The glam of the 1970s is alive at this new downtown disco and cocktail club

Hidden next to a pizzeria, just bordering Little Tokyo is one of L.A.’s sleekest new bars. The beverage program at De La Nonna focuses on natural wine, although there also are a handful of cocktails designed to be served quickly due to the popularity of the restaurant: The Negroni Garbaggio, a holdover from the pizzeria’s pop-up days, features whatever open bottles of liquor work well in the drink, premixed and poured into a bottle for quick execution, while there’s always a cocktail batched and on tap too. Like the track lists, those spinning will vary constantly too: Eric Tucker, co-owner of Virgil Village’s Melody Wine Bar and a former DJ, will be taking up a monthly residency at the disco, while familiar local DJs Jeremy Sole and Jo La Tengo also will make appearances. “A lot of my love of music has stemmed from disco and that era,” said Cordon, “also the glam era, the music, the style, the clothing — just the feeling that was around during that time is what we’re trying to encapsulate between the two spaces. I feel like that era of music and that time really let people know it was OK to just have fun again.” The Let’s Go!
