La Fe

La Fe flips the lighter digs of Ostrich Farm into a wine bar that feels like you’re in an old movie with Vaseline on the lens. It slots in well with its neighbors, threading the needle between an elevated locals’ experience and wanton gentrification. Beyond a well-curated wine selection, bartenders deftly mix up house cocktails as well as classics with a reverence that never feels pretentious. The Dreamy Boy balances gin with florals and earthy sumac while the Dulcinea satisfies a sweet tooth without being cloying. Once the sun sets, a romantic vibe fills the bar, but plush stools and a wall-length booth invite groups to carve out their own spaces. You can snack on Mediterranean bar bites in the evening or swing by for a light Sunday brunch with specialty cocktails to soothe any hangover.
