Please join the ADSLA in L.A.'s Historic Core at the "Soup Kitchen", when we make a return visit to The Edison for 35 cent cocktails and free tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches! The Edison is the fabulous nightspot housed in one of the city's best-loved monuments, the Higgins Building. Commissioned by copper magnate Thomas Higgins and built in by Architects Haley & Martin in 1910, the Higgins Building was the tallest building west of the Mississippi, and was touted as being "absolutely fire and quake proof!" and was later the site of LA's first private power plant. After years of decline and neglect, the Higgins was rescued and reborn as the Edison, gaining a reputation for its hand-crafted cocktails served in an atmosphere that recalls the late, lamented Cocoanut Grove. Sound like fun? We thought so, too!

Come straight from work or slip into something more Deco - - either way, plan to join us for no-host cocktails on July 17th for an evening with like-minded people. Cocktails in Historic Places™ is open to members and non-members alike and reservations are not required.

The Edison offers valet parking for $9 and there are several pay lots within walking distance of the bar. Map of the area including parking location.

Check out the Edison's website for more information about the bar/restaurant. If you plan to stay for dinner, please call the Edison directly for reservations (213) 613-0000.
