The newest lineup on the bright lights of LA Live is quite distinct from any of its neighbors. Far from the glitz of Fleming’s or Wolfgang Puck’s Bar & Grill, Tom’s Urban seeks to whip up multi-ethnic and contemporary cuisines utilizing the freshest ingredients. With its expansive space and state of the art décor, Tom’s Urban is definitely a cozy hangout spot offering a fully stocked bar of liquor, beer and wine, gourmet bar food and comfort food.

Opening its door from 6:30 am – 2:00 am (no, that's not a type, they open at 6:30 in the morning), founder Tom Ryan is
pushing the concept of small plates where guests can eat and drink before or
after a game at the Staples Center. Now if you’re not familiar with Tom Ryan,
his resume is quite impressive. He’s the brain behind the Smashburger, Mcdonald’s Value Menu, Mcgriddle and many other innovative fast
food favorites. Though many of the dishes at Tom’s Urban can’t be categorized
as fast food, Tom makes a promise that all the food ordered will be served within
6 to 8 minutes span.
Overall, the menu is customized to cater many different
personalities. For those who prefer to eat light, they have small plates along
with fancy omelets and benedicts. And those who prefer heartier meals could opt
for Macaroni and cheese, pizza, soft tacos, salads, burgers and many other
diner favorites. Craft beers and fun cocktails are served all day.
