Mel's Drive-In - Sunset Blvd

About

The following information is available for Mel's Drive-In - Sunset Blvd:

The quintessential American Restaurant. Food, drinks and atmosphere that's nothing short of iconic.

Our most photogenic location, Mels Sunset, is housed in one of the last remaining “Googie” style buildings in Southern California. Located on the famous Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, the building was previously home to Ben Franks, the iconic coffee shop that was a famous hangout for rockers in the 60s and 70s after gigs, and the headquarters for teens during the Sunset Strip Riots. It is rumored the band Buffalo Springfield was formed in the parking lot, and The Monkees were cast based on call asking for “spirited Ben Franks types.” One might have seen luminaries such as Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, Andy Warhol, and Bob Dylan stopping in for late night eats. Opened in 1997, Mels Sunset continues to be an ideal place for celebrity spotting and people watching. A favorite for locals and tourists alike, this location boasts an outdoor patio with a full view of the Strip and a large, airy dining room inside where you can play your favorite tunes on the tableside jukeboxes. Centrally located between Hollywood and Beverly Hills, it’s an excellent place to kick off your LA adventure with the city’s best breakfast and one of our fresh juicebar drinks. Enjoy a classic burger or a crisp salad before visiting one of the famous Sunset Strip attractions, such as The Roxy, The Whiskey A Go Go, or shopping along The Sunset Plaza. This location is the only Mels open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is the premier after hours spot on the Sunset Strip.

Joe Jonas Having a Milkshake at Mel's Drive-In

Mel's Drive-In In Honda

Even the founding fathers know where to go when they want great food! Thanks to Honda for featuring us -- we're proud to be an American Classic!

When the founding father want to grab a bite, they know where to go! Checkout our cameo in this new Honda commercial!

On behalf of all of us at Mel's Drive-In, we would like to thank our amazing customers -- or rather, our extended Mel's family! The city of San Francisco was set to tear down Mel's on Geary Street and replace it with new condos and apartments. However, thanks to your protests, and signatures from more than 50,000 of you, your voices were heard loud and clear! We're excited to announce that, thanks to all of you, we aren't going anywhere! http://www.sfexaminer.com/unusual-twist-amid-development-boom-mels-drive-will-not-torn-housing/

rain video

In LA we don't have much experience prepping for the rain -- apparently you shouldn't leave trash cans in front of your house before a torrential downpour.

#TBT to when Ali Fedotowsky showed US how it's done in Hollywoodland!
