Fortunately, a longtime fixture in the Los Angeles DIY music scene known mononymously as Dice has stepped in to reopen the 5 Star Bar in an effort to provide artists with a stage and music lovers with a sanctuary while uplifting the surrounding community.

The next couple of years would be a rebuilding period, as DIY shows persisted and new venues eventually popped up.

The next chapter in the history of the 5 Star Bar will be led by Dice, a veteran of the local DIY punk and metal scenes.

Around 2017, he got involved with a DIY venue in downtown Los Angeles known as the Rec Center and organized a wide range of punk rock, metal and experimental shows.

Not long after the Rec Center permanently closed, Dice joined up with another DIY venue downtown, Towne Square.
