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

Website: https://masaofechopark.com/

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

Location: Malibu

Website: https://malibuseafood.com/

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

Location: Beverly Grove

Website: https://www.instagram.com/escuelataqueria

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

Location: Santa Monica

Website: https://www.chachachicken.com/

Corkage Fee: $0

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

Location: Larchmont

Website: https://www.villagepizzala.com/

Corkage Fee: $25

This grungy, memorabilia-filled pizza parlor is one of our favorite spots for a solid NY-style slice of pizza. Its BYOB policy is just a little icing on the cake.

La Grande Orange Cafe

Location: Pasadena

Website: https://lgostationcafe.com/

Corkage Fee: $10

La Grande Orange Pasadena is housed in the historic 1934 Del Mar Train Station, restored to bring back the original charm of the building. With 3 patios to choose from, home made recipes, and fresh ingredients - you can’t loose!

Tin Roof Bistro

Location: Manhattan Beach

Website: https://www.tinroofbistro.com/

Corkage Fee When You Bring a Bottle From Home: $15 (money is then donated to charity - how sweet!)

Corkage Fee When You Buy a Bottle Next Door: $0

If you’re in the South Bay, Tin Roof Bistro is undoubtedly the move. A fantastic patio, semi-regular bocce ball tournaments, and great food all add up to one of the best places to spend a sunny day.
