Corkbar is the really AWESOME looking wine bar that just opened up Downtown. It features all California wines and their menu (which is very reasonably priced) looks fantastic!
I can't wait to get down there!! They have a happy hour during the week that is from 4-7 Monday through Friday. $4 pints (oh yeah, they also have artisanal beer) and half-off appetizers!
*sigh* except they served nearly raw risotto... and the portions were beyond miniscule, not to mention the cheese poppers tasted like foam.
ReplyDeleteThe mac & cheese was great. The rest of the food wasn't as memorable. Had a glass of Justin red wine. Interesting atmosphere, but definitely in a bland part of downtown... surrounded by a bunch of parking lots and men with signs. Within walking distance to Staples and LA Live, but not super close. I think the bar is at the base of an apartment complex, but the area needs to develop quite a bit more to entice me. I'd prefer to be closer to Spring and 4th and 5th streets.
ReplyDeleteBut, I applaud the effort! Cool idea and great for people who live and work downtown and want to grab a bite/drink after work. Bit of a random crowd in there, but the waitstaff was attractive.
Oh, we need a place like this in Philadelphia!
