"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." - brant cox, arden shore, sylvio martins
"East Hollywood’s local wine bar Tabula Rasa is back open with an astroturfed patio and all-new heat lamps, ideal for the winter that seems to be upon us. Their wine list is tremendous and very well-priced, and they secretly have one of the best Cubanos around." - brett keating
"Tabula Rasa in East Hollywood is one of our favorite wine bars in LA. There’s a fantastic selection of biodynamic wines, a good craft beer list, plus a rotating menu of excellent bar snacks (if you see the Cubano, get it). It had been operating primarily as a to-go wine shop during the pandemic, but has recently reopened for both patio and sidewalk seating. They’re open every day starting at 2pm, with food service beginning at 5pm." - brant cox
"A wine bar in East Hollywood, Tabula Rasa started doing wine to-go early in quarantine, and they’re continuing to do so after opening back up. Their selection covers all kinds of tastes: From classically produced reds to natural orange options, from California to France, Spain, Eastern Europe, and Australia, and from $8 cans to $180 bottles. They’ve also got some good beer on tap that they serve in growlers, like a Belgian quad from Mumford Brewing, and Macleod’s Deal With The Devil IPA." - brett keating
"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
