Still waiting to hear the update on exactly why they have shut down, but they have closed with a sign on the door noting only that they pla to reopen in February.
Hope this doesn't mean another one bites the dust and turns into something horrible like when Star Shoes turned into Vice... Meep!
Update:
So Tiny's was open last night, but the future seems bleak.
It may be open for a little while longer, but I would be surprised if it lasts through February.

Bar hop part II: East Siders
I think you've had enought time to cure your hang over now...
Now that you've absorbed all you can in Hollywood, let's move on over to Los Feliz and Silverlake! You can begin your journey at TIKI TI, a tiki bar established in 1961. There are tons of drinks to choose from (they have a wheel you can spin if you can't decide) and its family owned and operated...
Meaning you can smoke inside.
A recommendation for first timers is the location's original and historical "Ray's Mistake". http://www.tiki-ti.com/
Skip on down around the corner and you'll find the GOOD LUCK BAR, a chinese themed bar with more fruity drinks. This place has a smell that's slightly unpleasant... I kinda like the place though!http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/52401/los_angeles_ca/good_luck_bar.html
Want to have a show, dinner, and drinks all in one place, visit EL CID for a flamenco dinner show! Reservations are required, but it's a popular date destination for many...

One block away from El Cid, you'll find a sanctuary... At least I think of this place as one. 4100 BAR has a fantastic juke box and a great bar staff, along with cozy sofas and exotic decor. The only place in town great for a guys night or a girls night out!

Travel deeper into the east side, and discover the RED LION TAVERN. A German bar with many tiny rooms stacked on top of each other. The beer maids wear proper attire, and an old man sings on the organ downstairs. Large outdoor smoking patio upstairs.

Right across the street from the Red Lion, you can find CHA CHA LOUNGE lit up in pink lights... A former gay mexican cowboy bar has transformed into a hipster haven covered in artwork by local artists who have become regulars since the transformation. The photobooth in the back can tickle your creative senses!

If you just want to have some drinks in a simple bar, visit YE RUSTIC INN. Located in the corner of a strip mall, this bar is always loud, and filled with serious drinkers.

In the mini mall directly across from Ye Rustic is the DRAWING ROOM. This is more for the artsy hipster, with a bartender I still cannot figure out the gender of. Tiny and dark, this is the place for no frills and strong drinks.

Going even deeper into Los Feliz now... The BIG FOOT LODGE has DJ's playing rare music and a fun woodland decor. Lots of hipster and rockabillies hang out here... and did I mention lots of pretty girls?

A newer favorite is the Griffin, which i covered in this blog previously.
Located in walking distance from the Big, this is a cozy warm tavern for locals and grown ups. So kids, stay away!!!

If you're a movie junky, swing on over to the Derby where the movie Swingers was shot. This building is also a historical landmark, but there's currently a petition for it to not be torn down... This is a must see architecture before "new" la takes over...
