 I'm Zach, I'm an LA native and a full-time bartender and I'm going to drink every damn margarita in this town. It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I'm at Lucy's on Melrose in the heart of Hollywood. So I actually don't know much about this place except that it opened in 1964. The most noticeable thing about it is that it's across the street from Paramount. So lots and lots of industry people have been coming here for decades. This is a very old style of Mexican restaurant, one that I'm deeply fond of because I came to places a lot like this growing up. Another thing I'll say about this place, this also actually has some kick to it. Some people might be put off by spies. I enjoy it. This is just past the level of what I think some people can take and I enjoy it. I don't know if I'm making it in-house. I like it. Can I get a house margarita on the rocks please? Margarita on the rocks? Thank you. Just one, right? Yeah, thanks. Here you go. All right. And this is margarita for you? Yes. You're not gonna try it tonight, are you? No, I'm just gonna be bartending and getting people drunk. Oh, okay. Gracias. Thank you. No garnish. This is good. I like it. It's got sour mix. It's a little on the sweet side. I like the color. It's definitely a sneaker. I can't feel it now, but I will in about five minutes. This place is great. Places like this are going away. If you live in the LA area, come by here. The service is fantastic. The chorizo bean dip is really good. I need to come up with a cocktail called the sneaker. It's called tequila, it's like at the top. Jeez. I swear I just got a sip and it's like all booze. Yeesh. I'd also point out that this place hasn't changed much. That's a good thing. I really like the way it looks. It feels its age in a really good way. It's very much locked in the time period that it was opened and I like that a lot and get your sneaker. Now for a shift at work. If you liked it, please hit like. Consider subscribing. You're going to be drinking a lot more margaritas. For more margaritas and stupidity, subscribe. So while I was shooting B-roll for this video, I started talking to a man who was hanging around the restaurant. He turned out to be the current owner, Lucy's son. I expressed concern that places like this were going away and asked him how business was. He told me not to worry because despite frequent offers to buy the restaurant, he isn't selling. So that's the good news. This place isn't going anywhere. All that said, don't put off coming here. It's something else.
