Philippe's the Original, downtown's French dip institution, has added local natural wines to its beverage list.
Critic Bill Addison recommends L.A. wine bars and restaurants with excellent wine lists
Though changes to the list are recent, Philippe’s relationship with wine is not. During the 1920s, the restaurant sold house wine on tap, consumed by late-night revelers and hourly workers with equal gusto, often paired with drinking snacks like blood sausage and pickled pig’s foot . “He was amused by the idea of someone drinking a nice bottle of wine with a $5 French dip, so he kept the prices as low as possible,” Binder said. “It wasn’t until about five years ago that he mostly stopped drinking and gave me full control of the list.”
“We’re famous for our 50-cent cups of coffee,” Binder said, noting that most selections are priced between $7 and $9 a glass. “It’s less about making money and more about keeping things interesting while staying true to traditions.”
