Restaurants
Culture-forward dining. Bold flavors, elevated plates and rooms with a pulse.
Open Yard Hospitality Group
Restaurants. Venues. Experiences. Everything hospitality, with soul.
We build spaces where flavor, music and people from every walk of life pull up to the same table. Classy in the details, street in the spirit — LA energy, New York grit.
The Vision
Hospitality has always had a dress code. We're rewriting it — bringing the culture, the flavor and the vibe into rooms that never made space for it.
Ethnic flavors, real music, real people. Every concept is rooted in culture, not a theme.
Different cultures, one yard. And that energy, carried into elevated, upscale spaces.
Design, sound and service working together so every night feels like the place to be.
What We Build
Anything and everything under the hospitality umbrella — developed, designed and operated with the Open Yard standard.
Culture-forward dining. Bold flavors, elevated plates and rooms with a pulse.
Spaces built for nights people talk about — lounges, rooftops and yards made for gathering.
Private events, brand activations, pop-ups and celebrations — curated from the guest list to the last song.

The Founder
Chad West is a creative entrepreneur who has spent his career turning culture into business. He built his name from the ground up — starting small, earning respect one client at a time, with no shortcuts.
As the founder of Foreverinkbycali, Chad grew a creative brand rooted in storytelling, artistry and real connection with people — work that's been featured in Voyage LA and Bold Journey Magazine. Alongside it, he runs a marketing and management company, developing businesses, brands and growth strategies for clients and his own ventures.
Open Yard is where it all comes together. Chad saw hospitality spaces that didn't reflect the people and culture he came up around — so he set out to build ones that do. Rooms that feel classy and elevated, but never lose their edge. Places where everybody has a seat at the table.
