Gables At Chadds Ford
Write a review423 Baltimore Pike, Chadds Ford, PA 19317 (map)
"I also like this place called The Gables. It's like a really fancy place, and my friend Jack McFadden owns that. It's really good food, but snobby people go there. So at least I don't get bothered because they don't know who I am. I usually just get duck, medium duck. I go in and say, "Give me a beer and a medium duck!"

Antonio's Motel

"Antonio's restaurant is Don Vito's hangout. If I ever want to see my uncle Don Vito (Viva La Bam, Co-Star), I'll just drive past Antonio's, and I'll see his car out there. He's just in the bar by himself sipping on a Budweiser."

Rex's Restaurant & Bar

"Rex's is a sketchy dive bar with PBR tall boys. A lot of good bands play there. I'm actually opening up a new bar in Westchester with the guy from Rex's. We're going to be calling that Filthy Note, which is the name of the record label we have. We have a big stage and everything, but it won't be opened until Christmas 2007."

"I always go to Kooma because it's near my house. It's a sushi place in Westchester, and it's nice. It's the only place you can get Sushi in Westchester where I live, so we go there a lot."

4100 Bar
Read Reviews4100 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026 (map)
"I was with Ville Valo of the band HIM a lot at 4100. That bar's in Silverlake. They were recording in this Mansion called The Paramour. So every time they'd finish up, we'd go down there, sip some beers and he'd be writing. That's a cool place, but when I'm in LA, I'm hardly in the Silverlake area, it's kind of out of the way for me."

Rainbow Bar & Grill
Read Reviews9015 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90069 (map)
"I'm usually on the Sunset Strip when I?m in LA. The Rainbow's a good place. That's usually where all of the rockers hang out. Last time I was there, Glenn Danzig gets out of this old fashioned limo, and he bumps into my wife Missy. So I go, "You know who just bumped into you?" She goes, "No, who?" I reply, "Glenn Danzig." She's just like, "Oh cool, I guess." So I was like, "Cool, you guess? What are you talking about? He's the man!"

Burgundy Room

"In Hollywood, we go to a place called The Burgundy Room. That's where Johnny Knoxville likes to go, and one of his best friends Loomis usually plays like old punk music on Wednesday nights. So that's where they go on Wednesdays. It's so dark though, you can barely recognize your friends when you go there. You can barely even count the money to pay the lady for beer."
