Eastside sports fans will soon have another watering hole to watch their favorite matchups by way of Trophy Wife. Eater LA reports that what is described as an “upscale sports bar” comes from Anat Escher, a longtime restaurateur and real estate investor who operated the now defunct Barbarella and Charcoal BBQ in Silver Lake. Expect the new bar to have television screens, casual drinks and bar snacks. As far as the upscale vibe? You will have to wait until the place opens.
