1st Visit – Western Station

After driving by it many, many, many times, I finally made a point of stopping at Western Station a mostly wine (but also beer) bar in Eagle Rock.

It is a small and dim but not dark space with a group setting in front but mostly bar seating. The beer and wine lists are chalked up in frames on one side. There is also a side wall with bottles of wine and a couple coolers with a small but nicely curated choice of beers. Any place that has Duvel bottles is a step ahead of the game.

The small draft list had Highland Park, There Does Not Exist and a pair of Craftsman beers and since I had not had the famous for Los Angeles 1903 Lager in quite some time, I went with that.

File Western Station under where you want to go when you have bi-curious beverage groups. Wine fans will find something and beer fans will too.

To the West

Colorado Wine Co. in Eagle Rock begat Sunset Beer but the former has moved and the latter was pushed out by, well land greed. But now the original CoWineCo. is now Western Station. A beer and wine bar plus small bottle shop in Eagle Rock.

It will be open 7 days a week and I will certainly pop in to see what the new place is like.
