Thursday, November 5, 2026, 4:00 AM - 8:00 AM · Catcher In The Rye Bar, Burbank, Los Angeles
Blues Friends celebrates its two-year anniversary with a DJ Shaheed set and a free class with Hunter Krikac and Karine Hermes from 8 to 8:45 PM.
Bookshelves, leather armchairs, and cocktails with names like “Tequila Mockingbird” that lean fully into the literary bit without a trace of embarrassment. Board games cover the tables, karaoke pulls in Valley regulars deep into the night, and the bar food (crispy Brussels sprouts, rye bread pudding) ends up better than anyone expects from a place this committed to the theme.
House-made bread pudding with rye whiskey baked in, the tables last order
Roasted with pork belly and goat cheese — most-reordered item at the bar
Rye-forward literary cocktail that lands better as a drink than it does as a pun
