Shawn Lickliter and Vay Su will open Vandell, a cocktail bar in Los Feliz, on December 5. The partners joined with Michael Francesconi and Matthew Glaser of Park Hospitality to convert an 800-square-foot space formerly occupied by Nossa into a themeless neighborhood bar. The concept emphasizes a casual, community-focused atmosphere modeled as a contemporary third place. The opening menu will include 27 cocktails—13 originals and 14 variations—alongside nonalcoholic options, spanning light aperitifs and market-fresh drinks to booze-forward classics. Lickliter is assembling vintage spirits for signature classics drawn from Michelin-level experience.
