Sounds like the ’80s was another great time to be in downtown L.A. Hopefully First & Hope can help the revival continue. Lori Lynn,

Thanks for sharing that story. Sounds like the ’80s was another great time to be in downtown L.A. Hopefully First & Hope can help the revival continue.

Brought back a lot of memories for me. I managed a restaurant at 330 S. Hope in LA called Stepps on the Court in the '80's. It is the same space that now houses Nick & Stef's. I have never seen a happy hour like the ones we had back then with hundreds of bankers, brokers, and advertising execs. We sold cases and cases of Corona Beer plus literally cases of Cristal every day at happy hour. We had seven bartenders working happy hour, with extra stations set up on the patio. Those were the days...until Black Monday in October of '87. Best wishes for great success to First & Hope. LL Hi Josh – this is a terrific post! Brought back a lot of memories for me.
