Boxer Babe Brandelli opened The Brig in 1952 and is remembered on the bar’s iconic sign above the entrance. Once through the door, guests are greeted by a refreshed mid-century interior, influenced by the popular modern stylings during the early years of The Brig. At the rear of the bar is the entrance to a patio, flanked by the famed Art Mortimer mural-with-in-a mural.

The Brig is located at  1515 Abbot Kinney Boulevard. For more information visit thebrig.com .
