12 Days Of Atwater Village / Bigfoot Lodge
The Bigfoot Lodge was an obvious choice for the 12 days of Atwater Village as Sam and I spend are fair share of time at this bar. Not just because of the drinks but because of Sam's participation in Bigfoot's monthly Knotty Pine Derby Races. These epic races take place on the last Tuesday of each month. You can guarantee seeing us there getting our race on. Well, at least Sam. I've raced a couple but quickly lost interest when my car won for ugliest. No one understood my ode to Pink Floyd's Animals theme. Sigh. At least I won coolest for Darkside of the Oz. But besides the races, this 1903 group's bar is a fixture of Atwater. Upon entering it reminds you of Disneyland's Country Bear Jamboree. A warm fireplace, wood decor and lots of interesting characters hanging on the wall, it's no wonder why this neighborhood bar is a must.
