Barbrix (Silverlake)

By in 05: Silver Lake + Echo Park

I was treated here at this new wine bar opened at Silver lake. Just when I thought “isn’t it recession right now,” then I saw their reasonable priced menu. The restaurant is in a house with patio and its own parking lot. We sat at the bar seat, right in front of the open kitchen […]
