Hollywood has a ‘Star Wars’ themed bar that will be staying until July. The Scum & Villainy Cantina on Hollywood Boulevard will extend its stay. Location founder, J.C. Reifenberg has given the word to continue on since the bar has reaped an incredulous popularity.

 “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy,” and now its future is secured.

Nestled between the storied TCL Chinese and Pantages Theatres in Hollywood, Calfornia, down a dodgy and unassuming alley, lies the Scum and Villany Cantina. Its presence is marked only by the number “94” stenciled on the wall outside, referencing Han Solo’s parking spot in the bustling port.  Once past the bouncer — and the droid scanners — and down a twisty and foggy stuccoed hallway, the path opens up into exactly the cantina you’d expect to find in Star Wars.

The Scum & Villainy Cantina was intended as a temporary experience.  It’s more experience than restaurant, a haven for science fiction fans to have a drink (Blue Milk, anyone?) and gather with our own kind.  Servers and staff wear costumes, and guests are encouraged to do likewise.  “Nestled in the black hole of Hollywood,” it is “an immersive environment where you drink, eat, and hang out as if you were in another galaxy.”

It’s proven so popular that it’s not only declaring its permanence, but expanding its hours too.

Bar owner J.C. Reifenberg said, “We had a simple concept from the start — to provide devoted fans, like myself, the opportunity to gather in an environment that would inspire and delight.”  J. C. and his crew are now pleased to be able to make the Scum & Villainy Cantina permanent.  They are expanding the cantina’s hours, adding to the menu, and discontinuing the need for tickets and reservations.

In addition to the longer hours and larger menu, the cantina will have weekly events such as bingo, trivia contests, and cosplay specials.  Digital jukeboxes will provide access to the sort of geeky music you might hear here on Krypton Radio.

Under the old system, guests with reservations received a souvenir glass and coin.  For guests who already have Scum & Villainy Cantina coins, keep them!  Show your coin to the bartender for a ten percent discount on your bill.

The Scum & Villainy Cantina will be open Friday 8/04/2017 and Saturday 8/05/2017 from 6:00 pm to 2:00 am.  The following week they will be open Thursday 8/10/2017 to Sunday 8/13/2017 from 6:00 pm to 2:00 am.  Check out the cantina’s s official Facebook page for further information.

The cantina is located at 6377 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90028.  The whole family is welcome, whether dressed as Han Solo,  Lt. Uhura, Loki, Wonder Woman, Dylan Hunt, Kaylee Frye, or coming incognito in mundane clothes.   Costumes are welcomed, but not required.   Guests 21 or older must have a valid ID to consume alcohol.

Sci-fi bar offers galaxy's geeks a good time | Reuters

If your idea of a fun Saturday night inclines more toward swinging a light sabre than tripping the light fantastic, then a new bar in Los Angeles may be just the place for you.

The Cantina of Scum & Villainy is a new pop-up bar in Hollywood that encourages patrons to indulge their passion for dressing as their favorite science fiction characters.

“I wanted to build a place that geeks and nerds and cosplayers could all gather and have a place to make pretend. In my head, this is a playset and we are all action figures,” the bar’s creator, J.C. Reifenberg told Reuters.

‘Cosplay’ is a contraction of the words ‘costume’ and ‘play’.

Customers have grasped the opportunity – with elaborate costumes inspired by cinematic aliens, robots and Star Wars’ Princess Leia.

“You truly feel transported into the galaxy far, far away and that’s what they’re doing good is that you feel like you’re in a different place, like, totally,” said Jamie Costa, a patron dressed as Han Solo.

The bar, which borrows its name from a line in the original “Star Wars” film, will be open until the end of June.

When Obi-Wan Kenobi issued his warning to young Luke Skywalker of the denizens of Tatooine’s Mos Eisley Spaceport, he might as well have been talking about Hollywood, California. Ground Zero for tourists and dreamers of every kind with stars in their eyes, like any city Hollywood has its seedy side. It isn’t often, however, that this underbelly becomes the actual destination.

Nestled between the storied TCL Chinese and Pantages Theatres, down a dodgy and unassuming alley, lies the Scum and Villany Cantina; it’s marked only by a stenciled “94” on the wall, referencing Han Solo’s parking spot in the bustling port. Once past the bouncer — and the droid scanners — and down a twisty and foggy stuccoed hallway, the path opens up into exactly the cantina you’d expect to find in Star Wars — although, don’t actually mention Star Wars, as it is not only an in-universe experience, it is also unliscensed as a temporary, “pop up” venue.

You can tell instantly the environment was crafted with love and respect to the 1977 film. An illuminated horseshoe bar and glowing drinks dispensers serve the clientele, as costumed staff bring signature cocktails like “blue milk” ($12, no Republic credits, please) to patrons. You can choose to remain seated at the bar, risking interactions with creatures that “don’t like you!” or jockey for position in one of the cozy alcoves just like Han and Chewie did while negotiating passage to Alderaan with Ben Kenobi — “no questions asked.” Lasers and projections flit about the room cutting through the misty atmosphere, pulsing to the music from science fiction properties of all types filling the air and driving the conversation to high volumes.

You are, of course, encouraged to attend in costumes of your own, and no universe seems off limits- beyond the Corellian smugglers, stormtroopers, wookiees and Jedi I spied several Starfleet uniforms of varying eras, and even a few Independant “browncoat” soldiers from “Firefly”. You may want to forgo the full “Aliens” xenomorph costume though, as the heat and closeness of the bar will make it hard to navigate the club, which seems to hold around 75 people.

J.C. Reifenberg, a documantarian and filmaker perhaps best known for the Star Wars/John Hughes fan film mashup “Hughes the Force”, is primary proprietor of the bar. He says, “We had a simple concept from the start- to provide devoted fans, like myself, the opportunity to gather in an environment that would inspire and delight.”

And it’s a pretty fitting way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of a little space opera from “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” without all that pesky hyperspace travel.

After their first successful 26-day sold-out run, the Scum and Villiany Cantina has extended their lease through the end of the month of June. Basic admission for one can be had for $50 and month-long packages like the “Scum Pass” allow anytime admission for you and a guest throughout June for $200. The basic package gives you admission and 2 drink tokens, a souvenir pint glass and a challenge coin which can be used for discounted re-entry during walk-in availabilities as posted on their Facebook page.
