Banana Leaf Expanding To Brentwood

I told you two years ago when Brentwood’s fave watering hole/pickup joint Cabo Cantina, at 11829 Wilshire, fell victim to the Pandemic.  The space has sat empty ever since.  That’s about to change.  A sharp-eyed reader (Thanks Matt!) spotted an ABC application on the front of the address that confirms that Banana Leaf is moving in.  Bringing a much-needed and refreshing injection into the Brentwood food scene, Banana Leaf has five other LA locations and offers a menu they describe as a “balance between classics and progressive Indian cuisine”.

The Auld Fella Set To Breathe New Life Into Brentwood’s Bar Scene

You may recall that the Pandemic Closures hit bars particularly hard, and Brentwood’s local watering hole Bru Haus at 11831 Wilshire Blvd. was no exception:  It closed in 2020.  Then it appeared that the location was going to get an island-themed restaurant named Morabeza, but that never materialized.  Now there’s a new ABC application posted on the front listing the new tenant as The Auld Fella.  The Auld Fella describes itself as “an Irish joint” and currently has a location in Culver City.  Hopefully their arrival will bring new life to Brentwood’s once-thriving bar scene.

(Thanks John!

Cabo Cantina Won’t Be Returning To Brentwood

I’ve been telling you how hard the COVID closures have been on bars.  It looks like we have another casualty in Brentwood.  While their other branches have opened outdoors, the location of wildly popular watering hole and hook-up joint Cabo Cantina at 11829 Wilshire didn’t have a lot of options.  They have been shuttered for the duration, but I had no confirmation of a permanent closure.  Now, sadly, a for lease sign has gone up on the front giving proof that they have indeed given up the ghost.
