GCF is my go-to hangout spot in DTLA! I've been there countless times over the last few years and haven't had a bad time once. It's one of those rare places where everything is just done right. Customer service, pricing, wine selection, and ambiance. In LA, it's very hard to "hit for the cycle" when it comes to hospitality. GCF is one of the more lowkey spots that will stay at the top of my list because they do just that. read more

What a cool place tucked away on a part of Olive Street that isn't too crowded and where parking isn't a pain. The wines are unique and affordable and Ian and his staff always know the right one to recommend. In fact, they often open a bottle and "splash" a few people just to share something new. They also have great local beers and ones other bars don't. We loved the small patio. Other outdoor spaces downtown risk having a front row view to some unsightly scene or being interrupted by someone unsavory screaming obscenities. We will definitely be returning to Good Clean Fun to try the food. We had a Great Unpolluted Blast of a time. Thanks Ian : ) read more

First things first let's get all the general stuff out of the way! Parking-there's meter parking all around. It's free after 6pm during the week. Otherwise there are a few lots across the street or next-door that are about $10. They offer indoor and outdoor dining, but I highly recommend outdoor even if it's a little chilly during the LA fall and winter nights they have heaters and blankets plus all the wine will warm you up real quick. Now on to the important details... BEST NATURAL WINE BAR IN ALL OF LA HANDS-DOWN. Service is always amazing everyone that works there is super nice. The owner Ian is by far one of the sweetest restaurant owners I've ever met. He's incredibly knowledgeable on all things wines and good food. He makes you feel like you just walked into his house where he pours you a delicious glass of wine and serves you some of his favorite foods. I'm not super well versed on wine but every time I ask Ian for an orange it's NEVER disappoints. Make sure you take a bottle or two home with you, their retail wine selection is PHENOMENAL. Plus it's a great opportunity to get some really good photo ops, so moody and chic. As far as the food, they use all fresh seasonal ingredients so the menu changes depending on the season. However, the SPICY PEPPERONI PIZZA - Chorizo Pepperoni pizza & the Meaty Bolognese pasta are hands-down my favorite things. I literally crave the pizza at least once a week. I recently had the grilled artichokes and could definitely have those daily. Great, place to pop into before a sporting event or a concert at crypto Arena. Ideal for first date, happy hour with coworkers or a night out with friends. 10/10 music and atmosphere! Epic NYE PARTIES, and you can't miss their anniversary party. If you're visiting downtown or if you live in the area, it's definitely a must place to check out. Can't count the number of times I've been there and I've never had a bad experience. In a city like Los Angeles that's not an easy task. read more

As a dtla resident, I can say with all sincerity that Good Clean Fun is a neighborhood gem. I go for the fairly-priced, tasty and unique natural wine selections around, and stay (and keep returning for) the exceptional service. The co-founder Ian is THE GUY! The coolest, kindest, most face-tatted sommelier you will ever encounter. Every time we stop in, however busy he is, he takes the time to educate us about each glass we're having. The experience always feels personalized and it's what makes it special. Got lots of respect for GCF and what they bring to the community. Everyone come and see for yourself! read more

What a delicious dinner I had here tonight! Went on Yelp searching for pizza & pasta and this place came up on the results list. Do not let the unassuming name of the restaurant fool ya, the food is really good here & you can taste the quality & freshness of the ingredients. I had, to start, a Caesar salad - that must be one of the best I've ever had, burrata with olive oil - the cheese was so soft like butter, pasta al pomodoro - highly recommend, and the spicy pepperoni pizza. Everything we ordered was very flavorful & there's a big selection on drinks/wines. I had a mojito & it was good. Great spot for a date night or casual night out with friends. Oh, and great service too! read more

Love this spot! GCF is right in the heart of downtown and walking distance from tons of other great spots. Great selection of fun wines to buy or sip and Ian, who you'll find popping bottles and saying hello to familiar faces, is the best. There are so many great places to eat and drink downtown, and GCF is one of them for sure! read more

Amazing wine, vibes and service. Food is so good. Great for hanging out with friends. Can't say enough good things

Although this might particularly be related to the amazing food and service, "Parking" is a huge deal to me! I was able to park directly across the street in the parking lot, and I was able to literally look at my vehicle the entire time! I firs sat on the rail inside and had a glass of an "Orange" wine that was delightful! Then moved to a table outside to eat. I had some cooked Oysters in a marinara sauce! Soooooooo good! The wine was so good I bought a bottle and took it home! read more

Great spot. Love the vibes, Caesar and cacio e Pepe. You gotta hang here for the tunes too.

Dope wine, better service and atmosphere. Ian and Ari are the absolute best. Loved the Cacio and drank a crisp white! read more

Went back again, still love! It was a quick meetup so we just did the bread & butter & some beers, but it's the quality of the ingredients and the little touches like the dope ass dishes that make this place stand out. Ian's amazing. He's always kind, accommodating and happy to help (and also around just enough). My friend is super old school and needed a paper menu (and paid in paper money!) Ian was on it! And when he couldn't decide on a beer, Ian asked a couple questions and brought him something he enjoyed! For me, I tried the other Mikkeller, just for the sake of trying it. It was v hoppy and not one I'd get again, but I tried it! I'm team raspberry all the way! The bread. Perfect. Warm, crispy edges, soft center, went great w the butter that was a little salty and perfect. Traveling in Europe helped me appreciate how amazing bread and butter can be when done right. GCF gets that. As I said, their dishes are amazingly cute! Gold 'silverware' and prints and colors that feel springy and a bit Easter like for me. Musics always on point, I sang so many songs as I enjoyed my time there. Also love the ordering system. Everything's on the phone, and unless you're dining w a cave person, no need to touch any pesky paper! Next time I'll do an entree as they all sound amazing! Can't say enough good things. read more

There's places that make places to live special and this is one of them. If you live downtown you know exactly what I'm talking about. Their food, natural wines are the perfect vibe. Every time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

If you're looking for a great natural wine bar in downtown Los Angeles, this is your spot. Excellent food options and really great selection of natural wines. They have the whole spectrum so you can really get ones that are super funky or ones that you wouldn't even expect to be natural. The staff is super friendly knowledgeable, and we had such a great laugh with Ian. Will be back soon! read more

The food is fresh, flavorful and thoughtfully crafted! Service is top notch. Ian was beyond hospitable! Don't get me started on the ambiance. This place is an absolute vibe and one of my new faves! Definitely will return whenever I'm in town! read more

First off, wine selection is kler. The bottle shop is top notch. Service is Great! Thanks Ian! Loved every dish and truly enjoyed my patron dining experience. My friend was so glad that I dragged him there to this hidden gem in the whirlwind which is downtown. Food is top notch and beautifully presented. Next time will make room for dessert. Will be back!!! read more

This rating is merely on my EXPERIENCE there. My coworker talked me into trying this place out and treating myself to dinner, which I never do and also since I am always looking for the next great spot. She even gave me a list of "must try" here. So I did. The outside ambience is cute and dig that they have music playing (blocking out some of the downtown noise). I also love the convenience of being able to order through my phone and paying the bill from there too. Everything sounds great, right? Well I left wanting to cry, out of frustration. I ordered everything I was told was worth trying, the bread and butter, Caesar salad, Cacio E Pepe Bucatini m, the brownie and even got myself a bottle of wine. The bread and butter came out fairly quick. But, I didn't want to over do it with the bread because I was trying to save room for the salad, pasta and dessert. Well, after 45/50 min the salad was still a no show. A SALAD.. and by this time I was ready to call it a night because all I've had was a piece of bread and a glass of wine. I asked if I was able to just get the food packed up to go. So, $107 later and a forced 20% gratuity added to my bill (which is what I do pay, for great customer service and A+ experience) I had to head home and eat a soggy salad and reheat my pasta out of a brown cardboard box. Didn't even get to the dessert. I must say, even after reheating the pasta it was good. I can imagine it being great, once it's fresh off the stove. These unfortunate events did leave a bad taste in my mouth but I am not completely ruling this place out and possibly giving it a second chance. read more

A nice little place for a few cocktails or a glass of wine. The wine selection is interesting. Lots of Austrian red wines to choose from. Food is simple but good. DJ playing and Tattooing happening as well. Like I said, cool little place. Maybe they are trying too hard to be cool? Anyway, I recommend it. read more

Food, service and ambience was excellent! The hand made pizza was out of this planet! Great selections of IPAs! Big thanks to Ian! His customer service experience was outstanding! read more

We stopped in at Good Clean Fun tonight with my parents after we picked them up from the airport. Even though it is a wine bar, they were very accommodating with us showing up with my 17 month old daughter. The service was excellent, and the food/wine was even better. My wife and I got a bottle of cab, my mother got a glass of Pinot Grigio, and my father got a glass of cab. They were all fabulous. They also offered a wine sampling with five 1 oz glasses (we didn't get it, but would next time!) We started with a 4 Cheese Pizza and a Meatlovers Pizza. Both were a great start to the meal. We followed them Up with a Caesar Salad, which was delicious! Flavorful, but not overpowering. Then for entrees we split bolognese pasta, and Caccio e Pepe. They were both flavorful and delicious, but not too heavy. We ended the meal with a dessert that was phenomenal. I wish I could have enjoyed more of it, but my daughter didn't want to share! We are only visiting in L.A, but we will definitely be back when we are back in town! read more

During a recent visit to LA I was searching for a restaurant close to my hotel for dinner and came across Good Clean Fun on Yelp. The space and menu looked appealing and it was only a couple blocks away so I thought I would give it a try. The space itself is cute with a nice outdoor patio area. I sat inside at the bar in the window since I was traveling solo. When I was sat I was informed I scan a QR code and order myself, which honestly after a day of traveling is fine - self service, all good. I ordered their caesar, meatballs and a glass of wine. The caesar, while I love parmesan, was overly smothered with it - just too much. The meatballs were good and the sauce tasty. My challenge with this spot was the service. As soon as I was sat someone was leaving two seats down. His dirty dishes sat there the entire time I was eating, despite staff walking by, and one even adjusted it but didn't move it. Just strange and no one wants to sit next to dirty dishes while they eat. While they checked on me once or twice, when I was clearly finished no one came to clear my plates. I decided to order dessert and added that to my tab. After 15 minutes of waiting one of the servers finally checked on me and when I asked about it he said 'oh, I think we are out of that.' So I sat there for 15 minutes for nothing. No apology was made even after I commented that I'd been sitting there waiting for it for 15 minutes - also on the online ordering the other dessert was marked as sold out, so not sure why this one wasn't but also, a ticket was sent to your kitchen, your staff should've addressed it. At that point I was irritated and was told it would he would take it off my ticket - almost like that was a nice gesture, but for an item I didn't receive? I finally departed, with my dirty dishes still sitting there and in the end never received a refund for the dessert I didn't receive. My other staff complaint, they were clearly just hanging out on the side in the wine area chatting and not being attentive to their patrons. Literally just a few feet away from the gentleman who had left upon my arrival dirty dishes completely ignoring them. I think the location and food have potential but it's clearly poorly managed. Would not visit again. read more

Been here a handful of times and every time it's a win! Food is amazing, quickly seated, amazing wine and wine cocktails and dj's sometimes (myself included) that play great music . Perfect place to start your night with drinks and food before heading out to dance or see a concert! read more

Absolutely love this place! They have an incredible happy hour, great drinks, and great food. Ive been almost once a week for awhile now bc it's the perfect place to bring a friend, coworkers, or honestly just to work/study. It's a coffee shop before a certain time. They have WiFi and are pretty computer friendly! The patio is also heated. The staff is so nice, attentive, and personable. Cannot recommend this place night read more

Good Clean Fun - Chicken Caesar - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Strolled by this trendy natural wine shop and bar and ordered a wine flight which comes with five samples starting with Prosecco, to white, to orange, to Rose, to red. The types of wine change by the week. Each was refreshing, tasty, and had a good aroma. The shop is situated along Olive Street in DTLA. You can enjoy the ambiance inside or outside along the sidewalk. The service was good as I was acknowledged as soon as I entered the shop and was greeted by a server and explained how to scan the QR code on trendy wine bottles seated on the tables to order. Never had orange wine before but it was definitely my favorite! I recommend checking this place out. read more

100000/ 10!!! I would eat here every day if I could. My friend raved about the Caesar salad saying it's the best she's ever had..which I thought was dramatic because who raves about a salad lol BUT when I tasted it was LEGIT BEST Caesar salad I've ever had. We also got the Cacio e pepe pasta dish which was so creamy & delicious I felt like I was back in Italy. And the Spicy pepperoni pizza was soooo good. Great wine selection as well. To top it all off the service was amazing! Our host was a charming & funny guy. And the ambiance is perfect for a date or girls night. I can't wait to go back. Instantly on my top fave LA restaurant bars. You won't regret it. Plus $10 parking across the street after 3pm! read more

I really appreciate that this place always has something unique and that the selection changes. I like to always try new things and this place fits the bill. Today I tried a salty watermelon beer that I didn't expect to like but I loved it. Service is very laid back.

Their food is good. Slow service. We waited and hour and 20 minutes to get or last item. All of my family's order came out at different times, far apart from each other. They didn't even notice that i finished eating my small sized pasta, and were sitting there with annoyed faces waiting for our other food. Not so great. read more

Tried GCF for a 'meet the winemaker' event. It was truly a fantastic night! The winemaker, Kyle Knapp, from Press Gang Cellars was so kind and his wines were incredible. The service and energy of GCF were great!! The food was really really really good! Mole grilled cheese...don't mind if I do. Oysters, Cacio e Pepe (w/truffle) ... oh my! I stayed out way too late and drank too much wine. It was a fun night! read more

** 5 stars all around for Good Clean Fun! ** My hubby and I stopped by on a rainy Wednesday evening with reservations and had the absolute best time. We were seated right away for dinner by Ian, who also served us for the night. We came here for the natural wines, but we were blown away by the entire dining experience. For dinner, we ordered: 1. White Bean Hummus; 5/5 A play on Mexican meets Mediterranean hummus, this played with our tastebuds in a very good way. Their pitas are also homemade which was a bonus. Loved the texture of the sprinkled peptitas! Great way to start our dinner! 2. Caesar Salad with a Lil Heat : 4/5 This was a twist on the classic ceasar salad -- instead of romaine lettuce, Chef used brussel sprouts, croutons and a delightful caesar dressing. 3. Meatballs: 5/5 This dish was to die for and definitely a must try! Ground lamb, molé salsa, and an herbasceous yogurt cilantro. It was the perfect balance between Mexican and Mediterranean fusion and we are here for it! 4. Gooey Molé Grilled Cheese: 4/5 During our visit, we learned that the partners (Ian and Arie) used to have a grilled cheese food stand up in Oregon so this was likely an ode to the grilled cheese sandwiches they used to make. Tasty and comforting. Could have used a little more cheese and depth of flavor. But the bread was on point and the side of pickles jalapeños were a nice touch. 4. Lamb Ragù: 5/5 Perfectly coated in a ground lamb red sauce, this pasta was packed full of flavor. One of our favorite dishes of the night for sure. A must order! 5. Peppermint Chocolate Creme Brûlée: 5/5 We're not a big on chocolate when it comes to desert and would usually opt for the fruit-forward desserts but this one was really special. Very high quality chocolate and a perfectly caramelized cane sugar topping. Perfectly paired with a natural Malbec wine. Such a showstopper. And of course, the natural wines paired so beautifully with each dish, and if anything, were on par and synergized so well with our dinner. Ian was an excellent host and showed us a great time on our first visit and made us want to come back again very soon! We absolutely love the concept of Good Clean Fun and we look forward to seeing how they expand. Shoutout to Arie and Marina for making our night memorable as well. We'll definitely be back! If you're looking for a down right good meal paired with a good bottle of natural wine (or flight of natural wines, which we highly recommend) look no further. Hit up Good Clean Fun and support your local natural wine bar/restaurant. You will no be disappointed! We'll see you soon GCF! read more

Listen, I really had high hopes and was really excited for this place. Customer service was great. Ambiance was chill. Great music. Love the fact that there was a huge selection of beers and wines. However, the food was a disappointment. We ordered the pesto pasta and meatballs. -Pesto Pasta- No flavor. It tasted like I was eating a handful of unsalted trail mix -Meatballs- the texture of the meat was rubbery and EXTREMELY SALTY! I had to drink an entire bottle of water just to wash it down Unfortunately, I will never come back here read more

my wife and i are regulars and come (usually) a couple times a month + we are wine club members because we love this spot so much--this is a wine bar that i feel has great food, great wine, and great vibes... usually wine bars don't hit all three for us! ian (one of the owners) is super friendly + attentive and always makes sure we're taken care of!! his recommendations are always great as well. he doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions and is always happy to make recs, etc. the pizza is insanely good, almost to the point where i want to gatekeep it. BUT the good folks here deserve all the hype! the wine selection is great, the happy hour is actually insane ($5 spritzes?!), overall just a great pick. read more
