Tabula Rasa Bar

"Tabula Rasa in Thai Town is really just a stripped-down place to drink beer, sake, and wine on a Tuesday. That said, the tiny space is still warm and welcoming, and aside from live jazz nights on the last Sunday of the month, the place usually stays quiet. They have a huge wine list, and a good Cubano in case you get hungry." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park

" Tabula Rasa is the anti-wine bar wine bar. There's probably a live band in the corner of this industrial space in East Hollywood and most people inside will be talking about Moby’s free meditation album and not the malbec they’re currently holding. But you can still expect great wine, along with a solid beer list and a snacks menu that has no business being as delicious as it is. " - nikko duren, brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins

"It’s a fact of life that wine will always set the mood. But some wine bars (the stuffy ones) have a tendency to kill it. Not Tabula Rasa. This casual spot keeps things cool in an unpretentious industrial space in Thai Town. The wine features a variety of natural whites, reds, sparklings, and oranges, and their draft beer selection is quite solid as well. If you’re looking for something to snack on, you should order the Cuban sandwich, plus a salami board, just to be safe. " - nikko duren, sylvio martins

"If the words “non-pretentious wine bar” sound like an oxymoron to you, head to Tabula Rasa. As soon as you walk into this stripped-down space in Los Feliz, you’ll immediately know that this isn’t the kind of place where you have to pretend to know what “mouth feel” is. It’s calm and laid-back, plus they have a really solid beer, wine, and snacks menu (get the Cubano sandwich). As Hannah Montana would say, it’s the best of both worlds." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating

"Tabula Rasa Bar and Shop is a bar owned by Zach Negin, featuring a curated list of craft beers, wines, and a menu of cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks." - Dianne de Guzman
