Shangri-la 02/17/2012
 
It only took about 2 years but I finally got my sweet rumpus up to Suite 700 at the Hotel Shangri-La this past Sunday. I am a deco WHORE so needless to say I've been pretty freakin excited. First of all, they don't have a Happy Hour per se, but they do have one of the most crazy active FB and Twitter feeds I've experienced, regularly giving out secret passwords, drink specials, mixology master visits, parties, etcetera etcetera etcereta.
SO click that glowing FB two sentences above and get yourself hooked up. There is no reason not to LIKE them.

At Suite 700, the drinks are generous and well made, I happily tore through 3 martinis before I knew it. 

BUT I REALLY WANT TO WORKSHOP SOMETHING WITH YOU> As a fellow Venitian, can I share a problem with you that you may experience yourself? WE can bond! C'mon!

You're at work, its' gorgeous its sunny you are like, "PERFECT night for sunset drinks!!!!" You text your peeps, hop in the car, and suddenly after you pass Cloverfield you are staring into the ISLAND OF ATLANTIS .  Cloud bank from hell. YOUR EVENING IS IN RUINS. 
Now, no longer should you worry. Check out this genius live cam that will give you the real time cocktail conditions, live from the pier!
LOVE THAT. Now go forth and drink in that sunset!

Not all of those who live in Venice, WORK in Venice, which is why these "on the way home"  happy hours are so very important.
Just in time for summer, the Standard Hollywood ( not Downtown, damn it Dina!) has kicked off a new weekday happy hour, which should keep me occupied until the Getty starts up their heartbreakingly easy " Fridays Off the 405".
Monday- Friday 5:00-7:00 1/2 price apps and drinks, POOLSIDE.
So go get sauced at sundown to ease the pain of the (rest of ) commute home, or stroll over to the Mondrian's Sky Bar and have a laugh at all the Try- Hards strutting and puffing in true LA style.
