Dames and Drinks the Best of 2011

It ain’t over till the sexy lady sips her Manhattan, Holy Headbuzz Batman! was it a good year for dames I’ll never see again and drinks I will remember for the rest of my life. The list of new bars on the map is a long one: New Orleans’ Checkpoint Charlies. San Antonio’s Esquire Tavern. Phoenix’s Bikini Lounge. Santa Monica’s Liquid Kitty (OK, this is an old one, but haven’t been in years). San Francisco’s Mission Bar. Portland’s Gold Dust Meridian. And since it’s always nice to sip that long island ice tea with the fairer sex, here are a few ladies from the long happy hour that was 2011.
