Little Bear
Los Angeles, California
You don't need to love beer to like Little Bear — but it sure doesn't hurt. This arts district bar/cafe is run by beer guru Ryan Sweeney, and offers a fittingly well-researched beer list, which runs the gamut from domestic bottles to rare imported ales on tap, all with a heavy Belgian slant. The Belgian influence extends to the menu as well, which includes surprisingly nuanced brunch, lunch, and dinner offerings. Just be careful — some of the stronger offerings are likely to send you reeling after only a couple pints.
