Oh Happy Day. After over 2 months of being closed for violations – not sure what that coulda been – underage drinkers or drugs being sold – who knows – Club Chapala was open again today. Well open for cleaning but scheduled to open tomorrrow for service. YAY. It’s on the way home from from the job i recently started. How i coulda used the place during the summer as i rode my bike on those hot summer days home from work. Lets hope it stays open longer. The for sale sign is not a good sign though. But hopefully with the bad economy the property wont sell for a long time. It.s right across from the Lou Costello Senior Citizens Center.
After being closed for about a year, Echo Parks El Prado is open again. If you want a cool yuppie trendy hangout then this is the place for you. I will never go back though. This former latino clientele neighborhood bar was another victim of Echo Parks gentrification. The bar was gutted out and remodeled and retains nothing of its former life. It’s plain interior is accompanied by its expensive beer prices.

I’m glad they reopened and got a 2nd chance. Are they still open today?
