Fawn Weaver had been a public-relations firm founder, a bestselling author, and a hospitality executive before she encountered the story of America s first Black master distiller, Nearest Green. It was Green who d taught Jack Daniel how to make and blend whiskey, and who was known to those closest to him as Uncle Nearest. Weaver s goal wasn t to build an award-winning business with national distribution; instead, it was to restore Green s legacy.
Over the past four years, she s done both. I didn t know anything about the whiskey business. I knew nothing about the spirit business, but I did know something about the storytelling business and I knew that it could be a really exciting story to tell, Weaver, the founder of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, said on

There’s a new rooftop bar by some familiar LA names opening in Culver City’s Citizen Public Market this week. Bar Bohémien opens Wednesday right above the market’s hotspots Jolly Oyster, Mexicology, and Nancy Silverton’s Pizzette.
The adaptive reuse project opened in November, and Bar Bohémien’s space leaned into reinventing the historic 1929 space. The indoor sports an open, vaulted high-ceiling retro vibe with 1920s brickwork, arched window, and leather bar seats. Speaking of windows, they’re everywhere. In early evening hours, Bar Bohémien willcapture LA’s sunset light, as will the rooftop patio that overlooks Culver Boulevard. It’s a good size, clocking in at 2,400 square feet, though the indoor bar will have to remain closed under LA County’s coronavirus guidelines. For now, outdoor capacity is limited to 25 percent, with a 10 p.m. curfew. When these restrictions are lifted, Bar Bohémien will keep late-night hours.
