Best Star Wars Themed Bar in Hollywood: Scum & Villainy Cantina
The Star Wars bar, Scum and Villainy Cantina has become a permanent fixture in Hollywood! See what to expect from this classic movie in Los Angeles! They take pride in being called a “Geek Bar!”
Scum & Villainy Cantina
Location: 6377 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, California, CA 90028
In Los Angeles there are many pop-up events to go to that are only around for a limited amount of time, such as restaurants like the Saved by the Bell - Saved by the Max, the Museum of Ice Cream and now there a Star Wars themed bar, Scum & Villainy. Now it is staying as a permanent fixture in Hollywood! We all remember the cantina scene in A New Hope, where Han shot first, right?
If not here it is:
I love the Star Wars movies, but I'm not an expert like my friends are. Although, I did rock a 40th Anniversary shirt from the GAP! Disneyland has also opened Star Wars land called Galaxy’s Edge complete with Oga’s Cantina, see more here: 10 Things to do at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
Everyone dresses up for the Star wars Bar, Scum and Villainy
We made reservations by buying tickets online a month in advance. Since they are now permanent in Hollywood, tickets are no longer required and its FREE to visit! Operating hours are from 6p-2am and they often have special events such as karaoke, LA Game Night, see more on their Facebook page for more info: https://www.facebook.com/scumandvillainycantina/
We had a designated check-in time at 8:30p. We arrived around 8:15p and lined up in an alley among ewoks, princesses and other charming characters. There wasn't a marking or anything on the building, just someone standing by the door checking people in. Oh and Han on the wall across from it.

We entered the bar and were amazed how it looked!
Everyone was let in at once and we had a little over 2 hours to enjoy our time at the bar. The drink tokens were exchanged for one of their three pre-made mixed drinks (which weren't bad and pretty strong) or a beer. I don’t think this is the case anymore, it was more for their ticketed event.
Drink TOkens
I REALLY WANTED THE GLOW STICKS TO BE STRAWS!
We managed to get a booth in the corner (just like Han Solo).
I WAS REALLY EXCITED I HAD A LIGHT SABER.
There were a lot of lights and fog machines, but what really make this bar great? The patrons. Those who came in costume gave this bar its charm, feeling like you stepped into a galaxy far far away...

And here's a little video to see the inside...
For bar snacks, they were served quickly and not bad for bar food. Portions were a decent size and sharable. We got a couple of orders of the AT Tots and the Carbonite Queso.

Here are the menus known as “Liquids and Solids” instead of Drinks and Food. Clever.
On our way out we got some merchandise, a pint glass and a challenge coin.
I really had a great time being a Star Wars nerd for a night! May the force be with you!

More things to do in LA:
Saved By the Max - Saved by the Bell Pop-up
We LOVED the Saved by the Max restaurant pop-up in Hollywood and were blown away how it looked just like the 90’s Saved by the Bell set! The food wasn’t bad but the nostalgia for this show blew through the roof! Things to do in LA
SAVED BY THE MAX
Address: 7100 Santa Monica Blvd #185, West Hollywood, CA 90046
Website: http://www.savedbythemax.com/
Tickets: $40 per person (Come with an Appetizer and Entree!)
Limited Time Left: Hurry and get there soon preppy, the pop-up is only available until April 2019 before it moves to Vegas!
I'm sooo sooo sooo excited to tell you all about our trip to Saved by the Max! I loved and still love Saved by the Bell the series and when I saw the pop-up in Chicago, I wished it would come to LA... and it did!
OUR BOOTH!
Now, we love us some pop-ups like the Star Wars Scum and Villainy bar in Hollywood which is now a staple (see out Blog post here: Star Wars Pop-up Bar) to Hollywood Boulevard!
DINING ROOM
Saved by the Max is like stepping onto the Saved by the Bell set of the Max, it looks JUST like it! What really takes these pop-ups to another level are the customers. When everyone dresses like they are from that era or show or movie, it really gives the full effect that you have stepped into another realm. I was just waiting for Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, Screech, Slater, Jessie and Lisa to walk through the door!
Saved by the Max - Bar
Reservations are available until April 2019 and I heard they were moving to Las Vegas next! Tickets are $40 and include a reservation date & time with an appetizer and entree. I'll get into the food below.

Get ready preppy for some fun pictures!
THE VENUE - THE MAX
You can't really just walk into this place, you have to get past the hostess first! We checked in and only waited for a few minutes since we arrived on the early side.
Immediately after stepping inside you walk along the lockers of all your beloved characters, with everything associated with that personality!
I was already in awe just by the lockers and then we stepped in the restaurant and I lost it!
I love all the 90's squiggles and designs that match the shows main title. I especially LOVED the bright colors, I fit right in!
They say you have 2 hours to stay to enjoy your meal and walk around. We were to anxious to wait until after our meal that we walked around and took a bunch of pictures before our meal! Overall I think we spent about an hour and a half there.
Mr. Beldings Office
Mr. Beldings office is designed to host larger parties or just regular tables if they don't have a big party. Soooo we went in and sat his desk of course!
No detention given today!
THE MENU & FOOD REVIEWS
The menu had more than I thought it would! It was typical diner/cafe kind of food and it wasn't terrible!
Drinks didn't come with the ticket and were paid for separately. I of course had a Mark Paul 75 because I just can't resist champagne. It was good, but boy was it sweet.
We tried to diversify our food choices to try everything between the four of us, but we doubled up on certain things. I loved the clever food names!
Appetizers
AC Sliders - Pork sliders with a mustard sauce. We weren't fans of the mustard
Mac and Screech - pretty good for noodles and cheese!
Snow White and the Seven Dorks - Wings that were devoured by the husbands... they seemed to be fans!
Entrees
Bayside Burger - Diner style with a double patty! YUM!
Preppy Pastrami - on rye bread
Beat Valley Buttermilk Pancakes - they serve brunch on weekends but why not have breakfast for dinner?
We had so much fun! Trish and I want to go back any day, any time!
GOOOOOO BAYSIDE!
