While playing a game of pool and enjoying a stiff drink at Fullerton bar Bananas, it's hard to imagine this joint has changed much over the decades. The large room is covered by vaulted wood ceilings supported by a lattice work of beams. Ceiling fans twirl, tube televisions flicker, and suds are slung. The crowd features a nice mix of young and veteran imbibers. Bananas offers a small selection of draft beers, but the liquor lineup at the full bar is impressive. Distractions include three pool tables and a couple of electronic dartboards. Thursday nights see performances from local bands; this old dog actually allows for some good acoustics.

http://www.beachwoodbbq.com In the age-old debate over dry-vs.-wet rub when barbecuing, Beachwood BBQ and Brewery in Long Beach fiercely makes a strong case for dry – although defiant diners will nonetheless find a variety of sauces on their tables. The younger sister of the original Seal Beach location is hog heaven if you like pigging out on long-marinated and slow-smoked North Carolina-style pulled pork and baby back ribs that go perfect with the brewery’s 36 craft beers, including a few house-made ones. If you don’t swing the way of swine, try the brisket, lamb and beef ribs or smoked chicken. Though the ‘que here is the main attraction, don’t gloss over the appetizers and sides, which feature typical Southern fare, from fried green tomatoes to macaroni and cheese, as well as more modernized comfort food like the tater tot casserole with duck gravy, vanilla-scented pecan yams and lamb corn dogs. There’s even a late-night happy hour menu for stragglers that includes a pulled pork sandwich for a mere five bucks. Read more about this Orange County bar or club >>
This Glendale mainstay got its name from a giant marlin that hangs on the back wall, surrounded by nautical knickknacks, books, games and dad's-den-like furniture. There's a tiny stage for karaoke, comedy and occasional bands, and a pool table in the middle of the room that's rarely available (regulars seem to like it a lot). From 1966 to 1980, the space was called the Tiger's Den, but the Big Fish, which is a family-owned business, brought a more welcoming feel. Thirty years on, the Fish seems well-anchored, building a community of drinkers, sports fans and bona fide bar buddies. The owners print out a monthly card with an event calendar, a list of "customer birthdays" and even season-appropriate limericks written by the owner's father.
