Los Angeles Restaurants Open New Doors This Weekend: July 17

Residents looking for concrete dining options this weekend have several dated events to consider. Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica begins its one-night-only LA X LA Culinary Dinner Series on July 17 at 5 p.m. with Chef Elijah Deleon and Mike Stoltzfus of Coquette. Louis Coffee Bar opens its doors the same day with a $1 drinks promotion running from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. A Chicago pop-up called HexClad Serves Up: Mr. Beef at Uncle Paulie’s Deli starts July 19 at Uncle Paulie’s Deli and operates Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Louis Coffee Bar Grand Opening

The $1 drinks offer at Louis Coffee Bar provides a direct incentive for early arrivals on Friday. The promotion covers the full operating window from morning through evening, allowing residents to fit a stop into varied schedules without additional cost barriers during those hours.

Rustic Canyon Culinary Dinner Series

Rustic Canyon’s single-night series on July 17 pairs local talent with an out-of-town chef. The 5 p.m. start time gives residents an evening option anchored in Santa Monica. The event name LA X LA signals a focused collaboration rather than an ongoing series.

HexClad Serves Up Pop-up

The Chicago pop-up arrives at Uncle Paulie’s Deli on July 19. Service runs both weekend days in the stated window, giving residents two consecutive opportunities to sample the menu without weekday timing conflicts.
