REDONDO BEACH— Despite having soft opened just a week ago in Redondo Beach, Cork'er is already offering a dining deal: score $30 worth of food for just $20. Cork'er replaces Catalina Coffee Company within the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore and is an effort by Larry Killian, former operator of Killian's Irish Pub in Torrance. Think of Cork'er as a casual gastropubby place open from breakfast through dinner with craft beers on draft and a short wine list. [ELA]
