SM's The Bungalow is Down, Hopes to Serve Again Soon

The Bungalow, Santa Monica's rowdy, bohemian-dressing drinking garden and cottages at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, has abruptly ceased service. Management was alerted this week of a need to adjust their ABC license and in the meantime is also performing cosmetic repairs and enlarging a restroom. The property is expected to reopen as soon as possible. Says The Bungalow crew:

This week we were notified that the hotel's state issued ABC license to sell alcoholic beverages needed to be amended to include our extremely successful Bungalow, located on the hotel grounds, about 50' from the hotel entrance. While the paperwork is completed for this amendment, we are taking the opportunity to perform some needed upgrades and repairs. In particular, we are expanding our women's restrooms and performing other cosmetic work that became necessary because of the large patronage the Bungalow receives. We are working at breakneck speed to get the paperwork and the construction completed and we decided that the work could be completed under an expedited schedule if we temporarily closed the Bungalow.
