Last night, the Fanbase Press staff was treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience: a night of fun at the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the galaxy – the aptly named Scum & Villainy Cantina in Hollywood, CA! The wildly popular intergalactic pop-up experience has been virtually sold out for its initial two-month run, but Fanbase Press is excited to share that Scum & Villainy proprietor J.C. Reifenberg is extending its inaugural activation through June 2017. In honor of this fantastic announcement, we are sharing our interview with Reifenberg from last night’s event, as well as a photo gallery of our out-of-this-world experience and more details on where you can purchase tickets.
In its first 26 days, the Scum & Villainy Cantina has transported thousands of fans into an immersive environment filled with food, drink, friends and some questionable characters from throughout the galaxy. Starting on the beloved celebratory date of May the Fourth, fans can purchase tickets and reservations to the Scum & Villainy Cantina for the entire month of June. In addition, Reifenberg announced that all ticket purchases/reservations made on May 4, 2017 would be at the discounted rate of $40 (a $10 savings). For the price of admission, guests receive two drinks of their choice from the Cantina’s specialty menu, a souvenir pint glass, an exclusive Scum & Villainy challenge coin, and nightly surprises around each corner. Themed food items are also available for purchase.
Fanbase Press Editor-in-Chief Barbra Dillon chatted with owner Reifenberg shortly after the extension announcement, and their interview may be found below.

The June ticket and reservation sales will be available start May 4, 2017 at 10:00am PST via a new URL.
New ticket reservations are limited, and admissions will be handled out on a first come, first served basis. In June, the Scum & Villainy Cantina will revise its days/hours of operation to Thursdays (one admission from 7:00-10:30pm), Fridays (two two-hour admissions), and Saturdays & Sundays (three two-hour admissions on each day). Fans should reference the Scum & Villainy Cantina Facebook page for walk-in availability.
The Scum & Villainy Cantina will now also offer discounted ticket-and-merchandise packages. The admission-and-collectible-shirt ($55) and an admission-plus-collectible-shirt-and-hat ($65) are now available, and an all-new “June Scum Pass” ($200) entitles purchasers automatic entry, plus one guest, throughout the month of June during regular evening hours, Thursday through Sunday, even during sold out nights. The “June Scum Pass” also includes four souvenir glasses, but sales will be limited to a total of 40 for June.
Located at 6377 Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, CA (near the corner of Hollywood Blvd. & Cahuenga Blvd.), the Scum & Villainy Cantina offers open seating to encourage patrons to meet new friends, strike up conversation, and maybe even find them a pilot to fly them off world.
