Where can one get great beer and veggie food in DTLA?

A request from a Facebook friend:

Hey Caroline,

A friend I’ve known since 5th grade, but haven’t seen since high school is coming to town next week, staying at the Bonaventure. I need a reco for a cool restaurant bar within walking distance of the BV with vegetarian/pescatarian options and a killer beer list. It’ll be on a Friday, and I don’t want to have to shout at her. A tall order, I know. This is why I come to the master.

Cheers,
Kevin

Hey there, I don’t know of a place that fits that description within walking distance of the Bonaventure. There’s that Bonaventure Brewing Company, which is located on the 4th floor of the BV Hotel. I haven’t been there before but they appear to have some fish options: https://www.bonaventurebrewing.com/dinner.php as well as beer.

And there’s the Library Bar which is a little further away on 6th and Hope. I love that they carry Craftsman there. Only thing is that it can get loud in there and the service is spotty. Good food though.

You are *awesome*! thank you thank you. If I were willing to drive a short distance, would that open up any stellar options?

Have you tried the Edison?

thanks again

Hmm, I’d say Wurstkuche in the Arts District.

As for the Edison, that will be a CF on Friday unless you go before 9 or 10. Love it there though. Great cocktails. Also, you have to dress up.

You are a genius!

Hey Caroline,

Just dropping by to say thanks. Wurstkuche was *perfect!* My friend and I both loved it. Thanks again,

Kevin

Oh, awesome. I LOVE Wurstkuche! Glad it hit the spot.
