Here’s this week’s round-up for Eastside food and drink news.
Looking for restaurants and bars to watch the World Cup? LA TACO recommends Highland Park’s The House of Football and Silver Lake’s The Red Lion Tavern. The House of Football has big screens and outdoor seating to watch the game, plus retail space to pick up vintage and new gear. The Red Lion Tavern is perfect if you’re looking for an international affair, serving up German schnitzel, sausage and beer.
The holidays are a busy time for tamale makers (and eaters). LA TACO‘s picks for some of the best Eastside tamales include Carniceria Uruapan, La Mascota and Los Cinco Puntos in Boyle Heights and Tamales Liliana’s (East LA & Boyle Heights locations) and La Indiana Tamales in East LA.
While we await the new Michelin star rankings, the restaurant guide has updated its Bib Gourmand rankings of casual and less expensive selections that include some Eastside spots. Making the cut were Silver Lake’s All Day Baby and Pijja Palace, East Hollywood’s Saffy’s, and Lincoln Heights’ Moo’s Craft Barbecue, Eater LA reports.
Silver Lake: Botanica announced that two new chefs are now working in their kitchen: Alex Barkley from Birdie G’s and Joanne Bae from Here’s Looking at You and Etta.
Eagle Rock: Filipino restaurant Motherland is hosting comedy shows every Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Times has the full story on how C.J. Toledano, a first-generation Filipino American, is creating community each week.
Here are a few Eastside restaurants that are open late, even 24 hours:

For more than a decade, The Eastsider has brought you community news you can’t find anywhere else. Nearly every day since it launched, The Eastsider has told you about the people, the issues and the events going on in your neighborhood. But you may not realize all this happens with only one full-time employee — me. I am fortunate to have a handful of talented, part-time workers and freelance writers. Readers have been generous with story ideas and photos. However, for The Eastsider to keep growing, I will need more help.
That’s why I’m seeking to raise $25,000 by the end of the year to hire a part-time assistant editor, who can free me up to spend more time ensuring we bring you more of the news you need. I would be grateful for your help in reaching that goal.
Please make a one-time contribution or, better yet, become a sustaining Reader Sponsor with a monthly contribution by filling out the form below. Many thanks!
