Monday Night New Things 09/16

The Regent Theater hosted a Monday Night Football watch party (New Thing #10) for the Chargers/Raiders game so I decided to check it out and see what it was like.
The set-up was no frills - they did flash lights with the teams’ colors on big plays - and it was kind of advertised as a social event but there was zero socializing with strangers so it was a miss on that front. Still, it was a fun place to watch the game, not surprisingly the audio was top notch. The biggest reason I wouldn’t go back is that the drinks were still music venue pricing so more than one would want to pay and the big screen and sound aren’t enough to make up for that.

For the Houston/Tampa Bay game, I checked out The Liberties (New Thing #11). Their website still calls it The Liberties of Dublin but everything I saw just had The Liberties on it; Google calls it Liberties DTLA. If I lived closer to it, this might be a go-to bar. I didn’t try the food but everyone was nice, they had a few different screens to watch the game, and I believe they also have a karaoke night. Sadly, I am never in the Westlake South area and it’s just a bit too far (1.8 miles) from me for a drop-in spot.

Finally, after the games, I made my long awaited visit to The Wolves. It’s a very pretty bar and is known for their mixed drinks. It’s a great spot for a date or to pop in for a drink if you go see a play at the LA Theater Center next door (which I still haven’t done.)
