http://www.azovino.com The next time you're gridlocked on the 10 East during a Friday evening commute (or late trip to Vegas), wait out the masses in Covina with a drink at AzoVINO Gift Gallery and Wine. The oddly titled wine bar is a big, cluttered oasis just off Citrus Avenue, perfect for oenophiles and casual drinkers alike. “The Gift Gallery” refers to the walls lined with etched wine glasses, assorted jewelry and lively wall art, while “Wine” means weekend jazz, cozy couches for lounging and a fireplace for the occasional winter spell. The wine list is simple perfection, a cabal of whites and reds from Argentina, Spain and right up the California coast. Those looking for suds instead will find a more-than-serviceable beer bottle program, plus a rotation of six taps that serve local craft beers in thick goblets. Not a bad way to start your weekend.

New Yorkers longing for Malaysian cooking have always tended to head to one of the Penang restaurants out in Flushing or in Manhattan's Chinatown. When I lived in New York, the various Penangs never seemed quite up to the level of my favorite Los Angeles Malaysian restaurants, but Penang always had great roti canai: delicately crisp flour pancakes as large as crumpled handkerchiefs, served with a small bowl of coconut-scented chicken curry tinted a deep rust color with chile oil. And the roti canai at the first West Coast location of Penang are really very good. After you finish the roti, a bowl of the herbal pork-rib soup called bah kut teh, and maybe a plate of crunchy fried purple eggplant or a dish of the Chinese water spinach kangkong fried with a fistful of the smelly, fermented shrimp paste belacan, you can have another order of pancakes, this time stuffed with ground peanuts and hot syrup for dessert. Are there mediocre dishes at Penang? A few of them: sliced chicken sauteed with mangoes and a violent-red sweet-and-sour sauce; soggy, egg-filled roti telur; a flat basil chicken. But anything on the menu marked by the word sambal, referring to a highly spiced chile paste, is bound to be pretty good. The service is authentically Malaysian, which is to say that the waiters appear at the table at erratic intervals and will let you order four versions of the same dish without comment, but will still make you love them by the end of the meal.

http://www.spikes-bar.com By day it's a chill dive bar; by night, this faux-wood-panel and poster-plastered bar and billiards spot revs up the area's rockabilly and greaser scene. Rev It Up is, in fact, the name of the popular Friday night club, a party where the girls often look like Bettie Page and the guys work it Mike Ness-style. Spike's may be popular mostly with those from East L.A. and surrounding areas, but it's worth the drive out to San Gabriel Valley thanks to booker Brando Von Badsville's live music bills, which often mesh garage, punk and psychobilly acts. There's also plenty of new wave (The '80s-themed Breakfast Club) and ska/punk (Radikal's Radio) and goth (Club Vicious) onstage and the tiny dance floor too. These promoter-driven nights do charge a cover, but the pool tables are free and drinks are dirt cheap. Bring cash. Read more about this Los Angeles bar or club >>
