From the Archives: Barbarella on tap

Scrimshaw and St. Bernardus ABT 12 at Barbarella Bar

Even though Girls Who Like Beer is in its infant stages, we’ve been drinking lots of (and collecting photos of) beer for some time now. Here’s one from the archives: Barbarella Bar in Silver Lake.

Barbarella has had kind of a tough time since it opened a couple of years ago – it’s gone through many different chefs, and most recently had yet another redesign, turning the formal dining area to incorporate separated pizza restaurant called Lago D’Argento. Frankly, one of the few consistent things since its opening has been the beer.

With well over 20 taps, we easily pick out our favorites: St. Bernardus ABT 12, Allagash White, and North Coast Scrimshaw, amongst others. Despite the consistency issues, it’s our favorite after work happy hour spot. Most beers are $5 for happy hour ($6 at the most), and we have yet to find our favorite St. Bernardus for cheaper any where else.

We’ll have more on Barbarella Bar later. Happy hour is happening now until 7:00 pm – time to get going!
