After 37 years of British charm, Beckham Grill will close Saturday.

The pub-style restaurant, known for the English taxicab parked on its lawn, will be demolished to make way for an apartment complex with more than 200 units, according to restaurant owner Ed Mysliviec. “The land was purchased, they’re putting up our property and the property next door,” Mysliviec said.

Described as a place for special occasions, the iconic, low-key restaurant isn’t going quietly. Every lunch, dinner and bar stool is booked with a reservation until Saturday’s final last call, Mysliviec said.

“One guy has been in here every single day,” he said. “There’s so many people who have an attachment to this place.”

Beckham Place opened in 1978 with its dark wooden interior, British memorabilia and quiet atmosphere. It became Beckham Grill in 1999 under Mysliviec and Henry Yost’s ownership. The restaurant appeared in Season Five of “Mad Men,” doubling as a midtown English Pub awkwardly visited by the character Lane Pryce, played by Jared Harris.

Dozens of patrons flocked to Beckham’s Facebook page to bid adieu and to recall their fond memories of the pub.

“Beckham was my first date with my lovely wife 28 years ago,” wrote Robert James on Facebook. “Very sad to see you forced out. Thank you for all the lovely times.”

Denise Anderson posted that she and her husband had their wedding reception at Beckham. “It’s one of our favorite restaurants,” she wrote. “Such a shame.”

Mysliviec said Beckham won’t return elsewhere, but that elements of the restaurant will live on.

Some recipes will make their way to Central Park Restaurant, 219 S. Fair Oaks Ave. Other influences may show up at Mysliviec’s next restaurant in Glendale.

That restaurant, a partnership with David Yost and Randy Hoffman, will be more contemporary and should open by the end of the year, Msyliviec said.

The demolition is expected to force another group out of the area: a colony of feral cats, according to the Pasadena Humane Society.

A feral cat rescuer is working to trap the cats and relocate them to safety, officials said.
