Blue Palms Brew House (via Facebook)
The Blue Palms Brew House, which is housed inside the imperiled Music Box at the Henry Fonda, said that it will be closing its doors on Sunday night.Blue Palms Brew House is sub-leased under the Music Box—so its survival has been intricately tied to what happens to the music venue. Owner Brian Lenzo told the Los Angeles Times that the restaurant and bar is being forced to close its doors. The owner said that he is trying to work something out with the owners of the property, so that he doesn't have to shut its doors for good.
"I'm trying to stay positive," Lenzo told the Times. "The support of the beer community has been unbelievable."
