Who says a good oyster bar needs to be seawater-adjacent? Silver Lake's L & E Oyster Bar brings em' in fresh from both coasts (check whether yours is East or Westsiiiide on the classic snack-bar-style signs). $28 gets you the chef's best dozen bivalves and a few bucks more brings a glass from their healthy curated wine selection or one of the four choice beers. The place has a comfy seaside bistro vibe (courtesy of Bar Covell's Dustin Lancaster and Matt Kaner) that almost makes you forget the ocean is a sea of tailpipes away.

Very cute neighborhood spot. The outside patio is exactly where you want to be on a warm evening in LA. Their daily dozen is the way to go. They serve ridiculously fresh, beautiful oysters. And their wine menu is legit, too.

Nothing beats sitting outside on a warm night with fresh oysters and pints of beer.
