According to public filings, a concept named Condorita is seeking an alcohol license for a location on Silver Lake Boulevard in Los Angeles.
The application lists the address as 1639 Silver Lake Blvd. Public records connect the operator, Condorita LLC, to two individuals: Dustin James Lancaster and Tyler Coleman Bell, both of whom own El Condor, a bar that announced it would close by November 1 at 3701 Sunset Blvd.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Blade, Lancaster said the owners had to give up the lease due to rising prices in the neighborhood. However, he also highlighted how meaningful the community’s response to the closure announcement had been.
“The outpouring of love from the community when we announced we were closing has been astonishing, and really, it’s so, so impactful to feel that this restaurant and bar have meant so much.”
What Now Los Angeles reached out to Lancaster, listed as a member and manager of Condorita LLC, to ask about the plans for the Silver Lake address and whether the business is connected to El Condor. However, he did not respond before press time.
The question comes as El Condor’s website displays a notice reading, “NESTING UNTIL SPRING 2027. WATCH THIS SPACE!”
The available records and website information do not confirm whether Condorita represents a new concept, a successor to El Condor, or a separate operation.
