"Seco is the size of an apartment but jam-packed with wannabe art directors who all smell like Santal 33, split their time between Silver Lake and Lisbon, and are secretly hoping to glimpse Emma Chamberlain eating an olive. It’s one of the only bars in town with a scene spilling out onto the sidewalk, and is the place to go if you want a true 2025 LA experience: sharing oxygen with someone moderately internet famous. Reservations can be made for the dining room, but most people just walk in—standing around nonchalantly with a glass of chilled red is canon here." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
