Verdugo Bar

The Verdugo Bar has a really nice patio and a diverse and interesting beer menu filled with things that are a little hard to find. I remember going there for LA Beer Week a few years ago and drinking more than my fair share of barley wine, which is still beer, by the way—it’s just called wine because it’s super strong. Sometimes on weekends, food trucks park right off the patio from 7 to 10. I like to get a grilled cheese and play dominoes outside with friends.
