So you can't just have a drink at the bar? Is it worth driving there from Malibu to just have a drink sitting outside?Great choices. If you can get into the bar at the Old Place, that would be awesome. They open at 4pm and there's a guy with a clipboard in the front. Go up to him and tell him you want to sit at the bar. I think you have to order dinner to sit at the bar. Otherwise, you can get a drink at the side car outside. There's also a wine place right next door.
