Reveals details about old time Hollywood watering holes and the denizens who frequented them.
Pure gossip, but we love it. Many celebrities mentioned, and many of their favorites bars, restaurants, and hotels, most of whom and most of which have long passed from the scene. This book is mainly aimed at the nostalgia crowd who remember the stars of the past and the places they frequented. Young readers might be bewildered at the stories of their parents and grandparents generation. Some famous stories are strangely left out, like the nightclub fight between Bogart and his then wife Mayo; and those who remember "Confidential" Magazine and its wallowing in scandal might be disappointed in the relative restraint and adherence to politeness in this book's tale telling. Still, the book is a hoot and fun to read.Read full review...

Of All The Gin Joints
This book is so good, if you're a fan of the golden era of Hollywood. It makes you feel like you're right there with the stars, and sharing a drink.
