DTLA, Los Angeles · bar
Wood‑lined and low‑lit, this snuggly tin‑fish and bubbles bar feels like a Venn diagram between your favorite wine hideout and a curated pantry. Tins from Spain and Portugal (octopus, mackerel, anchovy) are popped tableside, paired with bright Muscadet, draft cider or Champagne‑doused cheese just like they do at DTLA Cheese next door. A handful of communal wood slabs, a tiny outdoor patio and staff who actually geek out about briny provenance make it easy to duck in solo or bring a few friends when you’re feeling fancy‑casual.
Langres, a washed-rind French cow's milk cheese with a dimpled top, served with Champagne
Portuguese squid cooked in its own ink. Briny and rich.
Quality tinned sardines served with bread and lemon.
Spanish octopus, slow-cooked tender, with paprika and olive oil.
