About this location
The split schedule tells the story: coffee and grab-and-go run 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., while the full dining room doesn't open until 7 a.m., so an early departure gets counter service only, not table service. Terminal 1's second Rock & Brews location shares the departures strip with Ace Cerveceria & Tacos and Betcha Burgers & Bar, and its rock-and-roll theme and full breakfast menu set it apart from the taco- and burger-focused neighbors. With one sibling elsewhere at LAX, this is the version to use if a sit-down breakfast before boarding matters more than a quick order.
