Three Line Lunch: Basketball Banter at the Bel Air Bar & Grill

Basketball Banter at the Bel Air Bar & Grill

I grab last happy hour stool, game on TV. Elegant woman in fur coat, with girlfriend,
Talks playoffs deep-voiced with bartender Armando, who re-pours their white wine
Without being asked. “We’re Lakers and UCLA fans,” she tells me, “here all the time.”
