Saturday, October 3, 2026, 4:00 AM - 9:00 AM · Catcher In The Rye Bar, Burbank, Los Angeles
Grammy-nominated producer James Gabriel launches a new Friday night residency at Catcher In The Rye with DJs and live musicians spinning hip-hop, R&B, Latin, and Afrobeat. Free entry with RSVP, 21+.
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
