A Gorgeous New Cocktail Bar Opens Inside Historic LA Bradbury Building

Byadmin November 2, 2021

Private co-working space and social gathering hub (think WeWork meets Soho House) NeueHouse has added a long-discussed new location inside the famed Bradbury Building in Downtown Los Angeles, and is bringing with it one of the swankiest bars the city has seen in some time. The new Wyman Bar is now open for daytime through evening service, transitioning from coffee and lunch drinks to booze and wine at night — but only for a limited time, and with prior reservations.

Downtown’s new Wyman Bar is of a piece with the “work hard, play hard” ethos of the modern tech-driven workplace, where collaborators are enticed to stick around after ‘clocking out’ in order to remain social with co-workers. Companies pull in workers with the promise of design-forward workplaces and ‘perks’ like drinks and evening activations, including exhibits, live entertainment, and more.

At NeueHouse, those spaces and events are mostly only for paying members, but the company is opening the Wyman Bar to the public for some time. Reps tell Eater that the bar’s public-facing component does not have an end date as of yet, and is expected to remain open through the end of the year at least.

Perhaps most interestingly, the new Wyman Bar (named for the architect of the famed building, which was built in 1893) will pay homage to its starring role as a backdrop to the film Blade Runner by showing set images from the movie taken by late photographer Stephen Vaughan. Other activations of the space will follow in the coming months. As for the space itself, expect a long marble bar, plush stools, and lots of rich, dark woods inside the warm, brick-touched space designed by DesignAgency.

Downtown LA’s Wyman Bar is now open inside the NeueHouse at the Bradbury Building, keeping hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with evening hours Tuesday through Saturday from 5 p.m. until late at 304 S. Broadway. Reservations are required for non-members.

An Appreciation of Pomegranate Molasses

Byadmin May 19, 2022

When I was growing up, family dinners were always a lively and frenzied event. As my mom and aunts were putting the finishing touches on their dishes, I would take advantage of the commotion to inconspicuously steal a kibbeh or two before the platter could make its way out of the kitchen and onto the…

The Best Frozen Fish You Can Buy

Byadmin April 25, 2022

In 1912, a food-obsessed Brooklynite named Clarence Birdseye moved to Labrador, Canada. There, he noticed the Indigenous Inuits’ fishing practices: letting their catches freeze on the spot in the frigid, 30-below-zero air, preserving the ocean-fresh flavor. After returning to the U.S. in 1917, Birdseye went on to develop the modern flash-freezing process. His obituaries would…

Skip the Gatherings and Travel for the Holidays

Byadmin November 18, 2021

Here we are again. That time of year when the only topic of conversation among friends and coworkers is where everyone is going for the holidays — what will be on the table, who will be in attendance, will there be a turkey; and if so, who’s cooking it. Small talk usually makes me claustrophobic…

Hulu’s ‘The Great’ Creator on Peter’s Unrelenting Food Obsession

Byadmin December 3, 2021

On Hulu’s The Great, Peter (played with equal parts pomposity and likability by Nicholas Hoult) must decide between ruling and roast pork. Surprising to no one who’s watched the show and familiarized themselves with the emperor, he chooses the pork. Though in all fairness, it has been prepared with cognac, apples, and marjoram — a…
