    So I have a work trip next week to LA for some meetings and what not. We will be staying in Universal City and I'm curious about a couple things.

    1) I did a search through the forums on shops and see the Vendome Liquors looks fairly close to me and I think I saw something about a Whole Foods in Burbank for beer stores. I'm looking to grab a few bottles while I'm out there and am asking where I should head to grab a few to bring back to east coast? (side note, do you guys see alpine or abyss in your stores?)

    2) Good beer bars in the vicinity. I may only have 1 night to go out on my own, possibly 2, but are there any must hit spots in that area?

    Thanks for your help guys. I tried to search as much as possible but am a little tied up at work. I really appreciate any and all help/info.

    I hope I didn't offend any die hard Tupac fans...

    edit: if its any consolation Life After Death and Thug Life are neck and neck on my itunes plays

    Bill's liquor in Atwater village has abyss right now, they got a pretty damn good selection in general. youll find some cool stuff as they tend to fly under the radar.

    yes Vendome for bottles and Tony's Darts for pours. If you have a ride go south a couple miles to Blue Palms

    I work at Uni and live in the area. Agreed on Vendome. I believe I've seen some Alpine stuff there.
    The Federal Bar is also close by on Lankershim in North Hollywood.

    Boneyard Bistro is a must hit for pours.
