"Anybody who’s tried to drive down Venice Boulevard in Culver City at 5pm knows what pain is. So pull over, grab a glass of wine and some food at Stanley’s, and let everybody else rip their hair out. This hybrid spot is more of a wine shop than anything else, but the tiny bar right off the entrance is a pleasant place to post up with a glass of Chardonnay and decadent toasts topped with everything from white bean pate to pheasant terrine. Happy Hour runs from 3-6pm on weekdays (plus all day on Tuesdays) and gets you $10 glasses of wine and a $19 charcuterie board." - Brant Cox
