Directly next door to Hollywood’s Beauty & Essex is a casual newcomer called the Chap (@thechappub). The British pub-inspired restaurant and bar opened in the Vinyl District on Saturday, November 19 with a lush patio garden dining area, European pints on tap, and classic British dishes. And in a more timely matter, the Chap can also be a dedicated place to watch the World Cup. The Chap features cozy leather booths, British racing green wood paneling, art sourced from estate sales and vintage markets, and a wall of hand-drawn caricatures of U.K.-born icons like Amy Winehouse, Princess Diana, David Bowie, and the restaurant’s namesake, Charlie Chaplin. The food is uncomplicated, familiar pub fare featuring fish and chips, bangers and mash, Sunday roasted prime rib with mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. But the menu also ventures into more modern fare with a double-smashed Tillamook cheddar burger with onion fondue, herb remoulade, and dill pickles on a brioche bun.
