Tom Bergin's

On February 11, 1935, a lawyer drove to a tudor building located at the corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles, unlocked the door, and tacked a liquor license to the wall. The lawyer, Tom Bergin. The place, Tom Bergin’s Old Horseshoe Tavern & Thoroughbred Club. The license, now the second oldest in Los Angeles County. Now nearing our 80th year as LA’s perdurable local, we seek to continue that great tradition set forth by Tom Bergin that February 11, where a welcome spirit is compulsory, and success is measured by the chatter between strangers and old friends.
