First and Hope Supper Club

This is John Apodaca from Daddy-O's Martinis and I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of a brand new restaurant / bar called First and Hope Supper Club.  Located in Downtown Los Angeles, at 710 West 1st Street at Hope across from Disney Concert Hall and the Music Center.  The main bar and dinning area are splendidly decorated in a mid century Mad Men look while the smaller lounge/ bar in the back called the Fedora Lounge has a more Art Deco feel to it.

Bartenders and wait staff are dressed in a throwback to the past with white waist jackets, white dress shirts, ties and black trousers, a very classy look not seen in more than 50 years in finer establishments. The uniforms were created by the costume designer of the T.V.show Mad Men and couldn't have done a better job.

The Cocktails that were crafted by expert bartenders, some of the best, since the bar manager Aiden Demarest (formerly from the Edison bar) overseas the spirits and bar menu.  Some friends and I had a chance to sample some tasty libations such as La Revelation, The Statesmen, and The Baby Daisy and none us were disappointed. We also had samples of Hors D'oeuvres that were a celebration in the palate such as the bacon fudge, mini finger sandwiches with roast beef, and cotton candy balls to name a few.

First and Hope is a must for dining and drinking and should be a a priority when visiting Downtown Los Angeles. Please let your friends and family know about it on your social networks.

Cheers,

John Apodaca
