Restaurateur and entrepreneur Dave Oz of Stone Street New York and Bathtub Gin New York teams up with Joel David Moore and Laura Parkening to launch LA’s newest all-day dining destination, cocktail bar and coffee lounge, Stone Street LA, now officially open in Melrose Ave’s bustling Arts District.
The venue’s roots stem back to the famed Stone Street Coffee Company roaster in Brooklyn. The first Stone Street café opened in New York in 2010, and has served as a neighborhood staple and functioning front for the famed Bathtub Gin speakeasy for over ten years. In Los Angeles, the concept has been expanded into a hybrid space that offers locals its signature artisanal coffee, as well as a comprehensive menu featuring breakfast, lunch and dinner, top-notch cocktails at their beautiful and welcoming bar, and a weekend brunch on their sprawling garden patio. Staying true to the brand’s New York roots while adapting to its new LA home, the menu features delicious items with fun twists paying homage to New York City.
The doors of Stone Street LA are open to all, a local java shop, all-day cafe and watering hole with a vibe that fits right into the neighborhood. With its robust entertainment offering, this is a place for creatives to meet in a casual yet inspiring and friendly setting, in a venue that offers just as much ambiance during the day as it does at night. Evening programming includes a weekly comedy night (Prohibition Comedy on Wednesdays), live music (Thursday nights), DJ programming, and a Sunday Disco brunch.
NYC-INSPIRED CUISINE WITH LA FLAIR
Created by Chef John Sheffy, the all-day food menu features prominent New American-inspired cuisine with a large selection of homemade pastries and New York staple dishes with a creative twist. Classic items are made flavorful through a delicate marriage of ingredients. New York staples such as the Bagel and Lox and Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Roll are imbued by a fresh LA touch, while the local community is embraced through unique dishes such as Challah French Toast and Roasted Mary’s Chicken. This is a menu where there is something for everyone, where New York heritage and global inspiration connect. Where classics are made perfect, and simple things surpass expectations.
THE COFFEE - BROOKLYN’S FINEST BEANS
With a heritage that ties back to the acclaimed Stone Street Coffee Company roaster, excellent coffee is part of the venue’s DNA. It all starts with their beans, which are ethically sourced from countries all over the world (earning them Organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest Association certifications) and roasted in small batches at the Stone Street Coffee Company roaster in Brooklyn. Here in Los Angeles, they use their diverse roasts and blends to create an assortment of delicious coffee drinks, fit for any palette. For the ultimate taste test, just try their Knee Buckling Espresso.
THE COCKTAILS - CLASSIC COCKTAILS WITH A BICOASTAL TWIST
Created by award-winning Beverage Consultant Brendan Bartley, Stone Street LA’s selection of craft cocktails allows you to experience classic recipes through new and unique flavor pairings. They work extensively behind the scenes to master both balance and flavor, allowing for a low waste process and efficient service. On tap, frozen, bottled or by the glass, with standout names such as Californication and Harlem Rose, their cocktails encompass the best of both coasts.
