Just in time for the 4th of July holiday, the Los Angeles community can once again return to the Malibu coastline to relax, reconnect, and feast on their favorite iconic dishes - because the legendary restaurant Gladstones is back.

Gladstones Malibu Reopens Public Deck After the Fires with a Fresh New Look and Mural by Jonas Never

A beloved and iconic institution for over five decades, Gladstones reopens its public deck on July 4, marking a powerful new chapter in the community's recovery from the devastating Palisades fires. The revival of the restaurant is both a celebration of its legacy and a tribute to the strength and spirit of the local community.

"After everything this community has endured, we hope to offer something simple but meaningful – good food and some good news in a world that needs both," said Jim Harris, Co-owner and General Manager, Gladstones Legacy Group. "This reopening is our way of saying—we're still here, and we're here for you."

To thank the community, Gladstones will be offering 50 percent off food and drinks throughout the month of July to Malibu and Palisades residents, as well as first responders.

The newly remodeled space, designed by award-winning architect Stephen Francis Jones, features a fresh coastal look that blends timeless beach vibes with a contemporary twist. Anchoring the experience, is a large new mural by famed L.A. Street artist Jonas Never, whose work pays homage to local legends, culture, and resilience.

The public deck offers plenty of space for families, locals, and visitors alike to gather by the waves. Guests can enjoy a menu of fan-favorite items, capturing the heart and soul of what has made Gladstones a go-to destination for generations—from its fish tacos, ceviche, lobster rolls and catch of the day, to refreshing cocktails perfect for a Malibu sunset.

Due to the damages sustained during the fires, the team has used this time to begin renovating the indoor space. The renovation is expected to be completed by early 2026, and in the meantime, the newly opened deck remains fully operational.

Since 1972, guests have flocked to Gladstone in Pacific Palisades for breath taking sunsets and seafood-centric dishes. Today, the Gladstones Legacy Group has embarked on a new era with a California fresh approach, enhanced culinary experiences and innovative events, while maintaining its traditional charm.   For more info, Click Here.
