27 Restaurant Miami

27 Restaurant is Bar Lab’s first full-service restaurant and bar, also located at the Freehand Miami and adjoined to the Broken Shaker. The creative and tasty local food coupled with its inviting and nostalgic atmosphere are reminiscent of a modern-day salon.

The meals incorporate a variety of enticing Miami ethnic dishes using an eccentric variety of spices, herbs, vegetables, breads, and proteins all locally grown and sourced for fresh flavor.

The Anderson

In 2016, Bar Lab took on the recreation of Miami’s oldest standing bar and liquor license, previously know as Magnum. Located in the heart of MiMo, the venue is poised as a local neighborhood bar with an approachable ambiance reminiscent of 1980’s counterculture with a laid-back and modern twist. Bar Lab’s innovative bar program showcases a unique take on cocktails, by paying homage to the forgotten classics. To complement the eclectic cocktail menu, Miami’s rising star chef, Alex Chang, the Executive Chef of the Vagabond Hotel, created the food menu which takes an exotic approach to traditional bar bites.

THE EXCHANGE LOS ANGELES

Freehand LA’s restaurant, The Exchange, pays homage to the 12 story vintage blade sign (the largest in LA) under which its entrance proudly sits. The restaurant is led by the team behind Bar Lab, who brought us the beloved 27 Restaurant at Freehand Miami, and Angeleno chef Alex Chang, best known locally for his Paladar dinner series. Similar to 27 Restaurant in Miami, where dishes explore the city’s many flavors through a Latin lens, the menu at The Exchange explores the multi-cultural flavors of urban LA through an Israeli lens. This is the first restaurant in California from the design team Roman & Williams.

Rudolph’s Bar & Tea Los Angeles

Located in the hotel’s lobby, Rudolph’s Bar & Tea offers a menu built around tea-infused cocktails & vintage spirits, alongside full tea service and light bites. The bar is a nod to Rudolph Rosenberg, once the owner and operator of the Commercial Exchange Building that now houses Freehand LA.
