| The Griffin – SOLD |
| The Griffin, a live music venue since 2011, located on Morena Boulevard, recently sold and will be reopening shortly under the new name Sidecar. The new owners, who also operate the Regal Beagle in Mission Hills and the Regal Seagull in Leucadia, intend on shifting the previous concept of a music venue to more of a neighborhood bar with arcade games and program centered around “honest cocktails” and well-chosen selection of craft beers. Paul Ahern of Location Matters represented both the buyer and seller in the sale. |
