Lease the Historic Cole's French Dip Space: A Unique LA Opportunity A rare 5,056 sq ft opportunity is available to lease the iconic 118 E 6th Street, former home of Cole's French Dip. Established in 1908, Cole's is Los Angeles' oldest public house and continuous restaurant, famed for its claim to inventing the French Dip sandwich and its deep roots in the Pacific Electric Building. Designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, it served a diverse clientele for over a century, appearing in films and hosting figures like Charles Bukowski. After 118 years, Cole's recently closed due to economic pressures. This marks a pivotal moment for a new business to inhabit a space with unparalleled recognition and a rich emotional connection within downtown LA. The ideal tenant will honor this profound legacy while crafting a compelling new chapter for this celebrated address, rekindling its spirit of history and hospitality.
