Wine Adventures: The Blind Rabbit in Anaheim

“Which way you ought to go depends on where you want to get to...” 

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

We went looking for a Rabbit. 

It wasn't an easy task at first but then we spotted it.

   The Blind Rabbit that is.  

I don't know how we didn't know about this place the first time we went to the Anaheim Packing House,  but once we found out about it we had to go back again.  We are suckers for any kind of secret hidden bar.   Good Time at Davey Wayne's in Los Angeles was totally cool--so the second we found out about this place we had to check it out.

At first we couldn't even find the entrance, but with a little persistence we figured it out.

This little hidden bar was right up our alley.  

It had music and the feel of something from the 1930's.  It reminded us of the Tower of Terror at Disneyland.

The Blind Rabbit is a fun little getaway that transports you to another time and another era.

They had some cool and unique cocktails.  Being a Tiki fan we of course had to try the Topless Hula Girl.

We also had to order a glass of Black Stallion Chardonnay.

(After all this is a Wine Blog)

Here is a cool little Fireplace area that is filled with old books, makes for a unique addition to the atmosphere.

Your bill arrives in the inside of a hollowed out book.  A nice touch.

 Goodbye for now Blind Rabbit ---we hope to see you again someday.

A Wine and Cheese Adventure: The Anaheim Packing House

We had a little Wine Adventure in the O.C. Orange County has a lot of cool places for a Wine Adventure. We previously discussed the O.C. Mix and The Camp....which you can check out here.

This last summer one of our Wine Adventures took us to Anaheim.

We had never even heard of the Anaheim Packing District before until one of our Facebook friends has posted about it and we thought it was worth checking out.

 The Anaheim Packing District is a really cool little spot with a bunch of food options and shops.  We would say it has the same general feel of the O.C. Mix and the Camp.

After we wandered the shops we stopped and had a couple of glasses of wine in this stylish little wine getaway.  Among the Restaurants and hangouts sits the BXCR which is a cool little Wine Bar set inside on old Boxcar.   Their chef wasn't there the day we stopped by so we will have to come back to try out the food next time.  

Here is there website

The look and vibe of the place was right up our alley.

Very Urban Industrial

We stopped and ate at a place called the Black Sheep Grilled Cheese Bar......OMG this is worth a trip to Anaheim all by itself. 
 It is associated with The Cellar Wine Bar in San Clemente and has the best Grilled Cheese sandwiches ever.  We would totally recommend this to any lovers of Cheese.

Outside was an Arts and Crafts Farmer's Market style area and within walking distance is the Anaheim Brewing Company if you want to do some Beer Tasting.  A reason for us to return as if the Grilled Cheese Bar wasn't enough of a reason.
