Guests may complement their beverage of choice with Mede’s seasonal small plates menu, featuring fresh sushi rolls and sashimi, charcuterie platters, oysters on the half shell, and more.
Also new is the lounge’s lineup of live music performances, which range from KCRW DJ Raul Camposspinning every Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., to returning favorites the Leftover Cuties turning out their signature vintage jazz-pop on select dates in March and May. Live music performances will rotate regularly, featuring a mix of DJs, jazz trios, renditions of classic soul legends, bossa nova, and more.
