If you haven’t been to 1642 bar in Echo Park/Historic Filipinotown down there on Temple, you are missing out!

Picture this: Great beer, great wine, friendly service (rare in LA!), and the cool atmosphere of a recently-remodeled-though-not-overdone 1940s building with the decor to match. On tap this week: Eagle Rock Brew’s Populist IPA, Allagash Black, Lost Abbey Port Shark Attack, and North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner. Yum!

Tonight, Thursday, February 3, is the monthly Old-Time Music open Jam from 8:00 – 11:00 pm. The event is hosted by Triple Chicken Foot, an old-time string band that will get your heels a-clackin’ and will give you the urge to pan for gold.

1642 is located at 1642 West Temple St.
