Beverly Hills Restaurants Launch World Cup 2026 Culinary Goals Programme This June

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., May 29, 2026 — The Beverly Hills World Cup Dining 2026 Conference and Visitors Bureau has launched Culinary Goals, a citywide dining programme running from June 12 to July 10 across Beverly Hills hotels and restaurants, timed to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup and designed to bring globally inspired dishes and specialty cocktails to some of the city's most iconic dining rooms throughout the tournament.

The programme draws participation from a broad cross-section of Beverly Hills' hospitality establishments, from the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel to the rooftop at SIXTY Beverly Hills, each creating original menus and cocktails that reflect the global geography of the World Cup field rather than defaulting to a generic sports bar format. Further information is available at lovebeverlyhills.com.

The programme sits alongside a parallel run of World Cup-themed programming at Lawry's Restaurants, a first-year anniversary celebration at Lucia on Fairfax, and the return of the annual Barnsdall Fridays Wine Nights series, making early June one of the busiest periods for Los Angeles area dining programming in recent memory.

What Beverly Hills Restaurants Are Offering During the Culinary Goals Programme

Viviane Restaurant at Avalon Beverly Hills will run a daily Appetizers of the World happy hour from 3 to 5 p.m. featuring hanger steak sliders, Asian salad crispy rice, and rotating specialties. At Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, a Four Seasons Hotel, CUT Lounge will host World Cup viewing parties with stadium-style seating reconfigured from the room's existing furniture, serving elevated bar food including steak frites and Wagyu sliders alongside rotating themed cocktails throughout the tournament.

Two-time James Beard Award finalist Chef Cleophus "Ophus" Hethington will debut new additions alongside Lucia's established signatures including the Wagyu beef patty and jerk lamb shank.

Barnsdall Fridays Wine Nights Return for 17th Year

The 17th annual Barnsdall Fridays Wine Nights begin May 29 and run through September 11, held every Friday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Barnsdall Art Park, atop Olive Hill at Hollyhock House, Los Angeles' only UNESCO World Heritage Site, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. General admission is $55, covering four glasses of wine from Silverlake Wine alongside a rotating lineup of local food trucks and DJ performances. A limited number of $90 tickets provide after-hours access to the historic Hollyhock House through interior tours. All proceeds support arts programming and preservation at the park, with this year's fundraising considered particularly significant given proposed budget and staffing cuts to the city's Department of Cultural Affairs. Tickets are available at barnsdall.org. Barnsdall Art Park is located at 4800 Hollywood Blvd.
