ABOUT US
At GBOD Hospitality Group, we’re here to flip the script on dining and nightlife. Forget the ordinary — we deliver experiences so bold, they’ll keep you coming back for more.
It all started in 2012 with Mezé Greek Fusion, the Gaslamp Quarter’s original flavor bomb. Brothers Raymond and Patrick Davoudi lit the spark, and hospitality powerhouse Joe Santos joined the crew to take GBOD from Gaslamp legend to national disruptor.
We’re all about turning up the energy and keeping things unexpected. Whether it’s the speakeasy allure and killer cocktails at Prohibition Lounge, the no-holds-barred attitude of El Chingon Bad Ass Mexican, or the soul-soaked Cuban vibes of Havana 1920, our venues are unapologetically bold, delicious, and just a little rebellious.
2023 was just the start of our takeover — with El Chingon and La Chingona making noise in Fort Worth and Italian staples Bencotto and Monello flexing in Little Italy. Up next? Even bigger plans to disrupt the dining and nightlife scene coast-to-coast.
We’re all about bringing bold ideas to life — from designing killer spaces and crafting unforgettable menus to fine-tuning operations, training teams, and fueling growth. If you’re looking to launch, expand, or elevate your game, we’re the ones to call.
Come for the flavor. Stay for the vibe. Watch us redefine hospitality — one unforgettable experience at a time.
