Imagine ice-cold draft beer from an iced tower, 18 perfectly
handcrafted Martinis, and some of the most unique house
drinks. Combine that with a wide selection of great food
items for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Throw in two stateof-the-art, high-end 60” plasma TVs and four 32” LCD TVs
to watch your favorite sports and news channels. Put all of
this on a beautiful golf course with a panoramic view and
comfortable environment and you have one of the most
innovative, cutting edge restaurants to hit Downey.
