3rd Base opens in Hollywood with a decidedly upscale sports bar vibe.

Hollywood has hit another home run! 3rd Base, a social dining and sports bar experience recently opened its doors to the public in December.

Wood paneling throughout the corridor leads to a trophy case and covers the walls of the main room of 3rd Base. Facing the main bar, a mural by local artist and designer Andrew Haan adorns the back wall. A retractable door leads patrons into a second area with a massive theatre screen complete with stadium seating and a separate bar. As both a sports bar and a lounge, Franklin Studios Architecture was charged with creating a space that was masculine and comfortable as well as elegant and beautiful. The design firm took a once undefined corner and anchored the space with strong materials and a sleek design that has its foundation rooted in the iconic California 60’s diners of the past layered with modern elements of today. The VIP room brings the familiar feel of a ballpark with its stadium seating and ivy-covered brick walls.

All Bets Are Off

The farm to table menu provides diners and bar patrons alike with elevated, locally sourced fare.

Their Classic Burger, complete with a rib-eye blend patty is a fan favorite.
