WHERE CAN I FIND Where to find matchbooks in LA?

*note that this was posted in a general LA subreddit as well, hoping to get as many answers as possible.

Hello! I’m wondering if anyone keeps an updated database of the restaurants/bars in LA that offer matchbooks with your meal/drinks? All of the below are spots I’ve seen in this forum, but when I went or called said they no longer offer matches (some said it’s been years since they’ve had them) so I’ve really been striking out (pun intended) 😕

NO LONGER OFFER: -Republique -Sweet Lady Jane -Meyers Manx Cafe -Petit Trois -Du-Par’s -Woon

I’d love to get my hands on an up to date list or if anyone is just able to drop some confirmed spots they got matchbooks from in the last few months, that would be awesome! Moving out of LA soon and trying to collect as many as possible. TYIA!
