I spend a lot of time here writing about Hermosa Beach bars and restaurants' relationship with the community, a complicated and multi-faceted dynamic to say the least.
Most of the time, the stories are about neighbors upset over loud bars, or the city shutting down restaurants early, or nightclub owners lobbying for specific City Council candidates.
So, it's always refreshing to write about a bar doing something good in Hermosa Beach.
Pier Plaza mainstay Patrick Malloy's is set this week to give a South Bay children's charity more than $3,300 in donations from patrons and owners.
For the last two Thursdays, every customer who donated $5 to Cheer for Children got a free drink voucher, and bar owners matched the total contribution, said owner Fred Hahn.
The result of all that imbibing is $3,300 in donations for the Redondo Beach-based charity that helps South Bay children and their families, Hahn said.
Hopefully next Christmas season, Patrick Malloy's customers will order a little hair-of-the-dog. Cheers!
