Alphabet Bar & Grill Opens at Palisades Village With Chef Timothy Hollingsworth
The h.wood Group and chef Timothy Hollingsworth opened Alphabet Bar & Grill at 1033 N. Swarthmore Avenue on August 15, serving California-minded American grill fare daily from 11 AM to 10 PM.

Alphabet Bar & Grill is now open at Palisades Village, where The h.wood Group partnered with James Beard Award-winning chef Timothy Hollingsworth and Caruso on a neighborhood American grill named for the Alphabet Streets of Pacific Palisades.
The restaurant opened August 15 at 1033 N. Swarthmore Avenue and serves lunch and dinner from 11 AM to 10 PM daily. Reservations, current details, and the full menu are available through Alphabet's official website.
The Neighborhood Grill
Alphabet describes its menu as elevated comfort food with timeless cocktails and a California take on the classic American grill. The current dinner menu centers familiar, shareable cooking, including rotisserie chicken and seasonal sides.
The striped tables, open dining room, and all-day hours are built around the restaurant's stated goal of giving the community a familiar place to reconnect and gather.


The Team Behind It
The h.wood Group operates the restaurant with Hollingsworth as chef partner and Caruso as the Palisades Village partner. The concept trades the group's nightlife profile for a family-friendly neighborhood dining room with classic cocktails and an approachable American menu.
Opening updates and new menu additions are also posted through @alphabetpalisades on Instagram.
Alphabet's strongest idea is not the striped tables or the Palisades address. It is the promise of a dependable neighborhood grill with enough range for a family dinner, cocktails at the bar, or a last-minute lunch. Start with the rotisserie chicken, then let the seasonal sides do the rest.
