DOWNTOWN— Brigham Yen notices that Silo Vodka Bar is in the process of expanding into Flames Mediterranean Grill. Owner Boris Mayzels says that he will open Silo Slider Bar in the space next door, however the two concepts, Silo Vodka Bar and Silo Slider Bar, will not be connected on the interior since only the Vodka Bar is license to serve booze. That could change in the future though. In other Silo news, the Vodka Bar has a new chef on board as of February 1, Gustavo Rodriquez, and a revamped "gourmet" menu should launch in the near future.

SANTA MONICA— Oh my. Toddrickallen delves deeper into the Broadway Ale House shutter and discovers that owner Eden Beloved Noe was accused of selling coke and marijuana from behind the bar. She claims it was an employee and not her, but that sounds SKETCHY. Very. Anyway, new proprietor Mark Jason Marquez is set to take over. [Toddrickallen]
