Restaurant Preview: The Mercantile
Know something we don't?
While the old Casting Office will be missed (it closed in 2007), the new location of this classic hopes to make up for it this year with bathrooms clean enough to eat in (ok maybe not that clean).
A former haunt of George C. Scott's, The Casting Office is one part sports bar, one part drinker's paradise. The commuter set has always loved the Casting Office as a welcome diversion from horrific 101 traffic jams, and the new location still fits the bill for waiting out a nasty parking lot-esque scenario on the freeway whilst on your way back to the valley from L.A. (or visa-versa...yes people do the reverse commute).
Just remember not to have more than a few here before you get back into your car (drinks are reasonably priced here so you will be tempted).

I'm not a big fan of dive bars but I certainly do like this place. Cozy seats, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. It's a nice place to chill after a long...
