Editorial Review for Eastside Luv Wine Bar – by Martha Burr
In Short
Just off historic Mariachi Plaza, this corner bar--formerly the popular 1940's Metropolitan Club--hosts an artsy and diverse downtown scene favored by artists, longtime residents, businessmen and politicians. A crimson glow washes over cushioned plastic-covered chairs at the sunken bar, while the wall of booths beneath red velvet wallpaper features vintage Mexican movie posters and contemporary Chicano art. A variety of live performances feature "mariachi-oke" to burlesque. Draft beers include Hoegarden, Fat Tire and Tecate, plus homemade sangria, and 25 wines by the glass.

The red decor is fun and the low bar is worth checking out. They have a few beers on tap and a pretty decent sangria. The place is small but definitely worth visiting if you are in the Eastside.
Pros: Newest bar in Boyle Heights
Cons: Cocktail selection
