The Loft at Liz’s art gallery in Los Angeles features both emerging and established artists and artisans, fostering an open dialogue between eclectic and diverse points of view, ideologies and experiences. Works of all mediums are featured. Located in the historic Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, the hardware store was born in 1979 when Liz happened upon a 4000 square foot warehouse in Chicago filled to the brim with objects culled by a local picker from garage sales, abandoned buildings, and flea markets. Liz purchased the contents, and with her keen eye set to work organizing the haphazard menagerie into a successful wholesale hardware department store. In 1992 the business relocated to Los Angeles, where Liz’s Antique Hardware remains a staple for the Southern California antique and interior design community. Our space is a 1,200+ sq ft New York style loft with weathered hardwood floors, wood ceiling beams and plenty of natural light. A fine art gallery open to the public daily, exhibits are changed bi-monthly. Art exhibits are thematically curated. Please contact gallery staff for upcoming or current exhibit details. Decor features vintage lighting and antique hardware. Two staircases lead up to the loft: one is accessed through the store and a private entrance is conveniently accessed through the back alley. A smaller private room off of the main area can be used for a full bar or DJ set-up. Location includes built-in high performance audio and wireless PA system. A fully functional kitchen includes antique appliances, hardwood kitchen island and stainless steel shelving.

surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku spent time in Malibu, California, where he taught surfing and competed in water sports. He also appeared in more than 28 Hollywood films during his time in the area. Duke's Malibu not only pays homage to Duke, but it also pays homage to the early days of surfing in Malibu as well. It's also worth noting that Kathy Kohner Zuckerman, who served as the inspiration for the Gidget novel, movie, and television series that ignited the California surfing craze, is a regular at Duke's Malibu as our Ambassador of Aloha. As the sun sets over Malibu's shores, Duke's Malibu invites you and your guests to create timeless memories and lifelong friendships while taking in the sights and sounds of the sunset and the spirit of Aloha. As you dine on fresh, coastal-inspired cuisine and enjoy the genuine, friendly service that is Duke's trademark, the sound of waves crashing on the shore will serve as the backdrop to your wedding. We have two private event rooms, both of which have ocean views and can be dressed up or down to suit any type of event. Our cuisine, which includes sustainably and freshly caught seafood, premium steaks, all-natural chicken, Duroc all-natural pork, and locally sourced produce, is every bit as satisfying as the view from our restaurant. Our talented culinary team has created a variety of plated, buffet, and family style meal options that can be customized to meet the dietary needs of our guests. Whether you're drinking our signature Mai Tai or one of our other beach-inspired cocktails, keep the Aloha flowing. You can also drink like a local by sipping on one of our California beers or a glass of wine from the Malibu shoreline.
