A dose of "old-fashioned goodness", this circa-1908 Downtown "classic" "feels like a trip back in time" with "fair" French dips made with beef and lamb served in an "atmospheric" setting; critics claim it's "expensive" and "used to be better", so its biggest asset may be the hidden speakeasy in back – The Varnish – known for its crafty mixologists, "designer" cocktails and "hipster" crowd.
The history of Cole's, one of the oldest restaurants in L.A., dates back to 1908. A century later, this nostalgic downtown spot was reinvigorated by nightlife guru Cedd Moses and BLD chef Neal Fraser. Many guests request to sit in the booth near the bar that was once the regular roost for gangster Mickey Cohen. Cole's lays claim to the invention of the original French dip, and the restaurant...
Cedd Moses is pretty much King of Downtown. He refurbs old bars, makes them fabulous. We all love Seven Grand, yes? Cole's was a cafeteria for city workers, became a dive bar type of thing. Moses took over, so it reopened with lots of fabric and dark leather. Food is upscale, but the French dip stays. Tasty sides and pies are must-haves. Guess Philippe's will have to battle it out for best still.
After a yearlong $1.6 million renovation in 2008 and a slight name change--it was originally called P.E. Cole's as it's located inside the Pacific Electric building--Downtown LA's most famous spot...
I really wanted to love this place. With its history and 1920's authentic interior the vibe is really great.
Sat at the bar and enjoyed the salty bartenders banter. Ordered an old fashioned and their famous "french dip".
Old fashioned was excellently made, however the...
What a neat spot to go to, walking distance to much of DTLA. On Tuesday nights they have an "all day happy hour"--and I'd recommend going to check it out. The kitchen closes a bit early--sometimes around 10:15. The bar stays open a bit later...
We always eat at Phillipe's when we are near there, as it is my hubby's favorite. Decided to try Cole's just to compare. Table service.. forget it. You have to stand at the bar to order and then find a table yourself. The food while...
A stone’s throw from skid row and challenging parking notwithstanding, this retro saloon claims centennial French dip bragging rights; delicious sliced beef ensconced in a fresh roll, atomic pickle awaits, au jus on the side, and the tasty tater tots complete the iconic meal; a...
Old school since 1908. Stepping into this bar restaurant is like walking into a time warp of vintage nostalgia. The hard drinks are served in the back through the old speak easy door or you can grab a micro brew at the front bar. The...
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 Red Car Bar were preserved in the recent restoration of the cherished landmark recipient of the Los Angeles Conservancy’s coveted Preservation Award recognizing outstanding achievement in...

A cultural, as well as historical, landmark, this establishment has been serving guests since 1908. The restaurant rivals Phillippe The Original for creating the original French Dip, a recommended favorite along with sides of cole slaw and baked beans, and they are open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Known for being the first restaurant in Los Angeles, Cole`s has been attending to a variety of patrons since 1908. The expansive dinning room has been incorporated into many movies over the years and currently it is occupied with bolstered booths and fabricated tables on a vermilion carpet. The menu of meatloaf and French dip sandwiches draws blue and white collar lunch goers alike into it`s...
The front bar offers rotating craft beers while the rear speakeasy called The Varnish (look for the unmarked door way at the back when you first walk in) serves specialty cocktails.
There are nearby lots on the corner of 6th and Main. Or arrive at 7pm when the meters open up. Parking at a meter on streets east of Main can get dodgy, so be cautious if you're walking alone.
Happy hour is daily from 4pm to 7pm with $1 off all drinks.
