Even in the hustle and bustle of a busy evening, Cole's is a place to relax and lose yourself in the moment. Our regulars, or as we call them "the Professionals," hold court on a daily basis welcoming newcomers and seasoned veterans to the party. The sense of community truly defines hospitality like no other. Cole's is the place where you are always part of the party. Even when you are by yourself, you are never alone.
In 1908, Cole's, inventor of the French Dip sandwich and the oldest public house in Los Angeles was established by entrepreneur Harry Cole and housed in the hollow of the historic Pacific Electric Building, the once center of transit tycoon Henry Huntington's railway network. At its peak, 100,000 passengers passed through the city's vital transportation hub daily and many of them stopping to partake in Cole's delicious French dips and a pint in the Red Car Bar. In 2008, Pouring With Heart reopened Cole's after a careful and loving $1.6 million year-long restoration. In 2009, Cole's was awarded with an outstanding achievement in the field of historic preservation by the Los Angeles Conservancy's coveted Preservation Award.
We offer a simple menu of our classic french dips featuring savory slow roasted beef, braised pork, braised lamb, and pastrami accompanied by made from scratch ingredients including the au jus, atomic mustard, and even the atomic pickles.
Small bites include classics like our fries (traditional or spicy garlic!), and you can now even order our food online for pickup—deliver coming soon!
The bar displays a thoughtful collection of premium spirits, drafts, and classic co*cktails that compliment our French Dip. We like our drinks up with a twist or brown and down. Our focus is paying respect to the forgotten classics and obscurities, resurrecting pieces of liquid history.
Philippe's was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the “French Dipped Sandwich.” One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven.

There is further uncertainty about why the dish is called the French dip. It could be due to Philippe's heritage, the French roll it is served on, or because the police officer's name was French. The second restaurant that claims to have invented the French dip is Cole's, also known as Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet.
A Noble Beginning. In 1762, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich®, invented the meal that changed dining forever. As the story goes, he was playing cards and did not want to leave the gaming table to eat. He asked for a serving of roast beef to be placed between two slices of bread so he could eat with his hands.
Jack Garlinghouse, Cole's house chef, dips bread in Au Jus to soften it for a customer with bad gums. Thus, he originates the French Dip sandwich, a universally beloved Los Angeles culinary invention.
Arrange meat on hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone. Bake sandwiches in the preheated oven until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Serve sandwiches with small bowls of warm broth for dipping.
