Universal CityWalk Is Getting a Korean Barbecue Restaurant
is an editor of the Southern California/Southwest region, who covers the evolving landscape of LA's food scene. A series of restaurant closures hit Universal CityWalk in January, with the theme park-adjacent shopping street saying goodbye to Popcornopolis, Sparky's, Crepe Cafe, Dongpo Kitchen, and more. Now, a new slate of restaurant openings is being announced, including Raising Cane's, Slice House by Tony Gemignani, and most recently, Fullerton-based Korean barbecue spot Mr. BBQ. The restaurant, which has a second location in Las Vegas, will take over the former Johnny Rockets space, reports What Now LA. Mr. BBQ is slated to open sometime in 2026. If the menu at the original Fullerton location is any indication, diners can expect all-you-can-eat meats like pork jowl, beef brisket, and beef belly, alongside gyeran-jjim (steamed egg), soondubu, and more. Soju and beer will also be on deck to wash it all down. A new bar at the Getty Hilltop art museum the Getty just debuted a new cocktail bar in its courtyard. Trellis Bar & Lounge, serving from 2 p.m. onward on days the museum is open, serves cocktails and small bites, including tostadas, taquitos, and more.

The Getty's free sunset concert series is back for the summer
Summer is so close we can smell it, and that means all of our favorite outdoor events are making their comebacks. Jazz at LACMA is back in action, Cinespia and Barnsdall Park's Friday Night Wine Tastings have already been announced, and now add to that list the Getty Center 's popular Off the 405 series. The museum's annual concert series announced its lineup on Wednesday, and it includes four evenings of eclectic programming. The best part: Tickets—like admission to the Getty Center—are free, though you'll want to try to secure a reservation ahead of time; tickets tend to open up about two to three weeks before each show. The locally beloved Off the 405 series has been drawing crowds to the Getty's courtyard since 2009 (besides taking a couple years off during the pandemic). With past headliners including Moses Sumney, Allah-Las, Chicano Batman and Shannon and the Clams, each year the series' curated lineup spans a range of genres and regularly showcases some of the most exciting up-and-comers in the independent music scene. Each performance starts at 7:30pm and will be preceded by a DJ set at 6pm. Listening to free live music while watching the sun set over the L.A. skyline in one of the city's most beautiful venues—what could be better? And now for the lineup: First up on May 31 is SML. No, they're not an outlet for songs from Saturday Night Live, but rather an L.A.-based quintet of musicians who've worked with the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Leon Bridges and Perfume Genius. The band, who recently played a sold-out show at the Lodge Room, blends jazz, Afrobeat, kosmische (electronic Krautrock) and ambient influences. Jeff Parker and Scottie McNiece will DJ before the performance. Tickets are available starting today, May 8. As of the time of writing, there's no show scheduled in June, but on July 12, Nashville-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Madi Diaz will take the stage. Diaz, who's collaborated with Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves and toured with Angel Olsen and Waxahatchee, is also a recent Grammy nominee for best folk album. Tickets are available starting Thursday, June 26. Two weeks later on July 26 is Empress Of, the musical project of Honduran-American L.A.-based singer-songwriter Lorely Rodriguez. Her bold, bilingual music blends electronic, R&B and dream pop. Tickets are available starting Thursday, July 3. And last but not least, L.A.-based composer, singer and songwriter Emile Mosseri will perform on August 23. You've likely heard Mosseri's work before—he composed the scores for films including The Last Black Man in San Francisco and Minari, which earned him an Oscar nomination. His songwriting shows a more personal side of the artist, and his live performances combine both sides of his repertoire. Tickets are available starting Thursday, July 31. Note that even though tickets are free, they're still required and will serve as your museum reservation. Oh, and as always, you'll still have to pay for parking (normally $25, it's $15 after 3pm and only $10 if you show up after 6pm). If a show is sold-out, walk-ups will be admitted day-of if any spots end up being available, if you want to try your luck. Either way, we recommend arriving early to check out the galleries and gardens before the show and making a day of it.
