Nothing says Hollywood wine bar quite like a strip mall location and a plate of bacon. But that’s precisely what you’ll indulge in at this hidden gem, and where you’ll find Lou. The locally renowned Pig Candy — house-made, thick-cut bacon coated in brown sugar — will make you squeal with delight. Wine-friendly small plates dominate the menu, from pâté to a charcuterie and artisanal cheese plate. Other offerings include macaroni and cheese, lentil stew, and a variety of salads.
Beer and wine available. Serving dinner until late-night Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
"Still, on cool nights there may be nothing better than a plateful of the pig candy made with Lou’s house-smoked bacon, a bowlful of olives and a glass of organic Côtes du Luberon."
— Jonathan Gold, LA Weekly
“Lou is something unique in Los Angeles, a haven for anybody who loves wine and values conversation over a headbanging soundtrack.”
