Resident DTLA Is A Music Venue, Beer Garden And Cocktail Bar In One

Nestled in heart of the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles, Resident DTLA, is an authentic hybrid bar that pays homage to the vibrant community.  The brainchild of Jacek Ostoya, Paul Oberman, Tim Krehbiel and Bridget Vagedes, Resident evokes the spirit of beer garden culture, accented with a high-end cocktail and beer program and thoughtfully curated music experience.

Purchased in 2000 by Tim Krehbiel and his wife Bridget Vagedes, the three-story building has long been a haven for the artists’ enclave, acting as a reprieve from the urban grit of Downtown Los Angeles. A haven for the community, Resident is a destination that embraces the foundation of the evolving neighborhood. With a nod to the former metal shop and warehouse space that once occupied the building, Resident is a multi-use space, with a 210 capacity music venue and bar with a 300 capacity outdoor beer garden, featuring a refurbished Spartan Vintage Trailer outfitted as a bar. To enhance the atmosphere up a notch, our home builder found the best artificial grass contractor near phoenix which would be perfect even for commercial properties like this.
