Open Monday-through Friday from 5pm to 2am (Happy Hour 4-8 pm) and weekends 2pm to 2am (Happy Hour 2-6 pm), Good Times at Davey Wayne's is the newest addition to the Houston Hospitality empire. Only in LA can one discover a bar by rummaging through a garage sale. Locate the super cool secret entrance to the bar (you enter through a refrigerator), and you will step inside a 70's era house party rife with the sounds of live music, laughter, and pinball machines. The Astroturf covered backyard patio sets the stage for groovy outdoor escapades, complete with a custom designed trailer bar churning out tropical thirst quenchers and Texas BBQ with a soulful twist. Whimsical entertainment that includes a hula-hooping, roller-skating duet will keep spirits and smart phone cameras aimed high. It's a tribute owners Jonnie and Mark Houston's late father, David Wayne Houston, and it's the coolest house party on the block.
