Before the Date…
Reminents of the past become demolished or decommissioned in this city at an alarming rate making it ever so difficult to do that one thing we love so much: time travelling. Luckily for all of us Culver City locals have taken care of their relics for decades leaving it easy for you to step into the past to feel a piece of yesteryear. From the food to the bar games to music you hear on this night you’ll fly from the late 40s through to the 2000s.
So recruit your favorite time traveller and head out for a night spent in the past.

BITES
What to Know
This sandwich gem has been serving up pastrami’s since 1952. This means they only take cash. A theme throughout the entore evening.
Coors Banquet is on draught for $4.75, bargain of the town. With regards to the food, a half pastrami, an order of fries and a banquet will hold you over til well after midnight.
If you have 3+ people it’s highly suggested to sit outside by the fire pit. Inside gets pretty steamy when people start arriving around 8:45pm.
Alternative: If you are looking to go a bit more high brow hit up Maple Block Meat Co.. It’s a modern Texas BBQ place that’s absolutely hits the spot.

This pour cocktails the real way: stiff. All you gotta do is ask. The crowds will start to cruise in around 10pm, try to get there in the 9 o’clock hour for ample bar game time.
The competition on the pool table seems to be pretty intense. Some guys have their own pool cues. Jump on the shuffleboard instead. Be ready to toss it very very lightly.
