An eyewitness told The US Sun that the Watch What Happens Live host took selfies and photos with fans in a private room in the back of Swingers Crazy Golf.
He was joined by Summer House star Jesse Solomon as he gave a speech about loving canned drinks and served them to fans behind the bar.
He also played “Would You Rather?” with Jesse and a fan, making them choose between their friends John Mayer and Anderson Cooper, Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan from Real Housewives of New York City, and Denise Richards and Kyle Richards from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
According to the eyewitness, he asked, “Would you guys rather be a flower girl at your best friend’s wedding or be blocked by Jax Taylor?”

Jesse said he would rather be blocked by The Valley star.
While Andy spent some time with fans, he was heard talking about Vanderpump Rules to a fan who was eager to know what was going on amid rumors that the show could be done for good.
After a fan asked Andy, “What’s going on with Vanderpump Rules?” he replied: “They are taking a break” and confirmed: “They will be back”.
He was also asked: “Is Ariana Madix coming back?” in which he replied, “I hope so.”
It was previously reported that filming for VPR season 12 has been paused and will not film this summer.
Production for a new season usually runs from May to July.
A source, however, told The US Sun that filming is expected to resume after the summer, although no specific timeline was given.
The reason is supposedly because the production is giving the cast a break to do their own thing and then, hopefully, when filming resumes, there will be “some big developments and new drama.”
Fans believe Grande hinted she wouldn’t return after removing VPR from her Instagram profile and promoting upcoming projects outside of Bravo.
RELEASED FROM COMPLAINTS
The “Put It On Andy’s Tab” event was the first of many exclusive FRESCA Mixed Club events, which give fans VIP access to perks and events throughout the year.

Andy was in an “upbeat mood,” according to the eyewitness, as he attended the FRESCA Mixed event two weeks after being cleared of drug and sexual harassment charges.
Earlier this year, former Bravo stars Leah McSweeney, 42, and Brandi Glanville, 51, made bombshell allegations against the Radio Andy host.
From May 9th, Deadline reported that outside investigators cleared Andy of the Real Housewives alums’ allegations.
“The external investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has been completed and the allegations have been found to be unfounded,” a Bravo spokeswoman told the outlet.

UNDER FIRE
Leah, a former RHONY star, claimed that Andy “engages in cocaine use with housewives and other Bravolebrities he employs” and also alleged toxic workplace culture and discrimination.
On May 22, just one day before Andy’s public appearance, his lawyers filed a motion to dismiss Leah’s claim.
According to court documents obtained by The US Sun, an affidavit from Shed Media’s senior vice president of business and legal affairs was filed on May 23 requesting the redaction and sealing of Leah’s salary and benefits from seasons 12 and 13 of RHONY , and RHUGT Session 3.
Meanwhile, Brandi accused Andy of sexual harassment and claimed he invited her to watch him have sex with another Bravo star, according to a legal letter obtained by Page six.
The WWHL host, however, was quick to respond and apologize at the time, saying she was referring to a video featuring Below Deck’s Kate Chastain and that it was “a joke.”
GIRLS TRIP ON WAITING
The threatening letter, which was sent to Andy, NBC, Shed Media and Warner Bros., came on the heels of Caroline Manzo’s lawsuit against Bravo, alleging that she was sexually harassed and assaulted by Brandi while filming the fourth season of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.
The season that has not yet aired was subtitled Ex-Wives Club and was announced in January 2023.
The cast — Caroline, Brandi, Gretchen Rossi, Vicki Gunvalson, Phaedra Parks, Camille Grammer, Eva Marcille and Alex McCord — filmed in Morocco and the season was expected to air later in the year.
However, it was eliminated and RHUGT: RHONY Legacy will air in December 2023 via Peacock.
While no announcement has been made as to whether it will see the light of day, Brandi and Gretchen exclusively told The US Sun that they are pushing for the premiere to be amid Caroline’s lawsuit.
