Highlights of The Bloc
The Bloc is a place of cultural interaction as well as thoughtfully diverse shopping. Many come just for the dining experience, whether to enjoy one of the coffee bars, an international twist on cuisine, fruity yoghurt, or locally sourced ingredients. The Bloc has a draft house as well.
Each holiday season, The Bloc shines with a massive light display that shows off the artistic expressions of city centre LA. The magic of the sparkling lights is free to enjoy, and pets are welcome. The cinema in The Bloc is much more than your average theatre, as you are treated to a full menu of food and drinks.
