Cole's, established in 1908, is one of the two Los Angeles restaurants that claim to have invented the French Dip sandwich, a debate that continues with Philippe's, another local eatery.
The restaurant is housed in the Pacific Electric Building, which was once the terminal for the Pacific Electric Railway, a major transportation hub in the early 20th century.
Behind the restaurant, you'll find The Varnish, a cocktail bar that offers a throwback to the Prohibition era with its classic drink menu and intimate setting.
The restaurant retains its original mahogany bar and penny tile floors, offering a glimpse into its storied past.
Throughout its history, Cole's has been frequented by celebrities and film industry professionals, adding to its cultural allure.
