Finally, a place on Hawthorne that doesn't serve hummus. Even though it just opened in January, it looks like it's been there for eons. Home to loads of lumber, hanging lamps, a pool table and "Velvet," a semi-nude painting of a business-suited missy that hangs over the bar, GDM resembles a private room you'd see buried deep inside the Playboy Mansion—or at the far end of a golf course. It's old-school butch with a CPA-on-a-bender edge; coincidentally (or perhaps not), the space was previously an honest-to-God accounting firm. Although the name sounds like the title of a Neil Young bootleg, its inexpensive menu of rustic grilled-cheese sammies ($5), deviled eggs ($3.50) and "fish 'n' chips" (puff pastry-wrapped halibut with roasted potatoes, $10) is anything but hippie-dippy. It even has "scorpion bowls," those 60-ounce killer cocktails served in giant orbs. All that's missing are some fake boobs. (BB)
