"Embattled Atwater Village bar The Griffin is open once again, following a weekend shutdown after an incident involving the Proud Boys. The bar plans a neighborhood fundraiser with proceeds going to the Southern Poverty Law Center and local non-profit organizations. The Griffin, known as a mellow hangout for Eastsiders, was involved in a scuffle with the Proud Boys, leading to a police call but no charges. The bar is taking steps like hanging 'no tolerance' signs and scrutinizing entrants more closely." - Farley Elliott
