"West LA hangout Freddy Smalls has closed its doors for the final time. The once-popular restaurant and bar was for years a casual fixture on the Pico Boulevard stretch near the 405, offering pub staples like burgers, salads, and cocktails, plus weekday happy hour, sports on TV, and the usual vibes of a local drinking hangout. The place first opened back in 2011 under owner Jeff Weinstein, who also founded The Counter." - Farley Elliott
