I have not been to Barbrix in years -- back when it had the orange signage -- and while it was fine then, it never really stood out to me. That's definitely changed. I went last night with a few friends and we had a really lovely time. It feels like the restaurant has had a noticeable upgrade, both in vibe and overall experience. The menu is family-style with smaller plates that are great for sharing. Prices feel fair -- most small plates are in the $10-$20 range, with larger dishes around $30. We ordered seven dishes plus dessert and left feeling full, but not overly stuffed. Here's what we tried: Bub & Grandma's Baguette -- $6 Roasted Baby Golden Beet Salad -- $12 Blue Lake Green Bean Tempura -- $11 Ahi Tuna Crudo -- $15 Grilled Oyster Mushrooms -- $13 Pork Schnitzel -- $30 Spring Pea Cannelloni (special) -- $17 Basque Cheesecake -- $9 Overall, everything was delightful. The standouts for me were the Pork Schnitzel -- a great portion, well cooked, served with roasted potatoes -- the Blue Lake Green Bean Tempura, which were light, fun, and super snackable, and the Ahi Tuna Crudo, which was familiar but really refreshing. The Spring Pea Cannelloni was very pretty, but the flavors didn't feel totally harmonious to me. There is a small parking lot in front, which is always appreciated, and a nice outdoor patio that was especially enjoyable with the current warm weather. It really feels like a great little neighborhood spot now. If you are nearby, I would definitely recommend stopping by -- it is an easy, enjoyable place to share a drink and a meal with friends or relax at the bar. read more

While visiting LA in March, my good friend and fellow Yelper Te-see B. was excited to take me to this trendy little restaurant and wine bar. I love how hidden this place is. The kind of place we Yelpers love to discover. Per Te-see, we needed to arrive early as parking is extremely limited here and we wanted to insure we had a spot. We weren't the only ones to arrive early and the little lot filled up in minutes. We were here for the "featured dish" special of the day which was $5.00 pizza night. Yes, you heard me right, not a slice but a whole pizza to yourself. As soon as the doors opened we were entering and going for a bar seat. The bar is set up in a square so the bartenders are able to take care of all their patrons comfortably. The weekly specials on food run all week and their HH runs from Monday - Saturday 5pm - 9:30pm and the wine HH runs 5pm - 7pm for $8 a glass. You must sit at the bar in order to redeem the wine HH. We both wanted a glass of wine to accompany our pizza and as I was deciding I noticed a bottle on the bar. I quickly picked it up and decided I wanted to try a glass of this interesting looking red wine. Turns out it is called Cartuxa EA Red Blend and it is from Portugal. After one glass I knew I wanted to purchase a bottle of this unexpected, well balanced and elegant wine. Total purchase price was a mere $34.00! Sold! I ordered the Margarita pizza along with a Caesar Salad. Everything was really tasty and the meal paired well with the wine. Service was ample but not incredible. I would recommend eating here as the food is tasty and trying out the daily specials. Be sure to get her early to grab a parking spot or you will be parking on the street. I just noticed on their website that they are currently closed for renovations. I would suggest following them for a future re-opening date. read more

Barbrix is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant tucked quietly off Hyperion Ave, in Los Feliz. As soon as you walk in you are transported to a small town in Oregon or maybe even a sleepy town on the coast...(a warm & cozy vibe) Snuggle up on a bar stool and sip a lovely glass of wine while you meet your fellow Barbrix patrons! Holly was our server and it was a pleasure getting to know her. She made an excellent choice for me: The Chardonnay from Italy. Holly will offer a sample before you can holler, "fill it up!" *Barbrix has started a trend with their weekly meal deals. Every night is a "featured dish," at a lower price. *Monday's are $5 Pizza night (which is my next venture here!) *Tuesday nights are Burger night ~ $10 for a burger w/fries. And so on.... We were here on Tuesday/Burger night which went perfectly with my happy hour glass of Chardonnay! $8 The regular menu is also available as well as the "Happy Hour Bar" menu. Dinner is served inside the restaurant area but we preferred the bar which wraps around the entire bar in a square shape. *Parking lot is very small so if you get here after 6pm I suggest finding street parking *Go on their website to find the "Daily Specials" *Only Wine, Sparkling Wine & Beer. *No mixed drinks read more

I have been going to Barbrix since it opened, and with the major refresh of both the menu and Dining room It was time for a refresh of my review! This is, hands down, the most overlooked restaurant in Silverlake. It offers a rotating menu that is always on point, the perfect atmosphere for memorable date, or a gathering of good friends. Some of the most important life decisions have been hashed out over the copper bar They new look is streamlined and clean, and gives a long overdue face lift, the patio was renovation very well done, making it relaxed and inviting. There is no point in unpacking any one dish, because they will change - but the chef seams to have sanded the menu back to the heart of things, where they started, offering small plates & wine pairings that will delight you, and bring joy to your senses. Thank you Barbrix for being a cornerstone of culinary excellence in Silverlake for so many years, but also always keeping things fresh, new and unexpected! We are so thankful for every bite! read more

Was invited for late birthday celebration and totally enjoyed every single dish we ordered. Love the new menu and ambience.. food was so delicious that we inhaled it and forgot to take pictures. Highly recommend. read more

Barbrix - Inside tables and a new oven! Great ambiance ..,, - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've reviewed Barbrix before I'm sure, but every time I eat there I'm compelled to once again. Not too long ago they remodeled parts of the restaurant and the menu, to great success. Claudio and Chef Don Dickman have tightened up and fine tuned what was already pretty great. Last night we tried some new dishes (for us); the steak tartare, halibut and summer succotash. Just really special! Fantastic bottle of wine topped off the evening. Barbrix is an asset to the Silver Lake community and beyond. read more

Came here as recommended by a friend. Loved the ambiance low key, not fussy, great wine selection. They let you pick a bottle from the shop shelves for $10 corkage fee. Great selection and not your typical wineries for $20-40 average range and pairs very well with the food. The patio is super cute and fairy light lit at night. Food was delicious balsamic on the duck confit *chefs kiss*. Under carriage on the pizza was perfectly cooked too. Octopus really well charred taste. Service was great, changed cutlery cleaned table between courses not sure what the deal is in the reviews here. Everyone who attended to us was welcoming, homey and timely. Could tell that there were regulars around the bar. Loving this local spot! read more

Had a reservation for 12 people, one of the few places in LA that doesn't make you have a set menu for such a large party. Easy to make a reservation and they are very accommodating. Service is great, and it's a nice place. The patio is very enjoyable. We tried a few appetizers and got a couple bottles of wine. I only tried the rosé, but I also got a beer which I enjoyed. I ordered the pappardelle with rabbit ragu and it was wonderful. Very fresh pasta. I only wish they had a full bar, but they said they're working on getting a license so maybe they will soon. read more

Solid Italian spot that is good for a big group. We tried the cacio e pepe pasta, branzino, a margarita pizza, the butternut squash agnolotti pasta, and several starters. Everything was good, though nothing was especially memorable. The desserts weren't my favorite, but others in the group enjoyed them. The orange wine we tried was excellent. Overall impression was that it's a good spot with good service to check out if you're already planning to be in the area. read more

Great food and amazing service. Family owned and operated. They also own All Aqua and do a great job. Feels like home.

Best kept secret in the neighborhood. You can't beat their daily specials! Holly is the friendliest at the bar. It's a cozy neighborhood spot with delicious food. For pizza, we love the mushroom and diavolo. Small lot for parking, additional parking across the street at baller hardware. read more

While visiting LA, a group of us visited Barbrix for dinner. This is a very cute restaurant/wine bar that you can either just choose to have a few glasses of wine from around the world with your friends, or enjoy a nice dinner. Since we were a group of 4, we decided to start with a bottle of wine. It was kind of fun to pick the bottle because instead of the menu, since their wine inventory changes frequently, they have you pick at the wine bar. They had a great selection, but my only issue is that they were at room temperature, which isn't ideal for wine. Regardless, the Napa cabernet and the French pinot we ended up selecting were both lovely. For appetizers, we had the marinated olives (a classic), the garlic bread and the charcuterie (manchego and goat cheese, and salami). The garlic bread is a must order. It was warm, buttery, and garlicky, which is just what you want. The cheeses were wonderful, as was the meat. For pastas, we ordered the cacio y pepe, rigatoni bolognese, and corn agnolotti. We also ordered the New York steak with chimichurri. The best pasta was the rigatoni. The bolognese was super flavorful and really did taste like it had simmered for 6 hours. The cacio y pepe was good, but it could have used more pepper. Also, I am not a fan when they put heavy cream as it's not the authentic version. The agnolotti was good but not necessarily memorable. Unfortunately, as a Midwesterner, the steak was probably the most disappointing. It was a bit more cooked than medium rare, it was not really seasoned and super chewy, which makes me wonder if it was cut with the grain vs against. Overall, this place was a super cute place and I'd recommend it for the wines, apps, and the pastas. Great place for a date night for sure! read more

This review definitely deserves an update as the restaurant has shifted since the pandemic from a great neighborhood restaurant to one of my favorite restaurants in all of LA, serving an updated menu for dinner only (no brunch anymore) while also being a wine shop that opens around 3pm during the day offering an expansive collection of great wines with knowledgeable and passionate staff that are there to guide you. The food always good before, but now it's EXCELLENT here, and the new menu offerings (especially the pizza) are top notch. I dine in all the time, as well as getting take-out quite a bit, and am always recognized by the management and greeted with a welcome smile. Below are some of my favorite dishes: Meatball Appetizer - 5 Stars. Seasoned perfectly, a great start to any meal. Arrancini - 5 Stars. Saffron rice balls, crisp texture on the outside, tender and light on the inside. Cracked Farrow Salad - 5 Stars. I'm obsessed with this salad! Autumn Farrow Salad - 4 1/2 Stars. A seasonal variation from the salad above. Diavlo Pizza - 4 1/2 Stars. Delicious pizza with a light crust, cooked perfectly in a wood fire oven. Fusilli Alla Vodka - 5 Stars. My favorite pasta here! Absolutely perfect, creamy and well balanced flavor with perfectly cooked fusilli pasta. Bucatini Cacio e Pepe - 4 1/2 Stars. Another delicious pasta dish, cooked a bit Al dente. Bonus tip, add extra parmesan. Rigatoni - 4 1/2 Stars. Cooked with a bolognese, this is another home run pasta! For great Italian food with great service, do yourself a favor and check out Barbrix. read more

My favorite is the duck shawarma served with gently pickled vegetables and a tangy sauce. Walk around to see the wine selection and pick your bottle. This is really a good spot to relax! read more

My biggest red flag in a restaurant is when they don't tell you things are extra charge. I don't care if it's $.50 or five dollars I feel like it's right for the customer to know if there is a charge. It really is the principle of things. I ordered this pasta with my friend after an event, because we just wanted to light bite to eat. The pasta we ordered was super bland, and there was no flavor so I asked for a side of basil. The waiter did seem a little caught off guard, but he ended up bringing the basil. I probably will never be back here again because the food wasn't worth it. No the customer service. How disappointing. read more

Went for dinner the other day after many years of avoiding it (not a fan of precious, bougie places), and was really pleasantly surprised. Nice, simple, elegant candlelit atmosphere- perfect for a date night. The menu is Italian-adjacent, with a nice assortment for most eating habits. I had a delicious scallop risotto, and my friend and I split a salad and a fried squash blossom appetizer stuffed with ricotta, and a deep chocolate ganache. Most entrees are mid-$20s-$30s, and they offer one very reasonable special of the day. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Considering how expensive even casual restaurants are nowadays, I found it well worth it, and will go back. read more

Let me just say.... I will rave about this place to everyone I know. The outside was absolutely beautiful and had a very relaxing feel. The inside was quite cozy. We tried some of their new wines which was great quality. Our server Lydia guided us through the whole thing as it was our first time being there . She was very knowledgeable and so friendly. We will be asking for her next time we go. We ended up getting the watermelon salad and the tai snapper with the gazpacho sauce was to die for! Enjoyed the entire experience! read more

Absolutely loved everything about this spot! Lydia took amazing care of us -- warm, welcoming, and really knowledgeable. The atmosphere was cozy inside and just beautiful outside -- perfect for a relaxed evening. We tried the Spanish octopus carpaccio, snapper with gazpacho sauce, and beet salad -- every single dish was full of flavor. Everything was so reasonably priced for the quality. Can't wait to come back! And thank you to our server Lydia! read more

A gem. Everybody knows your name. Recently married two people here so you know it is special. Come on in and see why. Enjoying $5 pizzas on Mondays and $10 cheeseburgers on Tuesdays. The branzino is terrific and one of my faves. Caesar salad adds a refreshing crunch. Save room for budino and tiramisu. read more

"You know most of the food that Americans hold so dear - things like hamburgers and hot dogs - were road food, but even before they were road food, they were peasant food." - Alton Brown While buzzing around the Silver Lake Hills and visiting with other relatives, we mentioned that we were craving a good ol' hamburger since eating so much rich food. Fortunately, it was Tuesday, and my relatives suggested the 10 dollar burger specials at this restaurant since it was nearby and where they frequently eat casual dinners and shop for wine. Since we were going to the restaurant in a group, we, of course, made reservations via Resy and requested the outdoor patio seating because of current COVID-19 health safety protocols. We found street parking off on nearby Tracy Street from the restaurant. There was a host inside of the outdoor tented area who checked us in and requested our proof of vaccination documents (digital or hard-copy). It was a tranquil Tuesday evening, and we had the entire outdoor tented area to ourselves, but walking into the restaurant, I noticed a lot more diners or customers bellied up to the wine bar. Our dinner started with assorted appetizers (Saffron Arancini, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Fried Squash Blossoms) as we sipped on French wine that carried us through our burger dinners. Five out of the six family members ordered the delicious hand-patted burgers that came with crisp fries, while one family member ordered the Flat-Iron Steak. Each Cheeseburger came with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, Aleppo aïoli and parsley garlic fries which regularly lists for $17. A great incentive to come on $10 Cheeseburger Tuesdays is that you get the same great flavors and quality. The wine was suggested by the wine steward and was tasty and not too expensive. We finished off two bottles of wine over conversations and delicious comfort foods. As we looked over the contactless menu, we'd like to return for their pasta and pizzas. read more

Barbrix - Fried chicken night! - Wine Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Tonight was an appetizer night. We had the calamari, octopus, zucchini blossom, and a caesar salad. All were absolutely delicious! The calamari had a light batter and served with a lemon aioli (we requested a side of marina sauce too). The perfectly grilled octopus sits a top a mixed citrus, fennel, olives, and chili with a tangy vinaigrette. The zucchini blossom was a soft, tender texture with a slightly sweet flavor and the light nutty taste of the ricotta cheese is a perfect filling. The staff was courteous. We were also able to purchase a bottle of wine to gift a friend-how convenient. read more

Wine bar with shared plates. Came here with my friend on a Friday evening after a different wine tasting and split a plate of vodka pasta. It was a bit bland so we asked for some basil on the side ($1 charge). Indoor and outdoor seating available.

COVID-19: Social distancing is enforced at this establishment. All of the staff wears a mask. All customers are expected to wear a mask too. Some of the staff also wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some outdoor seating available with limited capacity. They are also sanitizing in between customers. While I was here in this establishment last night, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently do have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: They have valet parking and street parking. Parking is a pain in the butt, honestly. Circled around for a bit to find parking. Make sure to read the street signs before you park or else you will get a ticked or your car will get towed. Seriously saw a car get towed last night, so beware! Drinks: My friends and I didn't order any food, but we got a bunch of drinks. Got some moscatos and sparking rose. My friends and I were mainly there to unwind and chat. Nice and chill atmosphere to chat. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, and they checked up on us quite frequently to make sure we were doing okay. Great service. read more

I've lived in Silver Lake since 2008 and always wanted a favorite "go to" restaurant. I've realized this is my place. It helps that they have amazing specials during the week. I love their pizzas, burgers with perfect fries, several of the pastas...rigatoni and pappardelle and fusilli.. Honestly I don't remember having anything I didn't like. It's the first place I recommend when people are staying in Silver Lake. They have great wine for as little as $30 a bottle and friendly staff with great lighting. I hope they stick around for a long time. read more

Our favorite restaurant in L.A.!!! The food is exceptional and very reasonable. Especially worth checking out their nightly specials. The best in town. Our favorite is Monday pizza night, Tuesday burger night and Wednesday pasta night. Wine is outstanding and very affordable. Most bottles are under $50 plus a $10 corkage (but tastes like most other restaurants $200 and up bottles.) The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. It's warm and cozy inside with a beautiful outdoor patio area covered with foliage. Very inviting. I would also recommend their sister restaurant open for lunch and dinner. It's called All'Aqua and it's located close by in Atwater Village. The lunch specials are incredible!!! Also beautifully decorated with lovely staff. read more

Highlight: $8 bottomless mimosas (with $14 food purchase). If it weren't for this special, I would not come here because the food was overpriced for its taste (almost all brunch entrees are $18+). Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich: 3.5/5 ($18.5) Just an average sandwich that will leave you satiated. The sandwich comes with the option of shoestring fries or mixed greens for its side. The portion size was generous and one can definitely get full off of this dish. However, it was mediocre at best, and certainly not worth almost $20. Carnitas Hash: 3.5/5 ($18.5) Taco meat with 2 fried eggs. You get the same option of shoestring fries or mixed greens for a side order. Again, the amount of food was pretty generous. Perhaps that is how they justify the hefty price for an adequate dish. The flavor was okay and the meat paired nicely with the egg, but some bites of the meat felt a bit too chewy for my liking. Mimosas: 5/5 ($8) Let's be real, this was the only reason I came here and why most people will continue to come here. This was probably my first time drinking mimosas at a restaurant so I can't say how the taste compares to other places. But for the most part, I enjoyed the mimosas here very much. The alcohol was not overpowering so it was easy to drink - perfect if you are looking for a boozy brunch. Service: 4/5 Our server was awesome and he kept coming by with a pitcher to refill our mimosas. If the rating was solely based off of his service, it would undoubtedly be 5 stars. However, one thing I noticed and disliked was the fact that servers who are not assigned to your table will completely disregard you even if you try to grab their attention. Or maybe this just applies to one girl in particular. There were 2 instances when I didn't see our respective server and tried to get the attention of a waitress passing by. She had the most unfriendly look on her face and avoided our table/ my attempts both times. At most restaurants, even if he/she is not the assigned server, he/she will still help you if you reach out. So I was a bit shocked by the way that one waitress just ignored us like that. read more

This is a wonderful neighborhood restaraunt-- excellent food and service in a beautiful patio environment.

Secret hangout place of theaters people, great wines and great atmosphere, their food pairing was also perfect, I really like the meatball, the sausage and the bacon wrapped dates. Finally they amazed me with the duck confit, if you had roasted duck, this was so different, the meat is falling of the bone because it was cooked in fat. I ended up getting 2019 French bordeaux instead of Italian, we also came during happy hour so we received another complimentary glass because my friend is a regular here.

Came here on a Friday evening for a birthday dinner. Restaurant was easy to find and there was plenty of street parking. However, the food is very mediocre Italian food. I wished they gave a little more description in their menu. Such as, the Spaghetti & Clams would be made with a red sauce vs a white sauce. That wasn't the worst part, the dish tasted like butter and the ocean. I don't think the clams were even cleaned... so I doused the dish with a lot of lemon juice. The best thing on the menu are the Brussels Sprouts. I will say though, the waiters are friendly and accommodating. They brought out the wrong dish for one of our orders but was able to fix it with no issues. They even let us keep the dish as a complimentary sample. read more

This is a cute little restaurant on Hyperion that is also a wine shop. We got there around 630 pm for dinner and there was only one other table on a Monday night. When you first walk in, they have a wide variety of wines to choose from including reds, whites, roses, and orange wines to go with your meal. The hostess let us know that we could choose a bottle with a corkage fee of $10. We chose a pinot noir from alma rosa winery in Solvang, CA and another red from Santa ynez valley that paired really well with our meal. They had wines from France, Spain, and Italy! For starters, we got the broccolini which had the right about of spice that added a nice kick to it. The short ribs were the first to come out that was over a bed of mashed potatoes. The meat was so tender and flavorful and the dish felt so homey. For the pasta, we chose the pici calabrese which came with shrimp, scallops, and sausage - spaghetti was on the thicker side which I enjoyed. Lastly we ordered the bianca verde pizza which came with prosciutto and arugula. The short ribs were definitely my favorite! For dessert, the butterscotch budino was really tasty and the perfect end to the meal. We also ordered the tiramisu which felt like it was lacking in some flavor. Overall, the restaurant had a great vibe and I thought it was really fun that you could go "wine shopping" before your meal! Parking: Metered street parking until 8pm read more

After the remodel/rebrand, looks like they decided to do away with the awesome daily specials. What's even more unbelievable is that they took the pizzas completely off the menu. It's basically nothing more than a tapas bar now. Not sure who thought it'd be a good idea to run away from what this place was known for. Good luck read more

I love the new menu. Lots of delicious new items. Everything I ordered was in the "small plates" category, so I was able to order a variety of dishes. I really took my time, studied the menu, and created a feast for myself - Smoked Fish Dip with House-Made Potato Chips, Smoked Mussels on the Half Shell, Ahi Tuna Crudo, Chicken Karage, Roasted Mushrooms, New York Steak Skewers, and Churros for dessert. I'd give everything a deserving 10/10. This is a very relaxing environment with great people at the helm. I was able to have very nice conversations with the owner Claudio, head chef Don, and the manager Gonzalo. Plus, my server Lydia was excellent - very courteous and professional. Barbrix has a great wine list, as well. Can't wait to come back to try more. read more
