BarFly's Review of Panama Red Rum
(see Acapulco's Gold)
Imagine a ramshackle Mexicali dive by, for and about urbanite hipsters transplanted this hidden corner of northwest. The Red Rum attracts a loyal core of the cool kids from... we're not sure where they're from, actually. They've surely been priced out of the area, the bartenders, no matter how attractive, couldn't have this many friends, and it hardly seems a destination.
The food's decent-must we rank burritos? Truly? You've had a burrito, yes? It's like that...with a separate restaurant enabling date nights, but they're best known for their flame-intensive rockabilly-stylee lounge.
Expect every margarita flavor imaginable ready to blend with countless varieties of tequila and a glassy-eyed nymphette at the bar inquiring the provenance of every single brand.
