"You’re obviously excited that you booked that Nike print campaign, but you also have zero interest in a never-ending bar crawl. Grab your always-home roommate and go to Bar Covell. This wine bar in Los Feliz is one of those rare places where wine snobs and people who put ice cubes in their chardonnay co-exist and have a great time. There’s no wine list to speak of. Instead, you describe what kind of wine you’re in the mood for, and they’ll pour you tastes until you land on one you like. It’s unpretentious, lively, and you’ll also probably be home by 10pm." - brant cox
