Los Angeles, CA, July 25, 2026 —
Scum and Villainy Cantina, a well-known establishment in Hollywood that caters to fans of nerd culture, has announced plans to open a new and expanded location in Burbank. The upcoming venue will be named Scum and Villainy: Rendezvous.
The new space is designed to offer a variety of amenities beyond a traditional bar. These include a dedicated area for a post-convention bar experience, facilities for private dining, a professional podcast and livestreaming studio, and a versatile multi-purpose room. This room is intended to host classes taught by professionals within the entertainment industry.
The owners of Scum and Villainy Cantina are currently engaged in a fundraising effort to secure the necessary capital for the project. The estimated cost for the new venue is $1 million. A target opening date has been set for the release of the film “Avengers: Doomsday”, though this timeline is contingent on the success of their fundraising campaign and subsequent construction phases.
The current Scum and Villainy Cantina in Hollywood has established itself as a popular gathering spot for enthusiasts of science fiction, fantasy, and other elements of geek culture. The expansion to Burbank aims to provide a larger capacity and a broader range of services to its patrons.
