THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Rush Street Restaurant Review:

Owner Brian McKeaney, whose offices are in Culver City, couldn't find a fun, comfortable bar to unwind after work. So he decided to open his own in the now-busy downtown area. Rush Street claims to have the longest bar in the city (though we didn't measure): 36 feet of polished concrete. Indeed, the very lengthy slab holds hundreds of back-lit bottles that serve as the decorative focus of the brick-walled dining room. It's easy to see that the cocktails and micro-brewed beers are the big attraction at this restaurant named after the famed street in Chicago, where McKeaney's family owns several restaurants/bars. Drinks, which can also be sipped on the two outdoor terraces, may be accompanied by small bites such as crispy calamari, ahi tacos and dry-aged beef sliders. Bigger appetites may opt for the turkey meatloaf, grilled salmon or New York steak. For dessert, we recommend the carrot cake. There are more than a dozen wide-screen TVs, making Rush Street a great game-day destination.
