Crews, a retailer and food and beverage operator at top airports, announced plans to open a second Rock & Brews at the Los Angeles International Airport.

The rock-inspired restaurant founded by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS will open to travelers in the fourth quarter of this year as part of the $508 million overhaul of Terminal 1 that is being spearheaded by Southwest Airlines in partnership with Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and Westfield.

The first Rock & Brews at LAX opened in Terminal 5 in Oct. 2013.

“We are thrilled to add a little rock style excitement to the travel experience of Southwest Airlines guests in Terminal 1,” says a joint statement from Stanley and Simmons.

Rock & Brews is a family-friendly restaurant and entertainment concept that offers American comfort food and a full bar with a broad selection of craft beers in an environment that celebrates classic rock and roll and encourages a multigenerational sense of community.

“Rock & Brews has proven to be a highly popular brand at LAX,” says Gina Marie Lindsey, executive director of Los Angeles World Airports.  “The brand is a perfect fit for the planned changes at Terminal 1 and we are confident that travelers will be surprised and delighted by the restaurant’s alluring combination of great food, great drinks and great rock and roll.”

Rock & Brews debuted in 2012 with its first restaurant in El Segundo, California.  Today, the brand has 10 locations in the United States and Mexico and is poised for thoughtful expansion worldwide with freestanding restaurants, sports and entertainment venues, and airport concepts. 

Rock & Brews will offer both dine in or to-go service.  Guests with time to spare can take a seat, select from an array of signature dishes including various breakfast items, salads, pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, and entrées, as well as a broad range of craft beers, while enjoying the rock-inspired environment.

Rock & Brews at Terminal 1 will be open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. 

Rock & Brews is also currently developing restaurants in Phoenix; Dallas; Buena Park, California; Downey, California; and Orlando, Florida, among other locations.
