"Your best friend from childhood flies out of LAX at 6:30pm and wants to grab one more drink outside without enduring 200% humidity. Grab a table at Venice Beach Wines. The tiny wine bar on Rose Ave. doesn’t have the most expansive wine list you’ve ever seen, but it’s still solid, with a great front patio and a cheese/charcuterie situation we’ll happily get involved with. Happy Hour runs from 3 to 6pm and gets you $8 glasses of wine, $6 draught beer, and a lot of discounted food." - brant cox
