Blue Collar Grind

Fairfax’s Blue Collar Bar Just Opened a New Speakeasy With a Secret Bookcase Entry | Eater LA

"A decade‑old bar that also hosts the speakeasy entrance to Cold Shoulder, Blue Collar enforces the revolving‑password, invitation‑only entry via a hidden bookcase and serves as the neighborhood hub that supported the team during early COVID‑19 by buying gift cards; Vincent Laresca and his partners used their own money to expand into Cold Shoulder as a way to give back to the community. The Blue Collar hostess is the gatekeeper for Cold Shoulder access." - Mona Holmes
