Vince Vaughn show ‘Bad Monkey’ filming at Pike Restaurant & Bar in Long Beach

Pike Restaurant & Bar on Fourth Street will transform into a tropical Florida bar until Wednesday evening as it hosts filming for the Apple TV+ show “Bad Monkey” starring Vince Vaughn.

The dark comedy — based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by Carl Hiaasen — stars Vaughn as Andrew Yancy, a former police detective who now does restaurant inspections in South Florida. Yancy is pulled back into the world of crime-solving after a tourist aboard a fishing boat discovers a severed arm off the Florida coast.

Filming for the show took place in Florida for season one but shifted to the Los Angeles area for season two — reportedly aided by a $20 million tax credit from California.
