"LA’s famous OB Bear, a legendary late night bar and restaurant that has served Koreatown for decades, was heavily damaged from a fire over the weekend. Despite the extensive damage, the Lee family is hopeful that they can reopen in the space, though OB Bear will be closed until further notice. OB Bear first opened in 1988 by Jason and Hee Soo Lee, who established the popular Koreatown bar as one of LA’s best Korean-style suljips. The bar was known among sports fans and late night owls for its stellar food — especially its spicy chicken wings." - Matthew Kang
