Mark & Johnny Houston Take Over Crane's Hwood Tavern

Mark and Johnny Houston are the brotherly duo responsible for an abyss of rum at La Descarga, the newish hipster haunt known as Harvard & Stone, the Frenchified forthcoming Pour Vous, something at Jane's House, a beer garden on Sunset, and yet one more. A liquor license was just recently activated in the name of Mark Houston at the shuttered Crane's Hollywood Tavern on El Centro, that tiny little dive that held the most bizarre of parties. Apparently the boys actually snagged this space a while ago, before they overhauled Harvard & Stone, but per the recent liquor license activation, the venue is finally preparing for its relaunch.
