Hello west coast BAers, In town from the Midwest for a few days and looking for a good bottle shop to pick up some west coast rarities to bring back to the Midwest. Recs appreciated! Also brewery recs welcome for the area. Thanks
Firestone Walker is in Venice. They have vintage bottles for sale there. Been a minute since I’ve been there, but I always found it to have pretty good food too.
Blackbeard’s in Westwood and beverage warehouse in Culver City are the two I can think of. Maybe BevMo on Lincoln in marina del rey
Second blackbeards , plus an excuse to go to japan town on Sawtell and eat ramen or sushi and look around.
Blackbeards is very good. They recently had Moonraker, just got some De Garde, and overall always have something interesting to show. FW is very good for, well, FW.
