1642 Beer and Wine

This bar is super cute...wine and beer only.
Piano/ragtime players later in the night.
Exposed brick/NYC feel to it.
Super nice bartender!!

****BE WARNED***
my JEEP was parked right outside for maybe 2 hours and was broken into, window smashed and my life stolen...this is NOT A SAFE AREA.  My alarm must have gone off and for the time it took them to pull my vintage 50 lb. bike out of the back, (which was wedged in there pretty good) and take everything else, it amazes me that no one said/saw anything.
When I filed the police report they asked why the hell I was in that area.....

1642 is a gem! it's a hole in the wall, dark, mysterious, and intimate little place. I was shocked the first time I came here. From the outside, they area and the bar looks really sketchy, but once inside all that changes. I used to come here a lot with my ex bf and we never left disappointed. They have a great beer and wine selection and everyone keeps to themselves. It's a great place to go to with a date or significant other.

Where am I? Not Silver Lake, that's for sure. Relatively quiet (but not dead) on a weekend with reasonably priced drinks. I'm claiming this bar as mine. I see people are calling it "hipster" but I'd say it's like a cleaned up dive that's not trying way too hard. My friend described it as "very date-y", and I'd agree, but I'd add that it's still very casual. I'd say it's the kind of date where you're not sure if it's a date because you're both just wearing a regular t-shirt and jeans, but you're wearing just a bit of some eau de parfum, you know?
