Whether you want to hang out with Smokey the Bear or prefer to throw back a few at an authentic Scottish pub, check out this list for great Atwater Village bars.

Check your pretense at the door. This chill wine store and bar features laidback tastings in an underground cellar. It's the kind of place where you can order a cheese plate or Crispy Crust pizza with your flight of vino.
Because sometimes you're just in the mood to sip a Girl Scout Cookie cocktail under the gaze of Smokey the Bear in a ?log cabin.? Yeah.
Stepping into this dark, cavernous lounge feels a little bit like entering a sultry dungeon, thanks to the fire pits, brick arches and medieval accoutrements. While it can get loud, the vibe stays pretty mellow. Besides, they serve tater tots.
Contrary to popular belief, this old-school spot isn't just about prime rib dinners. The Scottish pub may be the ?Tam's? best kept secret--along with the all-day sandwich bar.
