Bar Besito

On our list of the best wine bars in Los Angeles.

Tapas from the people behind Botanica pack this Silver Lake bar most nights, with warm lighting over a room built for standing at the bar with a small plate in hand. Conservas, croquetas de jamon y manchego, grilled prawns in smoky oil, and pan con tomate over charred bread run alongside a drink list heavy on vermouth, Basque cider, and sherry. Reservations are available but walk-ins fill the room just as often, and the kitchen runs a separate midday service from noon to 3.
