Golden Gopher has been pouring strong drinks and shaping DTLA nightlife for over a century. For their 15-year modern revival milestone, we created a custom-illustrated poster to mark the occasion. The design needed to honor the bar’s grit, history, and staying power with a bold visual statement.
Scope of Work:
Illustrated a one-of-a-kind poster to celebrate Golden Gopher’s 15-year anniversary
Reflected the bar’s vintage energy, rich history, and downtown edge through custom artwork
Balanced nostalgia with a fresh design approach for longtime regulars and first-timers alike
Delivered press-ready artwork for both in-bar display and limited-edition print runs
Ensured the final piece aligned with the existing brand while standing out as a collectible
This wasn’t just a poster—it was a visual time capsule for one of LA’s most iconic watering holes.
