Father's Office is a chain of gastropubs located in Los Angeles County.[1] The first Father's Office location was opened at 1018 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica, California, and has become famous for the Office Burger,[2] which Esquire called one of the best burgers in the world.[3]
History
Father's Office was founded in 1953. From 1986 to 2000, under the ownership of Lou Moench, Father's Office was influential in the rise of America's craft brewing industry and the establishment of smoke-free bars in California.
Moench initially sold two types of beers from Anchor Brewing Company and Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, and expanded the beer menu over the years to include more than 70 brands from California, Oregon and Washington. Selections would vary, depending on available stock and season.[4]
