HOLLYWOOD HILLS—On July 30, the Los Angeles Department of Public Health (LACDPH) closed Good Times at Davey Wayne’s located at 1611 N. El Centro Avenue in Hollywood. According to the LACDPH, the popular 1070s themed retro bar and nightlife hot spot, was closed due to the infestation of vermin-rats.
According to LACDPH, the mandatory closure was the result of an 11-point deduction on their health score citing the presence of rodents. The closure is reportedly temporary. The reopening date is unknown.
Davey Wayne’s enthusiast walked through what appeared to be an old garage sale and went through a secret entrance that was honestly a vintage refrigerator door. The backyard bar resembled an old Airstream motor home and featured a backyard patio.
This is not the only business in our viewing area to be closed by LACDPH. There are dozens more listed on the report outside of the Canyon News coverage area. The complete updated list of businesses with their violations may be found on the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s website.
