As part of our continuing effort to keep things fresh and lively on The Imbiber Show, we've decided to take it to the streets... well, the bars, actually. So we went out and got us some fancy mobile recording equipment that affords us the freedom to record the show ANYWHERE. Anywhere that'll have us, that is.

Our first stop: Hinano Cafe in Venice, CA -- the Coliseum of dive bars. An all-time classic. Hinano was Jim Morrison's hangout years before the Doors lit any fires. There's sawdust on the floor. Free popcorn. Beer and wine only, but only tourists would dare order the wine.

Show also features some material recorded at the Venice Whaler about five hours into a serious bender. Peter O'Toole-like in its boozy brilliance.

Oh, and we talk about The Moscow Mule. Here's the recipe:

2 parts Grey Goose vodka
Juice from 1/2 a fresh lime
Ginger Beer

Squeeze the lime into a tall glass filled with ice. Add  vodka. Then add ginger beer to taste
