SUNDAY HOPS

Summer Beer Bash at Rustic Canyon

Because you've always thought food should complement beer, not vice versa, you're already prepared for this five-course, hops-heavy feast. They even put beer in the ice cream.

Sunday
Suede Bar Opens
SUNDAY DEBUT

Suede Bar Opens

Life in LA is admittedly incomplete without having drunk from a ceramic boot at the revolving bar atop the Bonaventure Hotel. Now comes the orange and crimson Suede Bar on the building's ground floor, because sometimes an unmoving floor is better.
