NEW AT DON THE BEACHCOMBER:
NINE ORIGINAL COCKTAILS FROM DONN BEACH!
Staying true to the original Don the Beachcomber restaurant conceptualized in the 1930s by Donn Beach, the founding father of tiki, Arthur and Delia Snyder are introducing nine more of his original cocktails to the menu, which already features some of his classics!
TONIGHT!!
Scorpion – this drink combines rum and brandy with lemon and orange juices, and a hint of almond!
This is one of our most tart drinks, second only to the Dr. Funk!
Available in a bowl for two—Aah! Romance! $9 single/$15 bowl
Monday, August 1st
Royal Navy Fogcutter – this drink, formulated by Donn in his first Hollywood bar, had a top secret recipe until his bartender, Tony Ramos, moved to another bar, and immediately claimed that he had invented it! Angry, Donn took it off his menu for several years, but it was so popular that he put it back. This one features gin, rum, brandy, with Donn’s original formulas—unlike the copycats. “Fogcutter, Hell! One of these and you won’t even see the stuff.”
$12 (limit 2 per guest)
In the upcoming weeks we will be introducing a new Don's drink to our Bar Menu
Every Monday, during Happy Hour from 4 pm to close!
You're invited to try a 2-ounce complimentary test of the New Drink of the Day,
and only purchase a full-size drink if you like it.
(An extra bonus since we know you will like it anyway!)

Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz!
What is this? Here's the short version:
- Geeks Who Drink is a homegrown Pub Quiz modeled after those in Ireland and the UK.
- Quizzes cover everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television.
- Each quiz has two audio rounds: a "Name that Tune” style round, and another round comprised of soundbites from movies and TV.
- Play in teams of up to six or by yourself if you're some kind of savant.
- If you want to play but don’t have a team, come anyway. We can usually get single players recruited onto an existing team.
- Winning teams gets street cred, bar cash and other prizes depending on the venue. Bonus Questions for free pints are sprinkled throughout the quiz.
- You don’t have to be a trivia God to enjoy the quiz. Since you’re playing on a team, the collective knowledge base makes for more fun, less pressure. It’s not final Jeopardy!
8-10 p.m. in the Longboard Room - More Info: HERE!
