Photos: Inside Hollywood's Will Ferrell-Themed Pop-Up Bar

Congress has cut federal funding for public media — a $3.4 million loss for LAist. We count on readers like you to protect our nonprofit newsroom. Become a monthly member and sustain local journalism.

The legend of Ron Burgundy has found its way to Los Angeles.

Earlier this week, the L.A. pop-up of New York's Stay Classy Bar finally landed right in the heart of Hollywood. Inside the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres (the multiplex, not the actual Chinese Theatre), Will Ferrell fanatics can enjoy Will Ferrell-themed cocktails while sitting under Will Ferrell posters and artwork. Perhaps you'd like to chase your Big Foot's Dick (whiskey, orange bitters, lime, sour mix, lemon fizz) with a Milk Was a Bad Choice (vanilla Stoli, vanilla schnapps, milk, ice)?

Stay Classy will only be in town for seven more nights, running through Thursday, December 15th. While Will Ferrell has not dropped by (yet), Will Ferrell cosplayers have made appearances, including a seasonally-appropriate Buddy from Elf. Another surprise guest has been Ron Burgundy's old brother, "John Burgundy," a used car salesman from the Valley:

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.

Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.

We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.

No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.

Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.

Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
