menu (which is the pizza), leaving only the bar bites as available. So: heated up frozen pretzel was solid. And hot when delivered. The beer was tasty. Could prob warrant a fourth star for the space. But since I walked almost two miles for the pizza, and now have to solve separately for dinner, pretty disappointed. So was gonna do three stars. But Todd (the bartender) was super nice at the end, gave me the back story (busy weekend = no pizza), so redeemed the fourth star. Will prob go back to try the pizza. Just not on a Tuesday.

There's plenty of seating and I can imagine during this time (World Cup season) this place gets so packed and fun in the best way. The service was great. We had a lot of questions about the drinks. We were recommended a flight if we were unsure which you can customize; I definitely recommend this if it's your first time so you can try a little bit of everything. They had a vendor selling tacos, burritos and other Mexican style items which were absolutely delicious and with the drinks it was a perfect combo! I'm not sure if they change that side vendor or if they are a semi permanent partner with them, but I love that they offer small businesses an opportunity to sell their foods. I was told that they used to be located in a different area or accessing brewery was through another area so pay attention to signs, especially for their nearby parking.

We also asked about gluten-free options, and nobody seemed to know what was available or could give us a clear answer. The one exception was Christina, who was wearing a green hoodie today. She was actually friendly and helpful, and I appreciate her for treating us normally. I understand that a group of 12 can be busy to deal with, but we were paying customers ordering drinks for over four hours. We shouldn't feel like an inconvenience every time we approach the bar. The brewery itself has potential, but the attitude from the staff completely killed the vibe for us. Based on today's experience, I wouldn't come back.
