McSorley's Old Ale House (VIDEOCAST)

The AA Hour has landed in Manhattan!  The East Village, to be exact, where we'll visit the oldest Irish tavern in New York City. McSorley's Old Ale House has been serving up cold beer since 1854 (arguably). Get ready for beer, lots of history, even more beer, and a house-made mustard that will blow your sinus cavities out! (Bonus footage: my choice for the Best Beer Snack EVER!)

La Rocca's Corner (VIDEOCAST)

LaRocca's Corner is a great local's bar in San Francisco's North Beach...NORTH North Beach, close Fisherman's Wharf where the Sicilian immigrants made their home.  It's located on the cable car line, opened in the '20's by Italians, now owned by a couple of Native SF Irishmen, and we'll toss in the story of a Mafia hit, just for the flavor.

Mi Tierra and the Liberty Bar (VIDEOCAST)

San Antonio, Texas, two bars- one on the south side, and one on the north, both with completely different vibes. Mi Tierra is a long time Tex-Mex favorite for locals and visitors alike. And the Liberty Bar has been located, until recently, in a ramshackle building that is, as one reviewer wrote, “over 100 years old and looks every minute of it”.

Vesuvio Cafe (VIDEOCAST)

San Francisco, North Beach. Great Old School bar in The City by the Bay- Vesuvio. This beautiful joint was, and still is, a gathering place for artists, musicians, poets, tourists and people that appreciate a good cocktail. I'll give you a bit of the back story of this watering hole to many legends of the Beat Generation.

Ramos Gin Fizz- Kitchen Mixology (VIDEOCAST)

The Ramos Gin Fizz is a great cocktail.  I'll show you how to make this classic drink created by one of the great bartenders of all time, and I'm throwing in an easy, delicious knock off as well. Ice cream and booze for breakfast anyone?

Rosemary's Vineyard and Winery (VIDEOCAST)

On this week's episode, we're heading to a small winery in LaGrange, Texas, about half way between Austin and Houston.
