[DOA: Designers Out + About] Hello Again

[emcee]

Hope you enjoyed your "time alone" last month. We are back and its already July! And as we said last time, we are returning Downtown to a new-ish spot in a new-ish part of Downtown—Corkbar in South Park. Located on the ground floor of the Evo South condos, the design by MASS Architecture and Design (recent winner of the 2010 AIA/LA Restaurant Design Award for Intellgentsia Coffee in Venice), addresses the coldness of a tall concrete, steel, and glass space through the use of wood—reclaimed for tabletops, paneling on the walls, a massive curved bar, and tiered shelving with hundreds of artistically placed bottles. Judging from the name of this place, you can surmise that it is a wine bar, but it also has beers, and they are all from California. Flights are available for tastings as well as a small food menu. You can also surmise that there will be at least one gay there and probably more. Hope to see you next Fri, Jul 9 from 630-830p (extra time for those making the trek!). In the meantime, God Bless America! Booyah!

P.S. Make it a night—stop by before or after the Outfest films at REDCAT.
