"Not many shops have a better overall selection of wine, beer, and liquor than Hi-Lo in Culver City (and Long Beach). They’ve got a ton of beers from small local spots like Offshoot, Smog City, and Beachwood, along with every kind of wine you can think of (plus a few you can’t). They also put together Spritz Kits, and have all kinds of aperitifs that are ideal for drinking over ice on a hot day - for example, some Campari and a can of soda water makes a damn good summer drink. Pick up some fancy potato chips while you’re here, too." - brett keating
