The Best Food-Drinks Events in Los Angeles This Month

If you’ve been wondering where everyone in LA disappeared to, the answer is: they’re out eating and drinking. Right now, food-drinks events in Los Angeles are weirdly alive in the best way—195 people have already RSVP’d or are lurking on this week’s highlights alone, which is very impressive for a city that famously doesn’t like committing to anything.

This month has a real "pick your vibe" energy. You’ve got introspective hangs like **February Assembly: Living with Open Questions** for the people who like a little philosophy with their pour-over, and then the full-on spectacle side: **Benito Bowl (Super Bowl Watch Party and Tailgate)** for anyone who wants wings, screaming at TVs, and the deep, spiritual drama of whether the guac will run out before halftime. Valentine’s people are fully covered—there’s everything from **Valentine's Day - Los Angeles to San Diego & Return PM** (because nothing says romance like watching the coastline from a bus window) to **Valentines ❤️ Day , Catering** if your love language is outsourcing the cooking entirely.

You’ve also got the more niche-but-worth-it stuff: **Tu B'Shevat Festival** for those who like their celebrations a little rooted (literally) and tied to tradition, plus enough food and drink to make it feel like more than a token holiday nod. These are the events people are actually mentioning in group chats right now—not just the ones plastered on flyers.

Venue-wise, the usual suspects are still delivering. **Eataly Los Angeles** is doing what it does best: turning a simple “let’s grab a bite” into an accidental three-hour tour of pasta, wine, and "should we get gelato or just all of the above." **Bacari W. Adams** keeps holding down that cozy, date-night-but-still-chill energy—perfect if you want to pretend you just casually stumbled into something great. And **Learnaboutwine Classroom** is very much for the "I’m fun but also I know my tannins" crowd, where the line between class and hangout gets pleasantly blurry as the pours keep coming.

If you’re trying to decide what to actually show up for: book the Valentine’s and Super Bowl adjacent stuff early (those go fast and get chaotic in a fun way), keep the wine classroom and Eataly nights in your back pocket for midweek upgrades, and save the more reflective and festival-style events for when you want to feel like you’re discovering a different side of LA. This is what discovery looks like in Los Angeles right now: a little romantic, a little rowdy, and very, very food-and-drink obsessed.
