This place is amazing...food, drinks, and service. If you want to step away from the world we live in today and step back into time and feel the 1920s, then this is place. Everything about it is awesome!!!����
We had pastrami dips, plus the bourbon pecan pie. Yummmmmmmy!!!
This environment is super chill and the food is comforting and delicious. I would eat here often and hang for a great chill vibe.
I did not have any drinks here but they had a good options at their bar for whiskey.
Highly recommend this place, especially if you like French dip!
the French dip was fantastic and great! The hostess was nice and food was good simple menu and good drinks. I read that this place has been in the original spot forever! I highly must see place and eat food if you’re in downtown LA.
Great french dip. Amazing spicy garlic fries, do not get regular!
Two Pool tables are available, but the pool cues are damaged. Only one decent one out of the bunch.
Cool speakeasy bar in the back of the restaurant. Flip the switch to get in
This place was very cool. It's an old bar from the early 1900's and is worth a stop in. The place is super vintage and reminds me of a few watering holes when i was younger. Of course, I needed to try the French Dip and it didn't disappoint. Washed that down with one of their Old Fashioned drinks. There are some old photos on the wall that are worth a look and a couple of billiards tables if you play. Give it a shot if you're downtown, but check the schedule for hours.
Old time bar feel. Classic drinks and a few beers on tap. Old fashioned made with Evan Williams muddled sugar not simple syrup ask for a fat ice cube they might grab it for you. Beef dip is why you’re here but grab the pastrami. Garlic tots are good enough for a second order.
Located in a sketchy part of town, but this place is amazing! Step in the doors and you traveled to another place and time. Cozy and warm with stained glass windows and the cutest decor. The food here is amazing! Got the half pastrami French dip and the half prime roast beef French dip, both were delicious though prefer the pastrami one! The fries and tots were the best I've ever had. The spicy garlic tots were even better! The Atomic Pickle had a great kick to it and a great Old Fashioned was a wonderful compliment to complete the meal. I can see why this place has been around since 1908! It is simply phenomenal!
Food was delicious and that's a compliment from someone who hates pastrami usually. Sauce is perfect and not too over powering. Only downside is it felt like a female staff member wanted us to leave instead of ordering grub (maybe they were understaffed and didn't want to wait on a other table?) So it was unwelcoming initially.
Classic classic place and a don’t miss for foodies and history seekers andddd the speakeasy Varnish is located here!
The best beef dip and supposedly original 😻
![4]( "Recensione")
one of the 2 main places in Los Angeles that lay claim to having invented French dip sandwiches! ( You can see my reviews for the other one!) This is Coles French dip sandwich restaurant In the downtown LA area. The main difference between Coles and other places that serve French dips Is that Coles uses prime beef for their dips, And that makes a big difference how the sandwich tastes overall. I would give the sandwich an 8.5 on a 10 scale, It's very tasty and has good flavor, One of the better ones I've had. The inside of this Place has a bar and some restaurant seating, But the overall vibe is a neighborhood bar feel. It was not too crowded when I went around 5 PM on Thursday. It's worth it to go there to try the French dip at least once. Biggest challenge for this area is finding parking, But there are several paylots here and there. Also there's Homeless in the area, But leave them alone and they'll leave you alone, I parked in a secure lot walked to the restaurant,ate, walked back to my car and left with no problems.
Excellent bar that has a “Cheers” feel. The food seems like the main draw but as a downtown LA bar it’s pretty great.
The servers are awesome and the drinks are on point. It’s very low key and a good spot after a good night of partying but ending before midnight.
