Neighborhood guide
A former industrial pocket south of downtown — galleries, studios, and restaurants in warehouse buildings. The current food story contrasts Aba’s polished new development with Bastion’s smaller adaptive-reuse character.
The short version
Come for galleries, a taproom, and dinner that is not downtown. Aba is the primary group-dinner and design recommendation; Bastion remains the intimate food-focused counterweight.
Aba’s polished two-level room and Bastion’s smaller adaptive-reuse character are the current tension that defines eating in WeHo.
Dinner + design
Best for · Group dinner + design
One of the biggest new additions to Wedgewood-Houston. Aba's Nashville location pairs Mediterranean food with a large two-level indoor-outdoor space that feels purpose-built for group dinners. Come as much for the room and patio as for the menu.
