Los Angeles’ history echoes at Cole’s, originator of the French dip sandwich, housed since 1908 in the hollow of the Pacific Electric building, once the nucleus of the Pacific Electric railway network. Cole’s, Los Angeles’ oldest public house, evokes the spirit of saloons that dotted the west in the early 1900’s. Original glass lighting, penny tile floors, historic photos, and the welcoming 40-foot mahogany. The Red Car’s ample selection of premium spirits, drafts, and historic compliment the saloon’s classic French dips. The dark door in the back of the legendary Cole's restaurant in downtown Los Angeles looks as ordinary as a door could be, blending into the surroundings of stained wood and sepia-toned photos that line the walls of the downtown fixture. Behind it lies a hidden treasure — a bar that could be described as something from "Boardwalk Empire." The Varnish is a small, speak-easy type bar with a relaxed atmosphere and meticulously engineered drinks, hinting at an understated, Prohibition-era night on the town. Add your Comment
