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

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.
