REGENT THEATER
Originally built in 1914 as the National Theater, it was one of twenty entertainment venues on Main Street, in what was then known as the "Theater District" of Los Angeles. Throughout the years, it was a “grindhouse” and adult-movie theater, before closing in 2000. Over a decade later, it was transformed into a music venue by Spaceland Presents , which brought in New Theme and TEG to revitalize the 104-year-old building. The Regent re-opened in 2014 with a completely updated interior, a second-story mezzanine, an attached bar (Lovesong) and a restaurant (Prufrock Pizzeria). The Regent also hosts monthly events such as the Rock 'N' Roll Flea Market and an 80's/90's dance party.

BRENNAN'S: Turtle Races
Brennan's is an Irish Pub in Marina Del Rey, established in 1972, known for its long tradition of weekly turtle races. In 2017, ABC (Artisinal Brewers Collective, a new powerhouse in Los Angeles) rehabilitated this local hub by revamping the aesthetic that invokes nostalgia for the long-time guests, updating the food menu, and adding a badminton court. ABC even consulted with a herpetologist and created a lovely sanctuary, to ensure the health and happiness of the beloved turtles (some of which have been a part of Brennan's for two decades). The turtles now race once a month, but guests can admire them through their sanctuary window, as they happily swim around or munch on their snacks.
