Kippered

Good vibes, wine on tap only $10 during happy hour, amazing bread butter and olives!!

Cute small little place they have a bread and butter menu with different kinds of butter it was delicious would definitely go back , a chill no frills place to have a drink after work or before a night out

Went here for NYE 2024, they dropped the ball on us 6 hours early. Eventful and potentially unforgettable. The lighting is a bit too dim.

Excellent happy hour, fantastic wines - several on draft, yummy snacks (bread and butter for the win), David Bowie playing on the stereo while I was visiting, and beautiful cozy atmosphere.

Legitimately a great bar. Canned fish sounds so odd, but pairing it with wine/beer was unexpectedly great. The atmosphere is great, the staff is wonderful; I just found my new favorite bar.

My second time here but had even more of a blast this time around. Loved allllll the food- especially the bread and butter, yum. Also was a huge fan of their olives and nuts! Can’t wait to go back again.

Simply the best!! Of course the interior of this spot is both gorgeous and cozy but it’s the truly thoughtful team that makes Kippered a star. There is so much knowledge and passion put into curating a drinks list that is wide ranging but also cohesive. A rye IPA, skin contact still, and dry cider all on tap?! we love to see it! The collection of tinned fish is one of the largest I’ve seen in the US focusing on sustainable providers from near and far, the last time I saw some of these conservas I was in Portugal, what a treat. Whether you’re looking for a spot for a drink after work, a cutie date night or somewhere to have dinner with a group I think Kippered is a perfect choice. I love trying lots of different things and it is so fun to share all of the small plates here and build a meal out of them.

Kippered is my new favorite neighborhood wine & snack bar. The owner Lydia and her team have created an easy going vibe in a beautiful space with wonderful service. They offer a well curated selection of damn good wines to pair with an extensive array of tinned seafood from Portugal and Spain. There’s also caviar, salads and damn good bread. Extra points for a few different types of butters on hand. The team knows their stuff so ask for help selecting if you’re stuck on what to order - you can’t go wrong.

If you are in downtown LA, you should definitely stop at Kippered. It's a pretty hip place, with a great wine selection and an assortment of tinned fish and other shareable food, which gives a unique experience for a full flavored dinner. The owners are friendly and interesting, and the decor is unique which adds to the vibe. We sat at the bar, and the service was top notch; casual but in some way this felt fancy. It's pretty close to the downtown LA market, and next door there is a cool little grocer run by the same people.

What a great new addition to the neighborhood! This little gem only opened less than a week ago, and when I visited on day 3, things were already running smoothly and seamlessly, and I can definitely see myself coming back again and again. Focus is on wine and tinned fish & seafood. The latter might be a little intimidating for some, but I grew up in Europe, so I'm a huge fan and was happy to see some dishes on the menu that brought back fond childhood memories. The food is served kind of charcuterie board style in their original packaging and it makes it all feel so cozy and relaxed; share a bottle and have your own little tasting adventure mixing and matching items from their 50+ different offerings of fishy deliciousness! All served by warm and welcoming staff, the service was top notch and just perfectly attentive. It's the perfect date night spot, be it a first date or a let's get out of the house kinda date. In other parts of the city, I can see this kinda place being a bit too hipstery and pretentious, but this dtla spot felt the complete opposite; just tasty libations with a laid back, inviting and unpretentious atmosphere. We ordered the tuna paté, French mackerel in , smoked trout in sweet wine brine and Danish smoked trout in juniper (my favorite of the night). We added some gruyére as well, and there was bread, butter, crackers and olives. I'm very picky with my bread, but this bread was lush and warm. I had a hard enough time deciding which dishes to order, so went simple with the drinks and had their chilled red wine on tap and their sour beer, both were perfect accompaniment for the food. Warmly recommend a visit, this place is a unique little DTLA treasure.

Kippered was a great find to help celebrate Memorial Day. The food is primarily fish in tins, think sardines, smoked tuna, smoked salmon, pates from around the world. Served with crackers and/or you can make your own charcuterie board with pickles, almonds, cheeses and meats as you wish. 4 beers and 4 wines on tap along with a wide selection of bottled wines and beers too. Cool vibe, laid back feel, lots of dark woods, great 9 stool bar, high top tables and patio seating. Excellent service! Highly recommended!!

Excellent selection of tin fish, wine and beer and at a great price point. Like selecting a la carte charcuterie items but not a charcuterie board price.

Eric Williams

A vibe. Great location and friendly service.

This was a cozy wine bar right off the metro! A nice happy hour deal that included some draft wines and beer. They also hosted a night of free floral bouquet making. Not sure if it was part of DTLA Art night, but regardless it was fun! They also had a phenomenal playlist with a good mix of indie music and reggaeton! It was a great vibe overall. I'm only giving food 4 stars because I didn't order any but the menu also looked great. I'll be definitely be going back to give it a try!

We came here for their happy hour and Thursday craft night and had a blast, highly recommend! While we ended up eating nearby at Grand Central Market, the wine we had a really good and well priced.

A very stylish bar tucked away in downtown LA near Grand Central Market feels like an NYC bar. I had a great chat with the owners—they hand-select everything they serve, from small-batch wines to charcuterie sourced from both local and international makers. It’s a perfect spot for a date or catching up with an old friend. Everyone was super friendly, and the doorman adds a nice touch of safety and comfort.

Such a great spot. Cozy and fun with tons of interesting fish, meat & cheeses to try. But what stood out above everything else was how helpful and nice the staff was. Tin Tin picked some great dishes for us and was super friendly. We can't wait to come back!

Very welcoming place. I could hardly smell the tear gas over the bouquet of my Cab Franc. Would definitely recommend

The Sawā plum sour was awesome! The perfect balance you look for in a beer. Ended up in here by accident but Tintin was awesome! 100% recommend this place worth the stop!

Great wine and small bites - amazing selection of tinned fish including macklerel, and shell fish. Charming team who puts together a fantastic curated board. Lots of seafood and cheese options from Basque Country and Portugal.

Great place. Staying at citizenM hotel around the corner, new to LA and found this hidden gem. Not a wine person but they recommended something I would like. Plus great vibe.
