Doctor Who-themed happy hour Gallidays Finds a New Home in NoHo

After a decade at the Fox and Hounds, the beloved Doctor Who-themed happy hour, Gallidays, is relocating to Lawless Brewing in North Hollywood. The event’s new adventure begins Monday, September 9th from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

For those unfamiliar, Doctor Who is a long-running British science fiction television series. It follows the thrilling exploits of the Doctor, a time-traveling alien Time Lord with two hearts. The Doctor traverses the universe in the TARDIS, a time machine and spaceship cleverly disguised as a blue police box. The show’s longevity, diverse storytelling, and the Doctor’s captivating regenerations have fueled its enduring popularity.

The Doctor’s travels feature a rotating cast of companions who join them on extraordinary adventures through time and space. Together, they witness historical events, encounter alien civilizations, and face complex moral dilemmas. Doctor Who explores themes of good versus evil, compassion, and the consequences of time travel, all while showcasing the wonders of the universe. The series inspires viewers to embrace their sense of wonder and explore the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our everyday world.

A New Era for Doctor Who-themed Happy Hour Gallidays

Founder Brian Saa expressed his sincere gratitude for the community that has kept Gallidays going strong, even when it was tough to find the right space. Moreover, Lawless Brewing has stepped up in a big way, offering a dedicated space, top-notch A/V tech, and even a family-friendly environment, something Gallidays hasn’t had before.

Gallidays has a new home (for September and hopefully longer?) at Lawless Brewing in North Hollywood – on a different night of the week, too! Mondays! Garfield may hate them, but Gallidays doesn’t. It’s been a wild ride running Gallidays. Times change, bars change, but the Whovian friends we’ve made keep Gallidays alive. It is very difficult to find a bar in the area that is willing to give a group of Whovians dedicated space and time, as well as a place that has the A/V tech that we require to screen episodes. We’re lucky that our friends at Lawless Brewing are willing to accommodate us for this event, as otherwise, we may have been dead in the dark water. – Brian Saa

Gallidays moving to Lawless Brewing in North Hollywood

The inaugural event at Lawless promises an exciting full-circle moment for the group with a screening of “The Eleventh Hour.” In “The Eleventh Hour,” we’re introduced to the newly regenerated Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) as he crash-lands the TARDIS in the backyard of young Amelia Pond. Still reeling from his regeneration, he promises to return in five minutes to take Amelia on an adventure. However, due to a mishap, he arrives 12 years later, finding Amelia (now Amy, played by Karen Gillan) grown up and skeptical of his return.

Attendees can indulge in beer, wine, mocktails, and delicious food from MJM Savories until 8 p.m. Additionally, the event represents a bold trial for both Gallidays and Lawless Brewing. Show your support for this new venture, Whovians! Your presence could help Gallidays find its permanent home, ensuring the continuation of community building and their impactful food and toy drives.
