Cheap Wine Bar?

We just moved here from Brooklyn and we miss wine bars with $5 glasses. There's gotta be someplace in LA that's not $9 or $10 a glass. We'd love to find a place with inexpensive tapas too. We live on the Eastside but suggestions from all over are welcome!

  1. the closest thing i can think of is barbrix on hyperion. not quite $5/glass, but they have a few $6-$7/glass wines and i've usually been pretty impressed with their selection. they also have a pretty reasonably priced small plates menu.

      1. What about the San Antonio Winery? They have not just their wines but a world-wide selection.

        1. PS - and we've missed it now but the best wine tasting is at the LA County Fair. You may want to bring your own glass.

            1. The Must in downtown has a good selection of affordable wines by the glass, with a few in the $5-6 range

                1. re: Ernie

                  yes, the must is a good one. parking will prolly be an issue though.

                  • Lou Wine Bar in Hollywood has Tuesday night flights for $14. And Silverlake Wine does a few different tastings a week for even less than that.

                    Salute in Santa Monica has a daily happy hour from 5:30-7:30.

                      1. El Prado on Sunset Blvd in Echo Park: http://elpradobar.com/
                        Bacaro, S. of downtown near USC: http://www.bacarola.com/

                        Both have well-chosen by-the-glass lists that change daily, and start at $5-6/glass. Bacaro also has a nice happy hour deal w. $5 small plates.

                        Plus, both have kind of a Brooklyn feel; neither would be out of place in Carroll Gardens or Greenpoint.

                          1. Check out 4th Street Vine, on the so-called Retro Row in Long Beach. They pour a generous glass of wine (not just a taste) for $3 every Thursday. Each week they have one white and one red for that price. Other wines are available at typical prices ($8-10).

                              1. Haven't been there yet myself and I think the name is dorky, but this place looks like it may fit your requirements.
