This was originally a power plant - and has been converted, with the original equipment, into a great bar. Hidden entrance. Great place to take friends from out of town. Super cool.

Essentials

I recommend it because it's the only major grocery store in DTLA. Good organic produce department and the mean department manager is cool. Underground parking is free with validation. Drive or walk.
