"Iconic green roadside diner Patrick’s Roadhouse, adorned with kitsch and constantly celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, closed in Santa Monica. The restaurant’s owner, Anthony Fischler, is attempting to renegotiate a long-term lease with the building’s landlord but needs $250,000 to cover back rent and building maintenance, which he hopes to raise on GoFundMe. The celebrity-favorite diner opened in 1973." - Eater Staff
"Open since 1973, Patrick’s Roadhouse is impossible to miss along PCH. Spot the leprechaun green building and pull-in for an all-day menu that showcases eggs with traditional or truffle hashbrowns, a fish burger, or ask for the dish (and story) behind Patrick’s regular Arnold Schwarzenegger." - Eater Staff
