***PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer maintaining this list. Please direct any updates to the list to Bryan_C.
Full list of corkage entries are listed here:
Click through on sheet tabs at the bottom to browse specific LA region lists.
Few ways to add/update entries:
Fill out form here: Los Angeles Corkage Fees
Insert new rows into the ‘Input New Entries Here’ sheet for additions to the ‘master’ sheet. ‘master’ sheet will be updated periodically.
Insert a ‘comment’ on a specific entry in the ‘master’ sheet to get it updated. To comment, right click on a cell and select ‘Insert comment’.
Comments on recency of corkage use are appreciated as well. Would be good to keep the ‘Current as of’ column up to date.
At least a few restaurants on this list are now closed. If you know of any that are closed, comment on the specific cell/row.
If all else fails, post a message to this thread.
Locked lists should be alphabetical and separate sheets have been autogenerated for specific regions keyed off of the data from the ‘master’ sheet.
Please call restaurants in advance, as their policies may have changed. Please report any errors on this list to this thread or via comment on the spreadsheet.
Both Docle in Mid-city and Melogranos in Hollywood are closed. The Bazaar is now charging $30 per bottle. Providence is also $30 per bottle but still free on Mondays. Nick & Stefs Steakhouse downtown also offers free corkage (as do many of the restaurants in the Patina group - with the exception of Patina).
Thanks, Audrey. That list is what I started with and has been largely updated. I’m still updating things and fleshing out more of the data. I really encourage and thank people to send me updates, so we can get this list to be the most comprehensive list of LA corkage out there (I think it already is, but it could be better).
I fixed it… apparently I have to cut and paste twice as there is so much data. But I highly recommend everyone use the Google spreadsheet instead (Los Angeles Corkage Fees - Google Sheets" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) as it is much easier to read, will have the most current data and is sortable and searchable.
Wow. BYOB is definitely getting more costly at the better LA restaurants. Kind of hard to figure as one would think they still feel the depressed economy. $35 is unfriendly but (IMO) not offensive. $50 is out-of-hand.
