Bars in Sherman Oaks, California

When you are in Los Angeles you should of course hop in a car and drive around the Hollywood Hills. You may make a turn and come down Laurel Canyon or something like that which may take you out on the leeward side of the Hills. If you happen to find yourself on Ventura Blvd and you just so happen to make a left hand turn from any of the Hills out-shoots, you could very well find yourself in Sherman Oaks California.

Just past Studio City and Universal City; on the south side of North Hollywood and en route to the San Fernando Valley proper, Sherman Oaks is something of the go-between: a little bit suburban, a little bit Hollywood. Heck it's just next to all these famous places; the Britney Spears gated community, Beverly Hills, Heffner! They're all a short jaunt away from the rather docile looking Sherman Oaks. But Sherman Oaks is also home to a bunch of fun facts. For example you may see Ben or Casey Affleck or even the hunky Matt Damon (or those other guys who wrote "Good Will Hunting" - their office space is actually in Sherman Oaks) and Sherman Oaks on Ventura Blvd is the home of the latest opened Starbucks anywhere this side of the Holland Tunnel (seriously they all close at like 11; there is one in Sherman Oaks that's open till 1AM)

But you won't need your coffee break if you know where to go and get your drink on in this precursor to the Valley. One of these bars has been around a long time and they always aim to please. The Pineapple Hill Saloon (4454 Van Nuys Blvd) is in its 28th year and they are open from 10 till 2. Not only do they have great drinks like their "Godivia Chocolate Series Martini's" but they also have great island themed burgers like their Kona Burger which makes their drinks go down even smoother.
