NORTH HOLLYWOOD: We prepped you in July for Bank Heist, the dual personality restaurant-nightclub housed in a 1926 bank. Chef Jorge Gruener fires up the Bank half tomorrow with breakfast, lunch and dinner, but we'll have to wait a bit for Heist's bottle service and name-brand DJs. Upstairs, a lounge will have weekly burlesque shows. Ah, just what we'd expect from the XES men. [5303 Lankershim Blvd., 818.760.1648] [Thrillist]
GLASSELL PARK: Cherith Spicer and a few of her pals/business partners took over what was a Raiders bar (uh oh, some people are gonna come by Sunday and be pissed) and turned it into Verdugo Bar, a more neighborhood-friendly joint. Full bar, lots of beers on tap, DJs, a huge patio, and a rotating menu of food that might be a hot dog truck, might be sushi, depending on the day. Plus, here's one we haven't heard before---a potential flea market? Great, you can sell your old Raiders jersey. [3408 North Verdugo Road, 323.257.3408] [EaterWire/Daily Candy]
