Order This Drink To Save You From A Bad Date At A Hermosa Beach Bar

HERMOSA BEACH, CA — With dating apps that connect you with strangers like Tinder and Bumble, safety becomes an increasing concern for women. However, at the popular Hermosa Beach bar Patrick Molloy's, a system has been set up to protect women that feel unsafe: the Angel Shot.

When women walk into the restroom at the bar, according to Fox 11, a sign gives instructions on what to tell the bartender if there is an issue with their date. An Angel Shot ordered clean will get the woman an escort to her car, an Angel Shot with ice will result in the bartender calling an Uber or Lyft for the woman, and an Angel Shot with lime will result in the bartender calling the police.

"The Angel Shot program is to help females just in case they go on a blind date like with Tinder, Plentyoffish, all that stuff, if they feel uncomfortable in any way, they can give us a secret code and we can help them," said Vi Nguyen, the bar manager at Patrick Molloy's to Fox 11. 'We got a lot of good feedback from the girls who do see the posters in the bathroom stalls and that's one of the best things ever.

Nguyen told Fox 11 that the system has been in place for three or four months now, and no one has had to order an Angel Shot.
