"You want to stay on the westside, but that doesn’t mean you want to interact with the entire UCLA class of 2017 at the Bungalow. For something a little more sophisticated, head to Bodega. This giant wine bar off Lincoln is always full of attractive, young-but-not-that-young groups and couples, and everyone is having a great time. This isn’t the wine bar you come to when you just got dumped and need a dark corner to sit and reflect in. This is the wine bar to catch up with friends and reminisce too loudly on the giant couches by the patio. The wine list is long, the food is better than it needs to be, and their happy hour goes from 5-7pm and then all night after 10pm. You’ll stay here for a few hours longer than you intended - and you won’t be bothered by anyone wearing a fraternity tank." - jess basser sanders, amy clark, brant cox
