LOS ANGELES — The owner of Boulevard Gastropub said he always had to leave the city of Compton to get a full-service, scratch-made meal.

He created the restaurant himself to boost the local economy and offer something new to his neighbors. It is now considered to be the first gastropub in Compton serving craft burgers, beer, wine, and more.

It is at 4309 E Compton Boulevard, Compton, CA 90221.
