Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

The Los Angeles Brewing Company, set to open this evening, seems to have thought of everything for the downtown crowd: besides local brews, organic cocktails and upscale California comfort cuisine, there is a layout that incorporates Prohibition Era-tunnels, a bullet-riddled metal door and planned expansion that will include a downstairs cigar lounge. But we're really impressed with how Broadway's newest bar plans to cater to downtown's dog-owning residents—a redundant phrase if I've ever heard one. On its website, the bar promises "outdoor dog-sitting." Blogdowntown reports that the bar features a canine-only patio, so patrons can "check" their pooch while they dine inside.

Anything that ensures that no one—especially not the entitled pooches of TV stars—rubs their little doggy butts on the table is okay in our books.
