The Best Wine Bars in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Downtown’s Good Clean Fun is dedicated to natural wines, but this isn’t a typical wine bar. Sippers might find a DJ spinning while locals stop by for seasonal white pesto rigatoni with mussels, pasta pomodoro, or a $15, three-glass wine flight every Wednesday." - Eater Staff

Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week | Eater LA

"The vibe here leans house-party warm rather than Downtown happy hour, and the $15 natural wine flight of five generous pours on Wednesdays is incredible; the food complements the drinks—the tomato and seasonal fruit salad with burrata, spicy lemon-lime honey, almonds, mint, and Thai basil felt bright, balanced, and celebratory of the season." - Eater Staff

LA’s New Proof of Vaccination Mandate for Restaurants Begins Today | Eater LA

"I spoke with Ian Asbury, owner of Good Clean Fun in Downtown LA, who says staff should be patient and frame vaccine checks as a government mandate — not his policy — urging employees to 'be nice' and keep politics out of enforcement; he acknowledges worries about lost revenue but feels compelled to listen to scientists and prioritize safety." - Farley Elliott

Good Clean Fun - Review - Downtown LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Good Clean Fun is a new natural wine bar and restaurant in Downtown LA, ideal for both long and short hangs. It’s a pretty customizable experience, with a lengthy wine, beer, and sake list (filled with cute names like “Art & Science Fruit pet nat” or “Swick WYD? Chardonnay”) if you’re just looking to sip something quickly then bounce. But if you, half-way through, remember how much you and your college roommate get along, there’s also a compact Italian-leaning food menu to order from. We like the pasta bucatini with red sauce, which comes with super thick noodles and goes well with white wine and gossiping about mutual friends." - Kat Hong

French-Leaning NYC Vanguard Wine Bar Emerges as New Downtown Contender | Eater LA

"An East Coast wine bar with French leanings and four Manhattan locations is opening on Olive Street between 8th and 9th, adjacent to a local craft-beer bar. It favors dim lighting, relatively inexpensive glasses of wine, marble countertops, and simple French fare ranging from charcuterie to caviar and tartes to macarons. The owner, Stefan Mailvaganam, has secured an ABC license and expects the new location to open by next spring; the menu will lean more into California wines alongside French selections and keep a broadly European food focus with added local flavors, intended to broaden downtown LA's wine scene." - Farley Elliott

Good Clean Fun isn’t just a wine bar, it’s a Downtown institution. Ian and his team have cultivated something truly special: a space that consistently delivers exceptional natural wines, beautifully fresh food, and an atmosphere that feels effortlessly joyful. What sets GCF apart is its reliability in delight. I’ve celebrated birthdays here, lingered on date nights, raised toasts at farewell parties, attended themed Good Clean Fun events, and each visit has been a masterclass in hospitality. The wine is always exciting and thoughtfully curated, the food is bright, seasonal, and satisfying, and the energy? Unfailingly warm and convivial. Ian’s passion for what he does is infectious. He’s not just pouring wine , he’s telling stories, sharing discoveries, and creating community. It’s this blend of curiosity and care that keeps the experience fresh while always feeling like home. Thank you GCF, for being my go-to for great wine, great company, and creating greater memories.

We were staying at level and saw this gem next door. This was one of the best dinners we've had in a while. The crasar salad was the best we ever had, wine was spot on, meatballs were tasty. Everything we got was so well-balanced, flavorful, and the service was the best aspect. We will come here everytime!

First and Foremost, I love Ian. He taught me everything I know about natural wine! I stumbled into this wine bar out of curiosity, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the city—and was a regular until I moved to Portland. Ian even let me host my going away dinner here. The wine selection is outstanding: an ever-changing, thoughtful assortment that goes beyond the usual bottles you’ll find elsewhere. Whether you’re a wine nerd or just getting into it, this is a place where you can discover something new every time. What really makes it special is the staff. They’re not just knowledgeable—they genuinely care about sharing that knowledge in a welcoming, down-to-earth way. Ian, the owner, is incredible. He’s the reason I know anything about natural wine now. His passion is contagious, and he’s always happy to break things down or suggest something based on my taste.

This spot just gets it. Every time I come through, there’s something new on the menu that makes me fall in love with natural wine all over again. If you’re into skin contact, funky bottles, or just curious about what’s beyond the basic stuff, this is the place you wanna be. What really makes it hit though is Ian. He’s not only holding it down with an amazing selection, but the way he runs this business is inspiring. He makes you feel welcome, breaks things down without any snobbery, and really puts you on to what you’re drinking. That kind of passion and care is rare, and it shows in the whole vibe of the place. LA has a lot of wine bars, but this one feels different — authentic, community-driven, and just fun. Whether you’re pulling up to learn, sip, or hang out, you’re gonna leave happy and probably with a new favorite bottle.

From the moment you step in, you can feel the vibrant atmosphere at Good Clean Fun. This place serves a wide variety of wine, plus other drinks such as beer if you're like me who enjoys both. The owner, Ian, and the rest of his staff are super knowledgeable about the types of wine they have. And on top of that, their food is delicious. Definitely get some pizzas to share with your group. Been here a few times now and will be back again!
