Located along Los Angeles’ iconic Walk of Fame, Smashed opens in Hollywood on Friday, October 11. Serving playful cocktails paired with all-American smashed burgers and fries, the concept helms from the owners of the Mexican-inspired cantina, Te’Kila, in Hollywood and Sherman Oaks. Taking over the former Five0Four bar space, Smashed serves as an edgy new hangout on Hollywood Boulevard fit for date nights, social gatherings, and nights out on the strip.
“In opening a new restaurant and bar concept, we wanted to honor Los Angeles’ beloved smashed burger, and create a fun space that played off of our ‘90’s upbringing, even bringing in artist friends to collaborate in the space,” says co-owner Kevin Zadoyan. “Smashed burgers and fries are my go-to comfort food – and paired with a cocktail or beer – you can’t go wrong.”
To celebrate the official opening weekend, Smashed will host a two-day grand opening party. Guests will enjoy giveaways, drinks, live music, and burgers, with plenty of instagramable moments. Happenings and specials include:
Friday, October 11– Free burgers between 6-7 p.m., drink specials, live DJ spinning between 9 p.m.-2 a.m., special guest appearances, and giveaways
Saturday, October 12 and Sunday October 13– Live DJ spinning between 9 p.m.-2 a.m. and drink specials
