One of my favorite spots up in Los Angeles is Tom Bergin's Public House. I used to go there all the time with my best friend back in the day when she lived in the area, so I thought it would be fun to pay it a visit. The waiters there make a stiff drink and large portions of Irish comfort food – great for sharing.

Whenever I visit Tom Bergin's, I never skip out on the Brussels sprouts and fried pickle chips. They make their own pickles in house and use the brine as backs or chasers for their whiskey shots – whiskles!

I resisted the whiskle shot this time and got a daiquiri to match my friends' fruity cocktails. My daiquiri was sweet with a full, lime flavor, and reminded me a lot of Disneyland's non-alcoholic version of a mint julep.
