In case you missed it, The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and The Writers Guild of America (WGA) are on strike. To support these underpaid creatives fighting for fair wages, the following LA businesses are offering discounts to SAG and WGA members during the strike.
Nic’s On Beverly

Melrose
Nextdoor to Niku Nashi, this vegan cocktail bar and sushi restaurant extends 20% off to union actors and writers on Mondays and Tuesdays from 5pm to close. The discount covers the entire check, including alcoholic beverages, but excludes gratuity and tax. After a full day of picketing, vegan cocktails, mocktails, and sushi at a good price sounds like the perfect way to wind down. Who’s with us?
