Most build-outs take 18 months and a million dollars. This one's already done. 2401-B Kettner Blvd. in Little Italy is a fully built-out, design-forward 2,920 SF restaurant and bar — anchored by an iconic rotating carousel bar, soaring wood-beam ceilings, hand-painted murals, and a turn-key kitchen. Someone poured serious capital into this space. Now it's yours to reimagine.
Weekend brunch with kids losing their minds over the carousel? Late-night cocktails for the design-obsessed? The canvas is extraordinary — the concept is yours to define.
