Our most photogenic location, Mels Sunset, is housed in one of the last remaining “Googie” style buildings in Southern California. Located on the famous Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, the building was previously home to Ben Franks, the iconic coffee shop that was a famous hangout for rockers in the 60s and 70s after gigs, and the headquarters for teens during the Sunset Strip Riots. It is rumored the band Buffalo Springfield was formed in the parking lot, and The Monkees were cast based on a call asking for “spirited Ben Franks types.” One might have seen luminaries such as Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, Andy Warhol, and Bob Dylan stopping in for late-night eats.
