West Hollywood, Los Angeles · bar
Ever wondered what it’s like to drink wine in the middle of a secret society gathering? Once a library (and even Charlie Chaplin’s studio, per local lore), the space still wears its bookish soul—walls lined with bottles like overdue novels, a V-shaped marble bar that naturally pitches your gaze to those shelves. The menu leans small—boutique Cali and European wines, sakes, Roman-style pizzas, cheese/charcuterie, tinned fish—and the staff acts like sommelier librarians, coaxing you toward something delicious you’d otherwise never try.
Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
