The craft cocktail culture is booming in Los Angeles and throughout California, and to celebrate this renaissance, LA is hosting the inaugural Golden State of Cocktails (GSC) from Jan. 27-30, 2014. While the conference focuses on industry education during the day, at night the public is invited to experience some of the best bars in LA during two bar crawls. The first takes place in Downtown LA on Tuesday, Jan. 28, and the second is in Hollywood, on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Each of the bars on the crawls will feature specially priced $4 cocktails for a set period of time.
Shuttles depart at 6 p.m. on both nights from the Los Angeles Times Building and run to and from each bar. On Wednesday night, a shuttle will return to the Millennium Biltmore Hotel from Hollywood at the end of the night.
Special GSC pricing is only available to registered attendees with wristbands. Register for your wristband at Eventbrite: www.gscbarcrawl2014.eventbrite.com.
