8 Restaurants in Los Angeles Where You Can BYOB

You might think that in a city as sociable, warm, and patio-centric as LA, bringing a bottle of wine or a 6-pack to your favorite restaurant would be a breeze. However, as most of us know, this is not the case (pun intended ).

So, after reading numerous articles and calling dozens of restaurants, we’ve compiled this list of the 8 best spots in LA where you can BYOB.(It’s the most up to date list you can find online).

Masa of Echo Park

Location: Echo Park

Corkage Fee: $20

This Echo Park standby is one of our favorite family-run spots on the Eastside. They provide Chicago deep-dish style pizza and it’s the perfect place to hang out with friends or go on a low-key date.

Malibu Seafood

Corkage Fee: $0

Malibu Seafood is a fully BYOB restaurant. The tiny seafood shack right on PCH gets swamped on the weekends, but nothing in the world beats a plate of peel-your-own-shrimp after a day at Zuma.

Escuela Taqueria

Lunch Corkage Fee: $25

Dinner Corkage Fee: $45

Amid the hustle of Beverly Grove, Escuela's modest space often goes unnoticed. However, this hip and laid-back Mexican spot continues to impress with its superb (yet affordable )menu.

Cha Cha Chicken

Cha Cha Chicken might be the best BYOB restaurant in LA. It’s a casual, walk-up Caribbean cafe right off the beach in Santa Monica where you can roll in with some friends and a case of beer on a sunny afternoon.

Village Pizzeria
