TDA is a classic Burbank dive that's been re-ownered (by a man also named Tony) and closed for the last few months, giving it time to be cleaned out and only-slightly gussied up, with new vinyl banquettes, brand new full-backed barstools, an expoxy'd wood bar, and a high-end tap system, doling out over 30 locally crafted draughts, but no bottles, since the owner wants it to be "waste free" -- just try explaining that to your urethra. To ensure sustainability/freshness, the brews are all Californian, with oft-rotating offerings served in what they call an "honest pint", a 19.75oz cup that guarantees you both a full pour plus substantial room for head (ha!?); options include Lost Abbey's creamy, 10.5% Judgment Day, Eagle Rock Brewery's mild Solidarity ale, and the German-style Einhorn Spezial, which, despite reports to the contrary, is not Finkel Spezial. Since you're gonna have to eat something, Tony's is also serving up all sorts of gourmet, locally-sourced sausages, including a sun-dried tomato chicken, a natural pork andouille, and a Monte Carlo sweet Italian, with a schload of toppings including both creole and coarse mustard, cilantro-tomatillo salsa, and Fiscalini Farms San Joaquin cheese, which has a nutty, crazy-man beard texture and pairs well with unintelligible raps.
