In Los Angeles, a 10-year-old brewery in the Arts District is experiencing drastic reductions in patronage following an imposed curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. due to protests against immigration enforcement. Along with bars and restaurants, cultural events have been canceled, including performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Center Theatre Group. This curfew has turned bustling nightlife spots into quiet establishments, with only a handful of regulars visiting. The situation reveals the broader impact of local policies on community engagement and commerce, leading to a ghost town atmosphere on busy weekends.
The indefinite curfew imposed on downtown Los Angeles in response to immigration enforcement demonstrations has transformed vibrant nightlife areas into virtual ghost towns.
As city officials prepare for widespread protests, popular venues like Boomtown Brewery face extreme reductions in customer activity, effectively closing during peak hours.
Civic institutions and arts organizations, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Center Theatre Group, are negatively impacted by the citywide curfew, forcing cancellations of performances.
Marketing manager Nick Gingold noted that the brewery's atmosphere shifted dramatically, with only a few regulars arriving, starkly contrasting its usual packed night scene.
