New Alcoholic Establishment Takes Over Hwood Pot Spot

A Hollywood storefront will swap selling one mind-altering substance for another. The now closed medicinal marijuana space at La Brea and Sunset (not to worry, there’s another pot shop across the street) looks like it’s set to open soon and serve up booze. No word yet on the bar concept but an application to sell alcohol was recently posted in the window under the name "Establishment," operated by managing partners are Shaoul Levy and Shaul Mezrahi. The TBD biz shares a mini-mall with a few eateries, including Burger King and Starbucks. [EaterWire] — Jamie Wetherbe
