The Cocktail Hour: Isle Margaritas On A Budget, A Catalina Happy Hr Pub Crawl


We've got an afternoon to kill hither inward Avalon. Tomorrow, we'll produce a piddling to a greater extent than on the active side hither on Catalina Island. Today, we'll explore the bars in addition to pubs along Crescent Avenue, the primary waterfront thoroughfare of the city.
Watch the Video!




Avalon is non a large place, inward fact yous tin walk from destination to destination inward a affair of minutes. That's what we're going to do. We've had a practiced tiffin at Antonio's Pizza in addition to Cabaret. Now, we're headed beyond the Casino.

34 years ago, when I brought Letty over hither to propose, nosotros spent the afternoon having drinks in addition to snorkeling off the shore at Descanso Beach Club, i of the really few (if non the only) mortal beaches inward California. It seems similar a practiced house to get-go off at.

Well, it seemed practiced but nosotros waited awhile. Server after server walked past times our tabular array without in addition to thus much equally a "Hi" or "I'll hold out correct amongst you." Enough, nosotros larn upward in addition to get-go leaving when a miss server comes upward in addition to says "what'll yous have?"

"Nothing...we plough over up. We've been hither xv minutes waiting for yous to induce got our order."

"But I'm hither now," she protests.

"Sorry, also late," I tell her. "We've got ameliorate things to produce amongst our express time."

 With the monastic enjoin behind us, it's dorsum to Crescent Avenue. Happy hours get-go equally early on equally 11am hither but it's a fighting after than that now.  At the other destination of town, simply upward Clarissa Avenue a duad of doors, is Mi Casita. You in all probability won't hold out surprised that it's a Mexican restaurant.

$7.50 is their happy hr cost for a large solid margarita or yous tin lead a flavor. Just for kicks, I larn a pineapple margarita on the rocks.  It's decent but on the sweetness side.

 Tim i ups me at that topographic point past times getting their really large dulce de leche H2O ice cream sundae for his happy hr snack.

Around the corner, facing the sea, is El Galleon which is owned past times Antonio's, where nosotros had lunch. 

 It's also $7.50 for their solid margarita, served inward a highball glass. It's a fighting on the weak side but ameliorate when I add together about other shot to it.

I discovery that they induce got an outstanding Cadillac margarita, though, at alone $2 more. Larger, tastier, in addition to stronger...it's a darn practiced version of this drink.

 Our terminal halt is the Catalina Cantina, a few doors due north of El Galleon. This is the cheapest happy hr margarita on Catalina at alone $4 and...you know what?...it's also the best. 

Very tasty in addition to rigid (but I asked the server to become far that way). Letty topped off the solar daytime amongst a drinking glass of chardonnay. Nice place, bang-up prices, in addition to about friendly people hanging out hither equally well.

 That was our afternoon of seeking out inexpensive libations on the island. It's a practiced means to brand your cash become a long means on this expensive stone inward the ocean.

 Cheers!

This is much less than th...
