14 Tax Day Drink Specials
Happy Tax Day! We made it this far. Now it’s time to drink.
Several bars in in Los Angeles are offering drink specials to celebrate either giving our money to the government, or getting it back.
The 1933 Group – proprietors of LA’s key vintage-style bars are all serving up $1 old fashioneds in honor (or courtesy of?) Uncle Sam. Meanwhile, several other locations are jumping on the cheap tipple bandwagon tonight. So go, imbibe – it’s your civic duty.
1. Highland Park Bowl
$1 Old Fashioned – 5 to 8 p.m.
