Frozen alcoholic slushies in the Gaslamp

The nude beach is fantastic in theory, but in reality is just a harsh reminder that you need to stop going on family vacations. For a bar that thankfully got reality-check'd before things got weird, peep Wet Willie's

After being convinced to abandon their dream of opening the concept on a nude beach, the guys behind Willie's eventually settled for Savanna, GA (before spreading all across the Southeast); their first West Coast spot's rocking 19 flat screens, a mural with a giant bikini'd broad riding a fire-breathing sea monster, and a bar backed by 30, eight-gallon daiquiri machines, which you'd need all of if you want to chat up the giant bikini'd broad. Frozen goodness ranges from the lemonade/blue curacao/153 proof rum Shock Treatment, to the "tastes like a fudgesicle" Chocolate Thunder with real cocoa/vanilla ice cream/vodka, to the cherry/strawberry flavored rum & grain alcohol Call a Cab, all of which are also available as non-alcoholic "Weak Willies", which ironically, may be your only hope of maintaining one of any strength. Non-slushy zany-ness includes "Finger Shots" (served in a plastic finger mold), jello shots ( w/ the same 153 proof hooch), and bottled brews; the selection of bar "munchies" ranges from Nathan's hot dogs, to Nacho Average Nachos (w/ cilantro grilled chicken or chipotle pulled pork), to the "Swiss Guard": a juicy black Angus burger loaded with enough Swiss and sauteed mushrooms to ensure your position in The Fat-ican

The second round comes via a list of house favorite ice-combos, and a sugar-free rum punch called "Naked Willie" that mixes with any flavor to create new takes like the Naked Russian, the Naked Monster, and the Naked Mama, which you'll need many of to forget your familiarity with the phenomenon.
