Looking for a new spot for brunch? Well, you can’t get any newer than LP, the well-appointed new pub at 1137 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. After opening its doors for dinner service in August, the entertainment district’s newest bar and restaurant soft-launched its new weekend brunch menu over Labor Day weekend.

Served on both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., LP’s brunch delivers on a casual brunch experience complete with well-executed-yet-affordable entrees (most of which offer a nod to classic Southern fare) and a drink menu to match.
