Verdugo

Owner Ryan Sweeney knows his beer, probably better than anyone else in Los Angeles, so don’t be surprised to find one of the most comprehensive beer collections in the city here, from rare bottles—drink-in or take home—to 22 brews usually not found on tap. Though the aesthetic isn’t especially exciting—a simple wooden bar plus stools sit behind a few loungy tables—the outdoor back patio might be your best bet. Check the bar's Twitter for local food trucks in the mix.
