[@ElizabethMartinez-jg9qs]

My grandfather's first job when he came here to America in the 1920's was @ "The Pig & Whistle." I am so happy that it's still going strong!!! ❤️⏳🐷🌈

[@AvaT42]

Elizabeth Martinez That is so cool. Were you ever able to go in that pig n whistle?

[@CNFearless]

Unfortunately it has permanently closed.

[@huey555k]

@@CNFearless its back open again.I work on the blvd.

[@joeharris8233]

@@huey555k I think it’s now closed and again was sold. They took off the name too. Sucks. Places like this shouldn’t be torn down, it’s history.

[@davidburris6873]

So wonderful to preserve old Hollywood iconic places!!! Great job!

[@DJJahT]

It was recently gutted by moron Jose Cueva and turned into a crappy new restaurant.

[@alisoncook4926]

Love these shows. Love Huell and his enthusiasm. I worked at a pub in Wimbledon Park UK called the "Pig &Whistle.

[@kennethdavidii2734]

Thank you Huell, Rest in Peace my friend.

[@AvaT42]

Urban Archeology. I like that. So true. I love the Micelis gentlemen, so interesting and fun. Thank goodness he saved everything or would have gone to the dump!!

[@chainsawbarbarian]

So much symbolism in those tiles!!!!

[@orcinus6802]

The name Pig ‘n Whistle was a clever homonym play on the Old English words “piggin,” which is a wooden bucket, and “wassail,” which is mulled cider, so phonetically the name means “Bucket of Mulled Cider” in Old English.

[@racheldelgado5646]

Fabulous finds. Hope to visit this restaurant on my next visit.

[@herbbirdsfoot]

RIP. On the other hand, the Italian restaurant Miceli’s (that seemed a LOT more interesting and authentic anyway) is still going as of January 2024.

[@perryartemas]

Used their counter many times when assistant manager at the Egyptian until 1950.

[@dday07]

Used to go there when i visited a buddy who lived off Las Palmas around 2005..Very good looking staff.. Waitress told me most of the staff were looking to get into movies or tv..Big shock

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

They had a “Pig N’ Whistle In Sebastian, Florida. I lived there from 2004-2008

[@rabfallon4507]

Probably named by a Brit . Pig and Whistle is a UK pub name from 1800s, like Dog and Duck , Cat & Custard Pot , Bull and Spectacles etc

[@johnnyj0104]

7:23 whatever happened to this man? We need someone today that's willing to preserve the memory of the Pig 'n Whistle!

[@bluxe7372]

The 1933 Group helped bring The Formosa back to its original glory after it was ruined by some 30-year old developers. Maybe one day ...

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

The table Cloths were the same in Sebastian, Fl OMG!

[@BODEGA1940]

Unforturnately it is completely gone now.

[@megalon916]

New owners started demolishing /renovating without a permit - and despite a stop work order from the city. Bye bye Pig n' Whistle and hello Cantina Tempo.

[@Tony.Technics.1200s]

Wow, that sucks.....hope the pizza place at least is still there.

[@ronniedelahoussayechauvin6717]

The Pig N’ Whistle Located In Sebastian, Fl. Was nothing to brag about though. I ate there several times. What was it than? So out of my realm...Corruption NO DOUBT!

[@bigrr64]

Unfortunately some idiot bought it and destroyed it. RIP mr. Howser

[@BillyBongwaters]
