Red Room Wine Bar

"You’d never know from the relaxing atmosphere at Koreatown’s Coffee MCO that the same space flips into a pet-nat party (with no cover) after dark. Red Room is that cafe’s ruby-colored wine bar alter ego, and depending on the night, there’s usually a DJ set, singles mixer, or straight-up dance party happening in this two-story lounge. The lineup (listed on their Instagram feed) changes week to week, but the Salomon and cargo pants crowd of Olympic Boulevard is always here. Expect blasting house music, flowing yuzu highballs, and small plates from rotating chefs doing pop-ups in the kitchen. Be sure to get here early before all the free parking spots in the lot are gone. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins

"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.

"The wine bar will host a pop-up dinner featuring chef Laura Ock, with a menu inspired by her international travels." - Mona Holmes
