Hollywood has just unveiled not only another new hot spot but the coolest social, dining and sports lounge experience yet. Upscale design meets refined and locally sourced versions of your favorite comfort dishes.
Recently opened in the heart of Hollywood, 3rd Base takes it to another level! Already a celebrity favorite, the venue offers Angelenos the only elevated sports viewing experience in the city- the location provides the perfect backdrop for an elevated sport-watching experience. All of this as well as a locally-sourced, Chef-forward menu and cocktail program.
The Design
This is a sports bar of a whole different animal. As both a sports bar and a lounge, Franklin Studios Architecture was charged with creating a space that was masculine and comfortable as well as elegant and beautiful. And did they ever.
As you wind down the corridor through beautifully wood-paneled walls that lead to a trophy case that covers the walls of the main room, you find yourself at the main bar. A mural by local artist and designer Andrew Haan adorns the back wall.
A retractable door leads patrons into a second area with a massive theatre screen complete with stadium seating and a separate bar. The design firm took a once undefined corner and anchored the space with strong materials and a sleek design that has its foundation rooted in the iconic California 60’diners of the past layered with modern elements of today. The VIP room brings the familiar feel of a ballpark with its stadium seating and ivy-covered brick walls.
The Food
This is not your grandfather’s sports bar food! The farm-to-table menu provides elevated locally-sourced fare. There is something for everyone’s taste.
Guests can order everything from their famous 3rd Base Nachos where each chip is covered with spicy queso, cilantro crème, pico de gallo and the works, to Philly Cheesesteak Sliders to their legendary Lobster Pizza made with a lobster infused tomato sauce topped with butter-poached lobster and fresh mozzarella.
But you might just want to stick with their Classic Burger, complete with a rib-eye blend patty, is a fan favorite. Those looking to finish off their night with something a little sweeter can enjoy Fried Strawberries, a warm ice cream bun dessert with purple yam and coconut ice cream.
