I heard from the good people over at Santa Monica’s brand new Nostalgia Bar & Lounge who asked me to pass on this information:  Nostalgia Bar & Lounge, which is described as a “New American eatery and watering hole”, will host its public Grand Opening this Thursday, April 7th at 8pm (reservations are required).  Nostalgia is the first brick and mortar concept from The Herbal Chef™ founder Chris Sayegh, who has experience in Melisse and Providence.  Expect a nostalgic Americana menu with such things as Kobe toast, oysters two ways, and lobster rolls.  Drinks are made using “naturally derived cannabis terpenes” and take their cues from “Otter Pops, PB&J’s, and Yoo-Hoos”.  Throughout the month of April, show proof of Santa Monica residency and receive a complimentary push-pop with purchase.  Nostalgic Bar & Lounge is located at 1326 Pico Blvd (formerly The Speakeasy).  We wish them the best of luck.
