The plan for Dakota is simple— to bring people of all backgrounds together to eat some good food, share some good drinks, enjoy some good company and listen to some good music. The Dakota clientele isn't a nameless face with a glass to be filled and a wallet to be emptied. The Dakota clientele is the Los Angeles local, the transplant from all corners of the world, the surfer, the traveler, the entrepreneur, the artist, the music lover that used to sneak thru venue windows to catch live shows (although Dakota's doors will be open to anyone with a legal ID).
