The Lawry’s operated Five Crowns Restaurant, modeled on an English country inn, has been around for many years and they have decided to do a refresh and turn their bar into a gastropub named “Side Door”. It is located in Corona del Mar, south of Newport Beach in Orange County, and has taken off above expectations in the last six months. Avocado mash, gravlox and prime rib chili are some of the more interesting choices on the menu that also includes a wide selection of beer and wine. According to Lawry’s CEO, Side Door’s beverage sales exceed food sales, which is an amazing first for them, in their long history of operating restaurants.
