We found one of the oldest continually operated bars west of the mississippi last night: Joe Jost’s
I love love love the look and feel of this place. From the paper mache rhino with a broken horn to the desk-like chairs lined up along the walls – this place is cool.
My brother is in town visiting and we met up with his friend Mallory in Long Beach because it’s halfway between our respective homes. We first went to Alex’s, the bar they use as Fangtasia in ‘True Blood’. (I was very excited)
Their bathroom had some very cool art geared towards the vampire crowd…
Then we got some burgers and tattoos at Famous…
watched some “Dancing With The Stars” with an employee…
All tatt’d up, we headed to Joe Jost’s…
I definitely want to do a “real” shoot here some time. It is where they shot The Bodyguard by the way…so, kind of have to.
Sweet! Again again!
