"This new-old Eagle Rock aperitivo bar, in a historic building, is the sort of watering hole where one could easily transition from afternoon to evening. Claim one of the red leather booths and start easy with a Venetian spritz and then work through the menu to an espresso martini made with mezcal. Or peruse the lists of amari and vermouths for low-proof options to draw things out. Groups of friends can toast 50/50 shots such as the Ferrari with Fernet and red bitters." - Caroline Pardilla
