Mezcaleria is a project my brother Fernando and I envisioned many months ago.  We both felt a bar area was missing in our Olympic location, an area where we could pay an homage to the spirit that saw my father grow up in the fields of Matatlan. We both wanted it to be an educational forum for mezcal lovers here in Los Angeles.  Soon enough, we linked with Ricky Klein and Kelly Patry, two amazing designers who are responsible for some of my favorite bars in the historic downtown Los Angeles. With their help our pet project became alive.

Our Mezcaleria is located in the back room of our Olympic branch. More than a simple bar, Mezcaleria offers one of the largest mezcal selections in the country, which we look forward to grow in months to come.  We offer seven different wild agave productions including Tepestate, Dobadaan, and a rare Tobaziche (my favorite). No mezcal bar would be complete without a proper list of mezcal cocktails to complement it.  My father’s original recipe, “Garra de Tigre”, is by far my favorite.  We have been serving it from day one and has become a favorite among all of our friends.  We also have 3 different mezcal tasting options: beginner, intermediate and “Mezcólatra”.

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of the bar, it’s beautiful and perfectly integrated into the restaurant.  I look forward to reading your comments and seeing your faces around here soon!

love,

Bricia
