A Landmark Restaurant Lives Again

Lindsay. Paris. Britney.

Everyone knows this town loves a comeback.

And everyone in this town loves comfort food. It’s time for two loves to meet… introducing the all-new Cole’s. If you’re a fan of history, you might already know about the restaurant’s storied past: housed in the historic Pacific Electric Building, Cole’s is L.A.’s oldest operating restaurant and saloon at 100 years old. You can thank Cole’s for creating both the French Dip Sandwich and L.A.’s first check-cashing operation.

The new Cole’s, brought to you by nightlife impresario Cedd Moses, has been handsomely restored. Grab a seat at the original 40-foot mahogany bar and indulge yourself in consulting chef Neal Fraser’s menu of slow-cooked, carved meats served au jus, a choice of artisanal cheeses, and of course, Cole’s custom mustards. Wash down all that goodness with something from the restaurant’s extensive wine, spirits, and beer menu.

And like all Cedd Moses projects, expect well-crafted cocktails and perfect ambiance.

The rest… is history.


Cole’s soft opens at the end of October, and makes it’s grand debut at the November 16th Centennial Festivities.
