Sometimes, a good bottle of wine and charcuterie board just fixes everything. One of my favorite DTLA happy hour spots is Good Clean Fun, an unassuming DTLA café-meets-wine-bar-meets-Italian-restaurant with an adorable patio right on Olive Street. They recently remodeled the space, so swing by for a glass and some good clean fun!

Speaking of vino…

This isn’t your typical wine tasting. Taking over MICA Studios in the DTLA Arts District next Saturday, 3/28, The Festival of Undiscovered Grapes is your chance to explore 100+ rare wine varieties poured by dozens of independent California wineries, all in one place. Use code DOLA10 for $10 off tickets, or enter to win a pair!*

THE LOCAL’S LIST: DoSUNDAYS WITH DAVE

We’re asking locals what they’re actually into lately. They pick the topic, we share the list. Every Friday, new person, new subject, maybe a new friend?

First up: Meet Dave, who’s literally my boss. And no one does “Sunday Funday” better than Dave.

A former festival producer and touring blues guitarist who has opened for the likes of Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, and Gary Clark Jr., he brings a deep love of live music and culture to everything he does. When he’s not working, he’s a husband and father of two, usually bouncing between neighborhood staples, new openings, live shows, and quiet pockets of nature.
