your review here…

I will admit up front that I think Yelp and it’s ilk are just flat out useless except for posting hours of operation. Too many opinions from people who didn’t get their precious food fast enough or complaints about parking. So, instead of just complaining about it, why not fix it? Just for the beer world in Los Angeles at least. Each month, I will ask for reader opinion on a new or old beer bar or restaurant that I haven’t visited.

I am asking because I am in Glendale and I don’t want to drive across town for beer that I can get out here unless the beer list, vibe, the location or the food really warrants it.

So first in the crosshairs, here is your chance to let me know your reactions and reviews of the newly opened Venice Ale House. Have you been? Was the beer list good? How was the service?
