Prank bar downtown12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Prank has heart and is extremely family oriented, from our Gramma and Grampa on the bathroom doors to our sister in-law’s paintings on the walls. Prank is LA’s first walk up bar where you can literally walk up to the bar directly from the sidewalk, creating an organic extension of the neighborhood. We’d love to hear more about your business. Every time we have been dealt a bad hand we’ve barreled through it, dusted off, and figured out how to get there. We are not a family or group that comes from money, so Prank really tested our spirits. This industry is very difficult, the highs and lows can be extreme from working doubles, struggling to make rent, and opening dream locations that get taken away from you. Prank is a new adventure and one I’ve been lucky enough to do with two great friends, Tony Frere & Greg Schumann, and my brother and sister, Jaime and Jonny Whitton. ![]() Throughout my career, I have created over 100 original cocktail menus for brands, bars, and competitions. I’ve also had the opportunity to concept some of my favorite bars including Dodger Stadium and Sunset Marquis. That was the start of my bar journey and I have been blessed to have had a part in opening, and working at, some of the most iconic craft locations in LA from Seven Grand to Villains Tavern. Twenty years ago I moved to Los Angeles from Reno, Nevada and got my first bar job at a dueling piano bar called Howl at the Moon. So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story. Today we’d like to introduce you to Dave Whitton. ![]()
