Get a taste of Old Hollywood in Beverly Hills at Blue on Blue in the Avalon Hotel. Once a popular hang out for starlets and members of the Rat Pack, recent Celebrity Sippers include Kathy Griffin who recently showed off her newly taught-and-toned bikini body with new “bff” Paris Hilton.

You can take center stage and “Kick the Blues” during the poolside Happy Hour on weeknights from 4-8 pm. Wine-by-the-glass and well drinks are available for $8, as are specialty cocktails shaken with fresh ingredients from the Farmer’s Market and herbs grown on the hotel’s rooftop patio. (We suggest the VTC made with Veev Acai spirit, Basil & Cucumber.)

All that Star Gazing work up an appetite? Graze on a selection of $8 small plates such as savory Smoked Salmon (Cucumber, Crème Fraiche, Fried Capers, Crispy Lavosh) or Mini Bacon-Cheese Burgers (Cheddar, Smoked Bacon, Garlic Ailoi).

L.A. hotels, take note: Blue on Blue also offers complimentary valet to all guests during Happy Hour!

Feeling Groovy? Thursday nights from 7-10 pm the “Groove on Blue” features an indie/electro soundtrack spun by DJ Grand Marquee and offers additional $8 “groove” cocktails such as the sweet Blue Avalon (Bacardi, Malibu, Blue Curacao, Pineapple, Sprite) or their surprise “Groove Punch.”

Got sunscreen? Sunday is funday with the poolside “Detox / Retox” party from 2-8 pm when DJ Grand Marquee returns with “eclectic mix” of European lounge music. Cure yourself after a rough Saturday night with healthy smoothies and spa-style refreshments, or morning-after Bloody Marys—all for $6-8.

Kick the summertime blues to the curb. Blue on Blue will have you feeling like a star faster than you can order a second round!
