Tom Petty's Malibu estate returns for sale asking $15.49M
The late Tom Petty's Malibu estate is hitting the market for $15.49 million, Gimme Shelter has learned.
That price marks a listing discount. In the summer of 2024, news broke that the property was set to list for $19 million with another brokerage.
Petty — the singer, songwriter and guitarist — was known for his timeless, and masterful, rock anthems like 'Free Fallin'' and 'I Won't Back Down.' Along with being known for his band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, he was also part of the Traveling Wilburys in the late 1980s — with fellow legends Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne.

Petty died of an accidental drug overdose in 2017. He was 66.
He bought this Mediterranean-style retreat — which spans 2.6 acres — in 1998 for $3.75 million, sources said. It had served as his main residence ever since.
Untouched by the wildfires that ravaged parts of Southern California, including LA, Malibu and the Pacific Palisades, the 8,744-square-foot, single-story home is on a private, double-gated street above Escondido Beach and Paradise Cove. Also notable, the property comes with Petty's music studio, which he converted from a two-bedroom guest house. It's pre-wired and acoustically designed.
Details include hand-painted Spanish tiles, a carved skylight, vintage chandeliers and five fireplaces — plus an eat-in chef's kitchen that anchors the home. There's also a 'romantic' main bedroom suite, according to the listing.
9 The interiors fill with light.

The 9 Best Sports Bars in Barcelona
Barcelona isn't just a paradise for architecture, beaches, and tapas, it's also a city where sports culture runs deep, from the roar of Camp Nou to the hum of neighborhood bars on match day. Whether you're a die-hard football fanatic, a casual NBA watcher, or someone who simply enjoys a cold beer with friends while the game's on in the background, the city offers a wide variety of venues to suit every taste. From bustling beer halls with craft brews and multiple screens to cozy local pubs steeped in tradition, here's a look at some of the best spots to watch sports in Barcelona. 1. CocoVail Beer Hall Nestled in the Eixample district, CocoVail stands out as a spacious, American-style craft beer haven. With 24 rotating craft beers on tap, including local Catalan and Spanish brews, it's a beer lover's paradise. They also serve up to 17 flavorful chicken wing variants, burgers, and sandwiches, perfect for sharing, especially when paired with board games while you wait. CocoVail features 6–7 large-screen TVs, ensuring you can catch multiple games, from NBA and NFL, to UCL, golf, rugby, Formula 1, and March Madness. Reviewers love the laid-back vibe and friendly service. 2. Belushi's Bar A familiar face among expats and students, Belushi's offers an international pub atmosphere with multiple screens and a global crowd vibe. Expect a solid mix of pub food, beers, and broadcasts of major sports from around the world. 3. The George Payne Located centrally near Plaça Catalunya, this lively Irish pub delivers a genuine match-day atmosphere. With ten 60' screens across two floors, you'll never miss a moment. Known for its long beer list, 'Messi World Class Burger,' fiery chicken wings, and even humorous food challenges like the 'Luis Suárez Big Bite,' this spot turns sports viewing into full-on entertainment. 4. Flaherty's Irish Bar & The Old Irish Pub Also recognized as strong choices in Barcelona's sports bar lineup. Both offer cozy, authentic pub interiors and frequent broadcasts of football, rugby, and more, great for tourists or locals seeking a classic Irish pub vibe. 5. Sonora Sports Tavern Listed among the top sports pubs in the city, Sonora rounds out a solid lineup with its welcoming setting and reliable sports coverage. It's also in an interesting area of the city that is more modern, Poble Nou. 6. Casa de Tapas La Cañota For those seeking a family-friendly, restaurant-style alternative, this Montjuïc gem delivers seafood tapas and burgers, alongside four TV screens to catch Barça matches in a relaxed, but vibrant setting. 7. L'Ovella Negra A rustic, convivial tavern with large spaces, table football, sangria-by-the-pitch-volume vibes, and big screens for match nights. It's a mix of local tradition and festive sports culture. 8. Bar Llopart & Bar Versalles For a more local experience, these neighborhood havens offer an authentic sporting atmosphere with Catalan flair. Bar Llopart in Sants, with its Barça scarves, chants, and budget-friendly beers, attracts true fans. Bar Versalles in Sant Andreu, with historic charm and modernist touches, screens matches amid a genuine community feel. 9. Additional Favorites & Local Tips Travelers and students frequently recommend Irish pubs like Michael Collins, James Joyce, and George Payne as go-to places for casual match watching, even if the concept of a 'sports bar' isn't ingrained in Catalan culture. Others point to a local ambiance, where regular bars simply tune into big games in the background. Final Word Whether you're hunting for craft beers, fiery wings, and big screens (CocoVail), or an adrenaline-charged, challenge-fuelled environment (George Payne), Barcelona offers diverse options. Belushi's and other Irish pubs keep things steady and social. Meanwhile, more traditional locales like Bar Llopart or La Cañota cater to local fans, families, and foodies alike. There's a perfect place in Barcelona for every kind of match-day mood, cheers to that! TIME BUSINESS NEWS

3 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: August 15
Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: 'Where should I eat?' Here are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here's our list of the hottest places to get cocktails in town. For a Beijing duck feast that heals the soul: Ji Rong Peking Duck in Rosemead Since we haven't met yet, hi, I'm Kat Thompson, and I'm joining the Eater Southern California/Southwest team as an audience editor, a role I'm excited to tackle to highlight all the incredible restaurants in our vast region. Still, change can be hard, and when life feels in flux I often gravitate toward something familiar to ground me. The perfect grounding meal, in most cases, is Ji Rong's roast Beijing duck, a dish that has yet to disappoint me across dozens of visits. The duck is consistently great with lacquered crispy skin, accompanied by paper-thin crepes painted with sweet and savory hoisin sauce, fresh sliced cucumbers, and ribbons of green onion. Overall, the experience feels extravagant and comforting at once. Although duck is the restaurant's namesake, there are so many other hits on the menu too. Battered pumpkin sprinkled with salted egg yolk, tongue-tingling spicy cold chicken, and the sticky Shanghai-style spareribs are among my favorites. 8450 E. Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, CA, 91770. — Kat Thompson, audience editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest For dinner in Burbank that is not the Ikea food court: Tun Lahmajo Lahmajune at Tun Lahmajo in Burbank, California. Rebecca Roland Ever since reading Los Angeles Times critic Bill Addison's review of Burbank's Armenian restaurant Tun Lahmajo, I've looked for an excuse to find myself in the neighborhood that wasn't a trip to Ikea, since that always ends with Swedish meatballs. Recent plans (that didn't quite work out) finally brought me to Burbank and I jumped at the chance to make a detour. Even mid-week, Tun Lahmajo was bustling; in the dining room, a group combined a handful of tables into something that could accommodate at least 12, while there wasn't a single open seat on the patio. At the front of the restaurant, a fire licked the edges of a towering stone oven as plates of loosely wrapped dolmas emerged from the back kitchen. But I remained focused on the lahmajune (also spelled lahmajoon) topped with spiced ground meat, tomato sauce, and melted cheese. The lahmajune here is thinner and softer than at other shops like the Lahmajune Factory, more akin to the texture of a roti or flaky tortilla. The rest of the food arrived within minutes: shawarma cradled in a flatbread with sliced tomatoes, a still-steaming bowl of lentil soup, and meat and rice dolmas with a yogurt sauce. The service was casual and warm, an extension of the feeling that Tun Lahmajo is the staff's own expansive kitchen, where they welcome friends in. 2202 N. Glenoaks Boulevard, Burbank, CA, 91504. — Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest For a breakfast of champions, at any time of day: New York's Chopped Cheese Chopped cheese sandwich at New York's Chopped Cheese in Los Angeles. Jakob N. Layman Weekend mornings are my time to shine. After I wake up and walk the dog, exploring Los Angeles during the early hours is pure joy, especially before the afternoon madness. But to traverse this vast city of ours and take in the sights and sounds, one needs sustenance — cue New York's Chopped Cheese. The Hollywood outlet is open until 2 a.m. (3 a.m. on weekends), while the Mid-City location operates from 10 a.m. to midnight. The restaurant comes from a group of former New Yorkers (including one from Linden Hollywood) who wanted to bring New York City's favorite corner bodega sandwich imports to Los Angeles: a chopped cheese and bacon, egg, and cheese. I admit to side-eyeing the prospect of another New York City import, but New York's Chopped Cheese got me with that classic and incredible chopped cheese. The grilled beef patties are evenly chopped and brightened, when, of course, sauteed onions, seasoning, and cheese come into the mix. It's one of those 'I'll be full until dinnertime' kind of meals. There's no mistaking how delicious this is, so please enjoy while it's hot off the griddle. 5109 Venice Boulevard, Mid-City, CA, 90019 or 1471 Tamarind Avenue, Hollywood, CA, 90028. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Related The 38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles Eater LA All your essential food and restaurant intel delivered to you Email (required) Sign Up By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice .

The Cuba Libre – a World-Famous Cocktail That Originated With BACARDÍ Rum
Part cocktail, part rallying-cry, the story behind the original Cuba Libre cocktail is preserved in the Bacardi Archives and can be traced back to a celebratory moment in Cuban history at the end of the Spanish-American war. American soldiers stationed in Cuba – birthplace of BACARDÍ – brought Coca-Cola® with them for a taste of home which, soon became an island favorite soft drink. One August day in 1900, while celebrating Cuba's victory at The American Bar in Havana, a U.S. Army Signal Corps captain decided to ask the bartender for his favorite Cuban BACARDÍ Rum mixed with Coca-Cola® and the squeeze of a fresh lime, sparking interest among others bar patrons. Soon the entire bar was drinking this enticing, new combination. The captain proposed a toast of '¡Por Cuba libre!' (For a free Cuba!) ─ a phrase exclaimed frequently by Cuban revolutionaries and Americans soldiers. The name caught on, and stuck. The cocktail soon spread beyond Cuba to become an international hit, beloved for its simplicity and refreshing taste. 'A favorite among both bartenders and consumers alike, few rum cocktails have been able to stand the test of time like the Cuba Libre,' said Dickie Cullimore, Global Brand Ambassador for BACARDÍ. 'It's easy to master the Cuba Libre and make it your own. By simply combining just three ingredients – the world's most awarded rum brand, the world's favorite cola brand and a squeeze of fresh lime – a delicious taste of cocktail history is available at your fingertips at virtually any bar, anywhere, and even at home.' The Cuba Libre cocktail was itself a product of a revolution in rum-making. In 1862, in Santiago de Cuba, Don Facundo Bacardí Massó developed BACARDÍ, the world's first smooth light-bodied spirit. Designed to be the ultimate mixing spirit, as it never dominates or dilutes the taste of the drink, BACARDÍ rum inspired the creation of other legendary cocktail recipes like the authentic Mojito, the original Daiquirí, and the Piña Colada. For more than 163 years, through seven generations of Don Facundo's descendants, family-owned Bacardi has focused on innovation, consistency, quality, taste and excellence in rum-making. Today, sipping this cocktail made with two iconic drinks brands still summons the same feelings of celebration, liberation and national pride as it did in 1900. In fact, the Rum & Coke® remains one the most ordered drinks worldwide, claiming the #6 spot on the 2025 Bacardi Cocktail Trends Report. More than a century after the Cuba Libre's origins, Bacardi and Coca-Cola® continue their relationship and in 2025 launched BACARDÍ & Coca-Cola® Ready-to-Drink pre-mixed canned cocktails currently rolling out across the world. To make the perfect Cuba Libre cocktail and take your drink beyond a Rum and Coke®, remember the squeeze of fresh lime makes all the difference. Original BACARDÍ Cuba Libre 2 oz BACARDÍ Gold® rum4 oz Coca-Cola® (bottled)2 lime wedgesIce cubes Fill a highball glass with cubed ice. Squeeze juice of fresh lime wedges into the glass and then drop lime wedge rinds directly into the glass. Pour in BACARDÍ Gold rum and top with chilled Coca-Cola®, ideally bottled. Stir gently and enjoy responsibly. BACARDÍ, ITS TRADE DRESS AND THE BAT DEVICE ARE TRADEMARKS OF BACARDI & COMPANY LIMITED. COCA-COLA AND COKE ARE TRADEMARKS OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY.
