QUICK BITES

A dive revived

> A Hollywood dive bar fabled to have served the likes of the Beatles, Janis Joplin, Charles Bukowski and Jim Morrison has reopened under the new ownership of a prolific, cocktailforward hospitality group. Pouring With Heart (the Varnish, Normandie Club, Seven Grand, Cole’s, 4100 Bar, etc.) redesigned the space to evoke its pre-2014 aesthetic, harking back to the business’ dive-bar days and offering $3 Pabst Blue Ribbon during happy hour (a nod to the menu at what was then Powerhouse), as well as local and craft beer. The “dirty dozen” cocktail menu focuses on classics — gimlet, sazerac, negroni, Manhattan, daiquiri, gin martini, whiskey sour, oldfashioned, etc. 1714 N. Highland Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 463-9438, powerhouse hollywood.com

Pop-up parade

> Diego Argoti, the former Bestia sous chef behind guerrilla pasta pop-up Estrano Things, is running a series of collaborations and pop-ups from L.A. chefs at Echo Park arcade bar Button Mash through the end of October. Pop-ups include Comfy Pup, Hamburgers Nice, the Bad Jew, Zef BBQ, Pearl River Deli and Little Dacha. A new bar menu of Argoti-made items such as Korean fried cauliflower, ricotta gnocchi and a chile crisp burger will be available when the pop-ups sell out. After the stretch of pop-ups, Argoti is set to take over the kitchen with a new restaurant concept separate from his Estrano Things street pasta menus.
