Time Out says

Whether you're a Philippe's fan or Cole's believer, the real question is—do you dip? Originators of the French Dip (or at least they claim to be), Cole's sits in the same Downtown location since 1908 when it opened its doors as the city's first public house inside the Pacific Electric railway station. Today, the booze is still flowing—pick your poison amid a selection of classic cocktails and brews on draft—and diners can order up hearty, beef jus-dipped French Dip sandwiches. There are also happy hour (Tue 11am-close; Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 3-7pm) specials at recession prices like $5 well drinks and $5 1/2 dip sandwich plus fries.

Cole’s French Dip Closing Weekend Extravaganza

Last summer, news broke that 118-year-old French-dip destination Cole’s was closing. Since then, its life has been extended more than once by loyal diners, but now, sadly, it seems the time has come for its final weekend of service. To send it off in style, other local food institutions are creating their own collabs to pay homage to Cole’s sandwiches and sides—Jitlada, Father’s Office and Little Fatty on Saturday, and Found Oyster, Bay Cities, Guelaguetza on Sunday, with treats from See’s Candies both days. Each dish will be capped at 118 portions, so we recommend showing up early. Proceeds will benefit the Independent Hospitality Coalition.
