Tom McNamara's Top 10 LA Bars

the poop deck in Hermosa Beach

For years you've heard Tom McNamara even if you didn't see him. As the Stage Manager at E! you could hear him laugh off screen during "Talk Soup", "Coming Attractions", all the Red Carpet events, and now during "The Soup".

E!'s studios are very small and rarely is there a live audience so the "studio audience" is usually a few cameramen, some producers, and Tom. A long time ago Tom's little "whooooo"s started to be just as funny as the jokes and if you pay attention you can hear him a few times a week.

Anyone who laughs at the jokes on E! is clearly drunk so we asked Tommy Mac if he would contribute to our Best of List with some of his favorite watering holes.

So with no further adieu here are Tom McNamara's Top 10 Best LA Bars

1. Tom Bergins
2. Fat Face Fenners Faloon
3 .On The Rocks
4. Poop Deck
5. Sharks Cove
6. Grunions
7. The Shack
8. Hennessys
9. Lighthouse
10. Hermosa Yacht Club

that's a fuckin retarded list of bars... hermosa beach sucks ass! i should know, i live around the corner...
the poop deck is the only decent one on the list.

Nice to see the South Bay represented, but man, Tom obviously hasn't been around very long. He's still going to the dorky places newcomers go. Sooner or later, he'll discover Ercole's in Manhattan Beach, The Mermaid and the Pitcher House in Hermosa Beach and the Bull Pen and Old Tony's in Redondo Beach and he won't make such mistakes with his Top 10 list. I won't give him too much grief though, The Shack belongs on any list.
