The Best Bars In Echo Park - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This low-key wine bar isn't the first option that comes to mind for a big night out in the neighborhood, but that's the reason we love it. Bandini’s dark, narrow space is so stripped-down it looks like it's under construction, yet somehow the mood is always right: weekdays involve chill regulars drinking natural wine and craft beers from the tap and eating simple, tasty bar snacks like olives and cheese. Come weekends, things get livelier, but never to the point where you have to worry about getting a lemon drop thrown in your face. Bandini might be mellow, but it's never boring." - brant cox
