Shake Shack Will Pop Up For One Night This Month Before Opening

Months ahead of Shake Shack's much-anticipated West Hollywood opening, the famed New York-based burger chain is doing a one-day pop-up later this month.
On Monday, January 25, Son of a Gun, the seafood hotspot from Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, will play host to the East Coast burger giant, according to Shake Shack. For the one night, they'll be serving up Shake Shack's original ShackBurger, their signature crinkle cut fries served with malt vinegar aioli and tabasco ketchup, and a whoopie pie-style Shackwich, stuffed with peanut butter frozen custard and toffee. Son of a Gun will also serve up a special tuna melt for the occasion.
They won't be taking reservations, so expect to wait in a (very) long line. Burger-hungry guests will be able to line-up before the 6 p.m. opening.
In addition to the spring opening in West Hollywood, there's also a Glendale location of Shake Shack scheduled to open later this year.

The Shake Shack pop-up will take place on Monday, January 25 and will run from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Son of a Gun is located at 8370 W 3rd St., Beverly Grove, (323) 782-9033
Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story included a link to an Eater L.A. story that suggested additional pop-ups were planned ahead of the spring opening, but Shake Shake has since told LAist that no additional pop-ups are planned at this time. They also inform us that at the pop-up beer and wine will be available for purchase, along with three cocktails, the Gold Rush (Bourbon, honey, lemon), Citrus Rum Punch (Rum, orange, grapefruit), and Moscow Mule (Vodka, ginger, lime) for $8 each.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
