Passing through downtown Culver City the other day, we noticed the new signage on Rush Street, but as you can see, there's still a lot of work activity happening in there. Plywood still up, no glass in those windows, etc. We're told there's still a couple more weeks of construction left, which makes it unlikely it bows this month. If it happens in May, it will be just barely. The former sign shop will have a large sidewalk patio, a 35-foot bar (the largest, they say, in Culver City), a lounge and dining room downstairs, and a second-floor lounge with CC's only roof-top patio, and that friends, everyone wants for summer.

CULVER CITY: Our first Plywood sighting of Rush Street was last September when a tipster told us an owner was from Ford's across the street, and it looked like it could open by the end of the year. Ahem. Here we have shots of the gutted space from a couple weeks ago. You'll see work is progressing at a fast clip, and we're told Rush Street will hopefully open in April. More details: Owners are Chicago native Brian McKeaney, who grew up in the bar/restaurant business (his family owns thirteen establishments on and around Rush Street), TV and film producer Ken Kaufman, and Tom Patchett, co-founder of Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station Art Complex. The former sign shop will have a large sidewalk patio, a 35-foot bar (the largest, they say, in Culver City), a lounge and dining room downstairs, and a second-floor lounge with CC's only roof-top patio. Ah, now we see why it's taken so long; imagine the permits for that. Expect signature fresh-fruit cocktails, microbrews, wines, and updated bar food from chef Dave Northrup, lunch, dinner, late-night. Seriously. Culver City is shaping up to be its own mini bar-hopping mecca. (9546 Washington Blvd.)
