"Sassafras Saloon is an eight-year-old Southern-themed bar on Vine Street in Hollywood, complete with live music played from a second-floor balcony and popular cocktails like mint juleps available all night long — at least during non-pandemic times. The bar is owned and operated by the powerful 1933 Group, the LA-based nightlife consortium with a preservationist bent. Ownership also operates decades-old properties like the Formosa Cafe, Highland Park Bowl, Idle Hour in the San Fernando Valley, and has confirmed plans to reopen LA’s historic hot dog stand Tail O’ the Pup." - Farley Elliott
