The Inland Empire’s oldest brewery is finally becoming legal.

The event will feature food, music, Jell-o shots and plenty of beer, including the returning Bloakside Down (a barrel-aged upside brown ale) and Off With Her Head! (a barrel-conditioned dryhopped Pomona Queen).

Food will be available from Bad Guys Pizza, El Chilote and Ron’s BBQ.

The brewery is also selling 21st anniversary T-shirts for $21.

The event is free to attend.

Last Name Brewing — formerly Dale Bros. Brewery — is at 2120 Porterfield Way, Upland.

New in San Bernardino

When I was told more than a year ago that someone was planning to open a Waffle House in San Bernardino, I was skeptical.

There were so many reasons not to believe that information, the main one being that the chain has never ventured further west than the Phoenix area.

So I watched the building as construction was done, the building was painted and a drive-thru was added to it.

And it turns out it’s not a Waffle House after all, but a waffle house.

Chicken George Waffle House opened recently at 604 W. 40th St.

The restaurant offers a variety of breakfast and lunch/dinner plates with waffles and either breakfast meats or bonein fried chicken or fried chicken tenders.

Family meals with multiple pieces of chicken and waffles are also available, along with a variety of sides.

Online ordering is available. Hours are 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

Get caffeinated in Riverside …

A new coffeehouse has opened in Riverside.

Coffeecito is now open in a 1900-era house at 3882 12th St.

The shop serves pastries and coffee drinks.

Online ordering is available at coffeecitohouse.com.

Hours are 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday.

… and in San Bernardino

A new coffeehouse has also opened in San Bernardino.

Caffé Liscio is now open at 330 N. D St.

The shop offers a selection of sandwiches, pastries and coffee drinks.

Online ordering is available at caffeliscio.life.

Hours are 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Penny Croissanwich

In honor of National Croissant Day on Tuesday, Burger King is offering Croissanwiches for one penny. The deal is available for the chain’s Royal Perks members via the app or website with a purchase of $1 or more.

Gone forever

A longtime former San Bernardino restaurant has recently been razed following decades of vacancy.

The restaurant at 2383 Sterling Ave. appears to have begun life as Lord Jeffrey’s, but is probably better known as Johnny’s Steak House.

If memory serves, Johnny’s lasted through the

’70s into the early ’90s, and at one point — I’m thinking mid-’90s — it became a Roscoe’s House of Chicken and Waffles.

After Roscoe’s (and Shagg’s, a Roscoe’s clone), it was sold to a Puerto Rican family, who intended to open Rubio’s Cocina.

Signs were put up on the restaurant, but Rubio’s never happened, and the restaurant never reopened.

Sorry, we're closed

The longtime Rancho Cucamonga Claim Jumper has closed, reports reader Timm.

Signage has been stripped from the building at 12499 Foothill Blvd., but the location remains on the chain’s website.

A nearby Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt location has also closed.
