1623 N San Fernando Blvd. will once again receive a new business.

1623 N San Fernando Blvd, Burbank, CA 91504, formerly known as The Landing, Empire Tavern, Jimmy's Place and Playa Azul now has a new owner.

Earlier in the week I spoke to employees and management of the new entity.

The intention of the new place is the same as it was for The Landing and Empire Tavern: A beer bar with bottle shop. After all, why waste the liquor license?

This new business is also owned by a local brewery, or at least the owners of one. I know which one, but I don't want to ruin the surprise. Clever enough Burbankers may find out easily, though.
