Breaking News: Winston's 2.0!

Lindsay Lohan isn't the only one worthy of headline news today. I just heard that Winston's owner Andy Fiscella is opening a new restaurant and bar with Chris Huvane, Charlie Lew of Hardball Productions and Matt Lavin, not to be confused with Matt Gavin, Charlie's partner at Hardball. The spot, set to open in December, will serve comfort food and have a have a timeless, old-Hollywood vibe, complete with large patio and a full club license. "It's not something that will be redesigned in a year," Charlie told me. As for the location: It's still "undisclosed," but I can tell you it'll be located just east of Winston's between Jones Hollywood and Bar Lubitsch, both hotspots owned by Fiscella's nightlife hero Sean MacPherson.

Trend spotting: partying at the...bank?

Going to the bank doesn’t usually make me want to party—sigh—but that’s all about to change with Bank Heist, a new North Hollywood club that opens in August. Men.style.com got the scoop: Apparently, it’s located at 5303 Lankershim Boulevard in a ‘20s-style bank designed by John Parkinson, the same architect who designed old-school L.A. landmarks Los Angeles Memorial Stadium and City Hall. This will be followed by Crocker Club and Mercury Liquors, two clubs set to open in old-school Downtown banks. Mercury Liquors, of course, is Marc Smith’s next high-profile gig after opening The Edison in an a revamped boiler room.
