Barney’s Beanery Inching Closer to Finally Opening in Westwood

Nearly one year after I first dropped the word of a pending Westwood Village Barney’s Beanery back in December 2008, a “Coming Soon!” sign has finally been hung on the former Good Earth, former Straton’s spot (and about 150 feet from the Westwood C.P.K.). Year-long delays, along with unexplained sudden shutterings, are unsurprising when it comes to the fickle zoning and real estate winds in the Village. Let’s hope that a) Barney’s can take root and stick around for a while; and b) that the village idiots will stick to O’Hara’s and not ruin the vibe at Barney’s.
not to worry, Barney’s is more than capable of ruining its own vibe – just give it time.
This is actually a great location to open a new Barney’s… the Promenade looks and feels a bit forced. It’s a shame that Westwood can’t have something more original, but this is much better than the additional of a Chilis or CPK.
