Despite spending four years of my life in Catholic high school, I didn’t grow up particularly religious. We were devout Christmas Catholics, with a possible Easter mass thrown in there if the egg hunt got over early. But even on those sporadic family trips to church, my 8 year old self generally wanted nothing to do with it. And how could I? It was Sunday morning, I hated the cut on my slacks, and there was a giant capture the flag game happening on the playground that people were going to be talking about tomorrow. I had places to be.
But throw a restaurant in an old abandoned church now that I’m an adult and running around makes my knees hurt? Sign me up.
When Redbird opened in downtown, it was a big deal. For one, it’s fancy. And with Ahmanson, Walt Disney Music Hall, and now The Broad all within vicinity, you can’t have enough of those. Also, it proved you didn’t have to bulldoze something to make downtown cool. The massive space is generally broken into two areas – a casual lounge area with a bar and the stunning main dining room with big white walls, an all-glass Cathedral ceiling, and a bar. It’s epic, unstuffy, and definitely my kind of church.
