Old-Time Jam every first Thursday at 1642

I’ve been meaning to write about 1642 bar for a while now since it’s such a cool space in an unusual part of town. Located at 1642 Temple (and technically part of Historic Filipinotown),the decor is simple and friendly with a few seats at the weathered bar, and tables and black booth seats around the interior. There’s an original brick wall along the rights side they had uncovered during the remodel, and gorgeous original antique lamps hanging from the ceiling.

1642 opened up early this Spring after doing quite a bit of remodeling to the 1940s building. The space used to house a restaurant/bar called “Lupita’s,” apparently remembered for paintings of nude women adorning the walls.

Well the nude paintings are gone (are you disappointed?), but you can find owner Liz Fischbach behind the bar, serving up salty peanuts alongside a selection of 4-6 craft beers on tap, plus bottles and cans of other delicious beers, and wines by the glass.

1642 does host some events at the bar, in the past such events included a “Slow Dance” and other such DJ’d events. The next one is coming up soon! The Old-Time Music open Jam night started in May, and will continue every month on the first Thursday. Check it out this Thursday, August 5, from 8:00 – 11:00 pm.

1642 is located at 1642 West Temple St.

Liz” Fischbach (we share a back fence) is a first-time bar owner and took the bar that was once a seedy gangster hangout called Lupita’s with lude paintings of nude women adorning the walls (and is literally 50 feet from her house) and gave it a fresh coat of paint, new furniture and uncovered some of the 1940’s architecture that had been covered up (this space has been a bar since the 1940’s!).  To drink there’s a great selection of 4-6 craft beers on tap (like Eagle Rock Brewery’s Red Velvet!) plus bottles and cans of hard-to-find beers and 3 red and 3 white wines by the glass.  To eat, salted peanuts.  Could not be more perfect.

    Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a
    good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.

    Greetings! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog
    platform are you using for this site? I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with
    hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    You made some really good points there. I checked on the internet for more info
    about the issue and found most individuals will
    go along with your views on this web site.

    I have been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet
    I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
    In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content
    as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.

    Next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t fail me just as much as this particular one. After all, I know it was my choice to read, however I actually thought you would have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.
