One of Los Angeles\u2019<\/a> most anticipated cultural openings of 2026 is getting closer. The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, George Lucas and Mellody Hobson\u2019s ambitious new museum in Exposition Park,<\/a> is set to welcome visitors this fall, bringing a vast collection of narrative art, cinema and storytelling to South Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And now, there\u2019s another reason to put it on your radar: the museum\u2019s signature restaurant<\/a> is getting ready to open, too.<\/p>\n

A first look at Skywalker Grill<\/p>\n

Skywalker Grill<\/a> will officially open on September 22,<\/a> the same day as the Lucas Museum, and reservations are already available. The full-service restaurant sits atop the museum and will be open to both museum visitors and the general public, so you won\u2019t need a museum ticket to stop in for a meal.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the hospitality at George Lucas\u2019 Skywalker Ranch, the restaurant will serve classic American cuisine centered on California-grown,<\/a> seasonal ingredients. The menu includes Dungeness crab cakes, lobster corn dogs, crispy chicken Milanese, honey miso-glazed salmon and a Skywalker Ranch Wagyu burger, alongside house-made pastas, seasonal salads and shareable dishes.<\/p>\n

The space combines contemporary and Midcentury Modern influences, with handcrafted cherry wood panels, softly illuminated white onyx Corian surfaces and a sculptural central bar. There\u2019s also a private dining room with switch-glass walls and an outdoor terrace surrounded by landscaping with panoramic L.A. views.<\/a><\/p>\n

Skywalker Grill will serve lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, and its hours extend beyond the museum\u2019s galleries,<\/a> making it possible to visit for dinner or drinks after spending the day inside.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The museum itself spans 300,000 square feet across five stories, set within an 11-acre campus. Its 100,000 square feet of gallery space will house more than 40,000 works, including illustrations, comic art, children\u2019s book illustrations, science-fiction artwork, murals, movie posters and cinematic artifacts.<\/a><\/p>\n

While general admission is $25 for adults, and children 17 and under enter free,<\/a> there\u2019s also a particularly useful perk for locals: residents of the 90037 ZIP code can qualify for the free LM37 pass,<\/a> which provides free admission for the passholder plus one guest.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skywalker Grill Rendering Credit: Rockwell Group.
