The 17 Best Wine Bars In Los Angeles

"Koreatown’s Coffee MCO is a cafe by day, and a neon-hued natural wine bar by night. Its nocturnal alter ego is known as the Red Room. Every Thursday through Saturday, the Salomon and cargo pants crowd of Olympic Blvd. piles in for a glass of something fizzy and funky. The wine list is on the smaller side which makes choosing a bottle less daunting, and the staff will gladly pour you taste until you find something you like. Aside from natty wine, the Red Room has yuzu highballs and small plates from rotating chefs doing pop-ups. You can pretty much expect this two-floor wine spot to be packed after 7pm—check their Instagram before you arrive to see if they’re hosting a DJ set, singles mixer, or dance party.
