If you're in Highland Park -- or even just passing through -- do not skip Highland Park Wine. It's…read moreone of those spots that locals kind of want to keep to themselves but end up telling all their friends about anyway. It's tucked into this little complex that honestly just keeps getting better: you've got Hippo for dinner, Triple Beam for casual pizza, Go Get Em Tiger for coffee, and Kitchen Mouse just around the corner. The vibe is relaxed but thoughtful -- kind of like the shop itself. The wine selection here is so good. It's not just the usual suspects -- they've got bottles you probably haven't seen before, but everything feels really well-picked, never pretentious. Prices? Super fair. And on top of that, there's sake, craft beer, spirits, and even some great non-alcoholic options for your dry Jan that actually feel exciting. It's clear someone put a lot of care into building this place. Also, shoutout to the team -- every single staff is warm, helpful, and actually seems stoked to help you find something you'll love. That energy makes such a difference. And yeah -- there's even a parking lot, which in Highland Park? That alone is a win. Before you leave, do not forget to check the fridge. If there's a chilled bottle of Meinklang Mulatschak in there, grab it. Trust me. Take it to a pool day or a park hang -- it's the kind of wine that tastes even better in the sun, and you're gonna be glad you brought it. Cheers!

I've come here to purchase refreshing sparkling yuzu drinks on a hot day, I've bought affordable Japanese whiskeys curated from small-batch distilleries, and I've been in several times to look at the cute and useful things they have along the corners of their store. It's a hidden gem and it's worth checking out. Free parking available for two hours on weekends. Located conveniently next to "Go Get Em Tiger" and the restrooms. Definitely visit them after heading to Smorgasburg LA on Sundays.

What a friendly local bar and a great place to catch sports. I watched one of the World Cup…read moresemi-final games here and it was the perfect destination. Hungary didn't make it to the World Cup this year so that was a bit of a bummer, considering my fam is from the old country. However, my second all-time fave, France, was still in the semi-finals. You see, I grew up watching Zinedine Zidane and to me, the World Cup brings back childhood memories and family bonding time. The menu items took me back in time. Much to my surprise, I noticed that there was a Hungarian kielbasa & a Debreziner sausage listed on their $10 lunch deal. I was shocked that I had the opportunity to debate over which one to pick. DEBREZINER sausage (in German) or for us Hungarians, is better known as "Debreceni Virsli" and made in the region where my dad's side of the fam grew up. It's often served cut up on the sides and has a richer color. For me, it's a bit juicier and there's more paprika in there. It's more along the lines of chorizo, if that's what your flavorbuds prefer. It's made with sweet and hot paprika, garlic, pepper, and marjoram. If my dad had been with me that day, he'd opt for the Debreziner. After deliberating for a bit, I decided to go with the HUNGARIAN KIELBASA and decked it out with grilled onions, sauerkraut, and jalapeños (very hot, stated the menu). The jalapeños rivaled the outside 100+ degree temperature. Thankfully, the cool AC made me forget it was one sweltering summer's day. Also, the Hibiscus Cider was crisp and made my experience and the lackluster game worth my time out. I loved how easy the ordering went-just tap the menu on the iPad and voila, you got the whole spiel. Service was quick and felt welcoming like I was at home in someone's living room with tons of TVs all around. Sadly, France didn't show up to play in the game until the last 5 mins or so. Spain obvi deserved the win and yes, this year's cup for their fancy footwork. The vibe was great and the crowd around me were locals on a first name basis with the staff. With awesome cider and food as tasty as I had growing up at home, I think I'll make it a goal to be on a first name basis around here during the NHL & NFL season.

We…read moredropped by for lunch yesterday since we were in the area and were there right when they opened lol. Greeted by the loveliest staff, shoutout to Zel, absolute sweetheart and she KNOWS her beer!! Love how knowledgeable she was! They have a small parking lot that is shared by other businesses so it fills up fast. We passed it and didn't realize so we parked in the nearby neighborhood and just walked over. My bf ordered 2 beers, we got some lemon pepper dry rub wings, fries, and brioche link which were all fantastic. The fries here are THICK but very good!! Love the crispy bits and they're not oily, perfectly salted as well. Their Cusabi Ranch is a MUST try. I dipped both my wings and fries in them. It's a cucumber wasabi ranch dip and super refreshing!! Overall the vibe and food were great, drinks and prices excellent, and staff, even better. We are definitely looking forward to coming back again! IG: @ammysalamii

It's at the end of a dead end street and I'm not going to lie, I second guessed my directions at first. But it is there! It's counter service with a massive patio. So much cool art on the walls and lots of shade. I didn't expect it to be so big from the pictures I saw online. The bike shop and rentals are in the back. I didn't rent a bike, but I did look a the cute shop and bought a cool bandana with birds on it! I ordered the breakfast tacos and a cortado and let me tell you, you they were the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. I was skeptical because I love breakfast burritos, but these were perfect. Delicious sauce, crunchy potatoes, I added kale and oyster mushrooms. The friendly cashier recommended them and told me they are only on the weekday menu though, so keep that in mind! The coffee was smooth and perfectly made with a cute little design on it. Everything came out quickly. I saw they also have a great beer list with lots of local breweries, so I'm definitely going to come back for dinner/happy hour very soon! Oh! They told me they just got their liquor license and are going to have a full drink menu soon, so I am totally looking forward to having cocktails here. If you've been thinking about coming to this place, do it!

The other day, we were riding along the river path and decided to stop at Spoke for a beer after spending some time on the trail. We walked in, ordered a couple of beers, and the woman helping us immediately seemed annoyed that we were only ordering drinks. Her facial expressions and overall attitude made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. After taking our payment, she went to the back to grab our beers. We waited about seven minutes, which seemed like a long time considering we only ordered beer. When she finally came back, the beers were room temperature instead of cold. Normally I would have said something, but because of how short and unfriendly she had been from the start, I honestly didn't feel comfortable bringing it up. It felt like I'd just be met with more attitude. I still like Spoke, and I'll definitely be back for the breakfast burritos because they're great. I just hope this experience was a one-off, because better customer service and properly chilled beer would have made a huge difference.
