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”.

Kick back, grab a cold one, and join me on my quest to find the coldest beer, unique cocktails, tastiest local cuisine, live music and kick-ass jukeboxes in the bars, taverns, honky-tonks, roadhouses, and dancehalls in the country.

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.

Sangrita- Kitchen Mixology (VIDEOCAST)
Sangrita is Spanish for "little blood". I'm gonna show you how to make this a spicy tomato shot at home. Forget the salt-lime ritual. THIS chaser is how the Mexicans drink a shot of tequila down in Mexico, so vamanos, muchchos!
