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!

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

        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).

          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.

            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.

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

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

                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.

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

                    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.
