18 Los Angeles Restaurants, Bars And Food Experiences To Try This Summer

Set inside the former Collateral pawn shop on Melrose, this summer opening reimagines a longtime family run neighborhood fixture as a 7,800-square-foot sports-viewing hub. Pawn Shop pairs private suites and a 48-seat bar with a food program from James Beard Award-winning chef Tony Messina. The menu will include caviar-topped hot dogs, charbroiled oysters and pu pu platters, alongside a 48-seat bar and private suites for sports viewing. Backed by Mark Cuban and the Dodgers’ Andrew Friedman, the project is especially timely ahead of the upcoming World Cup and Los Angeles Olympics.
