The new speakeasy concept within recently redesigned Kendall’s Brasserie at The Music Center in downtown LA celebrates an era of post-war French artistry, invention and imagination.

Discover a sleek, dark interior, in a room featuring banquettes and a cozy bar that is whipping up top-notch drinks and cocktails as well as punch bowls to share. Nightly live music is set to kick off soon, with an emphasis on jazzy groups and singers with a vintage sound. Food comes from chef Jean-Pierre Bosc and includes French-inspired small bites, while Evan Charest is overseeing the cocktails, with a literary twist.
