Stache WeHo is known for its fully plant-based menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The nightclub portion offers live entertainment like drag queen bingo, drag shows, karaoke and brunch on the weekends.
Located at 8941 Santa Monica Blvd the restaurant and bar had a soft opening on Wednesday, September 1st for limited dinner hours, and then officially opened on Wednesday, September 8th.
I think it’s more because the crowd they’re drawing in each week is not what they expected. I think when they re-open they should change up the atmosphere a little bit -dump the drag shows (which everybody’s already doing) play music more in line with the age group they wanted to pay homage to and perhaps they’ll get more of the crowd in there that they were hoping for (and that won’t destroy the place each week).
Seems very odd to me. They are SO a concerned but already know they will be ok to reopen NYE???? Ridiculous
