Gingergrass

You may have already munched on some shrimp fritters from Silver Lake's Gingergrass, but the new bar next door ain’t just a big lobby. Inspired by Vietnamese cafés that serve Bia Hoi (“fresh beer”), they worked with Eagle Rock brewery to develop lighter beers just for the lounge, that still bring the flavor. Plus, during the day it doubles as a banh mi-serving café/bakery. If the artisan flare doesn't sway you, the $7 pitcher might. In Silver Lake.
