Bestia alums Zach Negin and Daniel Flores have brought a dynamic yet friendly bar to Thai Town, offering shareable snacks, eclectic by-the-glass wines and craft brews.

Offering a well-curated selection of Champagnes and wines, with something to suit all tastes and budgets, this place in East Hollywood is just what the area needs. Beers are aplenty too, ranging from local favorites like Smog City's Saber Toothed Squirrel to the all-too-classic Miller High Life.

Feeling peckish? Tabula Rasa Bar offers a simple menu brought to life by chef Jessica Wang, who has created simple bar snacks meant for the all-night crowd, including a killer Cubano sandwich.

No bar is complete without the right selection of music, which at Tabula Rasa is pretty fantastic. And the cozy, rich burgundy leather booths as well as subdued lighting make this gritty-yet-inviting space a low-key first date spot.
