The menu

An open walkway that lets in the cool LA breeze and creates a New York-like ambiance

Pattern Bar has opened in the LA Fashion District! Co-owners Alejandro Meza and Eduardo Castillo (pictured above from L-R) have set up shop on 9th & Main Streets with a full-service bar, Spanish-inspired dishes and good vibes. Appropriately named, Pattern Bar also serves up signature cocktail drinks that give homage to haute fashion houses like The Dior (Belvedere Vodka with a hint of orange bitters), The Chanel (Chinaco Reposado with fresh cilantro) and The McQueen (Hendricks Gin and passion fruit).

We are excited to have a new addition in our neighborhood and an evening spot that our visitors and locals will enjoy!

Small Town Summer Snapshots

I've been living in small town Wisconsin since February, it's such a change of pace from big city Florida living. It's definitely made me appreciate the little things that make summer so fun; spontaneous road trips, grilling out, floating around the lakes & campfires. 
These are a few of my favorite snapshots of summer:

I've adjusted well to my new life, I'm thankful for Midwestern hospitality and the opportunity to experience my local surroundings at their best. My FL friends & fam know I miss them tons, but I can't wait to show visitors around my new home!
