Working sucks and working in the summer sucks even more.

Seriously though, is there anything worse than having to go to work in July? Nope, there's not. This is supposed to be a time of tanning, drinking and sleeping, not the season of sitting in an office slaving away every day.

Well unfortunately this whole working thing is pretty necessary if you want to keep your job and your paycheck, but luckily a new beer hall has arrived in order to make your work day suck a little bit less. Residents of L.A, meet Barrel Down-- your new summer savior.

Barrel Down is the newest and most awesome Beer Hall to hit LA, and while you still might not be able to sleep or tan all day, you can at least get that drinking part going thanks to it. With 40 different beers on tap, delicious cocktails like the Bankrobber and the Angel's Flight, and built in USB and power outlets at the bar, you can get that presentation done while you down brews and munch on bar bites, which sounds like a pretty good way to spend the day to us. P.S-- you might want to go ahead and proofread that report before you hit send.

Not only are there delicious bar bites as mentioned above, like the Sweet and Sticky Ribs, Beer Dough Pretzels and the Kansas cornbread, but there are tons of other meal options like burgers and sandwiches, salads, and main plates, making it a great spot to even have a little lunch and learn session. There's also a picturesque outdoor patio making it the perfect place for you to meet that intern you've been hitting on for drinks (dude, she better at least be 21), your tinder date for dinner, or whatever other kind of date you somehow managed to get.

So while your job still might suck and you don't get to tan and sleep all day, you can at least go day drink thanks to Barrel Down.
