Dillon's Irish Pub

Stars on the Hollywood "Walk of Fame" at Hollywood and Vine

One of the joys of living in Southern California is being able to visit Hollywood whenever you feel like dodging a lot of traffic.

This past Saturday I stopped by Dillon's Irish Pub, right on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, for a very fine lunch with a friend.

Dillon's looks like it pretty much stepped right out of the 'old world'.  It's an Irish Pub, for sure, but it's also a sports bar, and people in the back room were watching the soccer match and being very enthusiastic about their team.  Our lunch was punctuated by lots of "oohs" and "Aahs" and loud yells.  It was actually rather funny.

The food was great. I had a seared Mahi-Mahi that was truly yummy.  I noticed there were a few Irish staples on the menu - like corned beef and cabbage.  Oh, and the digital clock on the wall was counting down to St. Patrick's Day!

 The weather was a perfect sunny California day.

I love L.A.
