Scum and Villainy Cantina
Scum and Villainy Cantina on Hollywood Boulevard is a sci-fi and fantasy themed bar that draws its clearest inspiration from the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars, though it pulls from a broader range of genre references throughout. There are no TVs and no windows, which is deliberate: the goal is full immersion, and the bartenders dress in character and engage with the premise. The drinks come with themed names and the menu stays in the spirit of the concept. Entry is free, walk-ins are welcome, and the bar is open from noon on weekends and 5pm on weekdays. The no-bullying policy and deliberately inclusive atmosphere make it a genuinely welcoming space for anyone who comes in a costume and anyone who doesn't.
