Hades Construction builds hospitality venues across Los Angeles — bars, restaurants, lounges and guest-facing spaces where the finish is the product and the opening date is fixed. Completed work includes Rock & Reilly’s at USC Village, Hi Tops in Los Feliz and Angus in Silver Lake.
Hospitality projects are judged on how the room feels, and delivered against a calendar that will not move.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Beshoy, and I am writing to express my sincerest satisfaction with the overall experience and the completion of Rock & Reilly’s USC. We spent almost a year deciding on concepts and designs, and he, spearheading the whole pre-construction process makes it so much easier for us to accomplish everything to move quickly to construction phase.”

Who this is for
Bar and venue operators
Building or rebuilding a guest-facing space where atmosphere, acoustics and service flow decide whether it works.
Hospitality groups
Multiple concepts and locations, with a contractor who can hold a standard while adapting to each building and landlord.
Hotel and property owners
Food and beverage spaces, lobby and amenity areas, and renovations phased around a property that keeps operating.
Hospitality designers
Cost and constructability input while the concept is still moving, and execution of a detailed finish and millwork package.
What hospitality construction turns on
Two approval routes at once
Any venue serving food runs a building permit and a county health review in parallel, and alcohol service and assembly occupancy add their own requirements. A correction on any one of them can hold the opening after the building work is finished.
Kitchen and bar infrastructure
Grease interceptor sizing, gas capacity, exhaust hood CFM and the make-up air to balance it, plus draught systems, glycol runs and bar plumbing. These are the items that most often force a redesign or a landlord negotiation, so they are checked against the real building before pricing.
Acoustics and neighbours
Music, crowd noise and mechanical plant transmit through structure and out through the facade. In mixed-use buildings and near residential, acoustic isolation and plant selection are conditions of operating, not finish preferences.
Assembly occupancy
Occupant load drives exiting, restroom counts, alarm and sprinkler requirements. Converting retail or office space to a venue is where these requirements usually surface, and they belong in the first budget.
The finish is the concept
Millwork, joinery tolerances, lighting, feature ceilings and bar fabrication are what guests actually experience. That work is protected in the programme rather than compressed when the schedule tightens at the end.
Opening date, not completion date
Health sign-off, final inspections, utility releases, alarm and fire tests and the operator’s own fit-out all sit after “construction complete”. Staff training needs the room before the guests do, and that belongs in the schedule.

Common questions
Can you look at a space before we sign the lease?
Yes, and for hospitality it is the highest-value point to involve us. Existing hood, interceptor, gas and electrical capacity, and whether the space can carry your occupant load, all change what the build-out really costs.
Can you renovate a venue that stays open?
Yes. Phased work, temporary partitions and off-hours activity are planned so trading continues where the operator needs it to. It changes the sequence and the price, so it is agreed up front.
Do you handle the health department route?
We coordinate the building and health approval routes and manage inspections through construction. Drawings are stamped and submitted by the design professional of record.
What about noise complaints from neighbours?
Acoustic isolation, plant selection and location, and facade treatment are designed and built to the standard the building and the landlord require, rather than being addressed after the first complaint.
Do you work with our designer?
Yes, routinely. We also deliver design-build where you would rather hold a single contract.
Is a restaurant different from a bar or venue?
The kitchen and health requirements dominate on restaurants; acoustics, occupancy and bar infrastructure dominate on venues. See restaurant construction.
