Discover the 21 Hottest Bars in L.A. Right Now

By Andrea Richards

Debaucherous nights don’t have to leave you hurting; the new L.A. nightlife is all about imbibing high-quality, highly curated ingredients in fantastic locations that aren’t isolated by velvet ropes. Nothing is more passé than exclusivity—it seems the entire city has tired of scenes, bad behavior and bottle service. Instead, the hottest bars are all about community, from communal tables and retro games to menus that support locally made spirits, beers and wines. For a fun and enlightened night out, look no further.

Master Mixologists Go Veggie-Friendly

Thanks to innovative bartenders, cocktails might be good for more than just our mental health—there’s a healthy dose of vegetables being deployed in those shakers.

New York import Apotheke, a stylish joint in Chinatown where bartenders don white lab coats, augments alcohol’s medicinal value, mixing eucalyptus-infused tequila, mezcal, lime, a honeydew-spirulina puree and habanero bitters into its most popular cocktail, the Greenseer, which has the microgreen Bull’s Blood as a garnish (consider it a salad!). The extensive cocktail menu focuses on housemade ingredients, many of which are vegetable or herbal infusions.

Taking things a few steps further is Kevin Lee, the creative mastermind and head bartender behind downtown’s newly opened The Wolves, who makes all his own amari, liqueurs, bitters and vermouths from seasonal produce.

Eschewing commercially produced spirits means the freshest of ingredients, and Lee’s cocktails are truly singular. His Mostly Carrots combines lavender rose vermouth, juniper cordial, carrot liqueur, yuzu bitters and aromatic bitters (all homemade) with fresh lemon and soda and receives a final spritz of “pine fragrance” from one of the many small, hand-labeled bottles atop the bar. It’s no gimmick; the drink is perfectly balanced and as exquisite as the setting—a 1911 annex to the once-grand Alexandria Hotel that has been restyled to evoke the Belle Époque.

In December, a smaller upstairs bar will open as Le Néant, hosting intimate, omakase-inspired experiences. Here, Lee will create cocktails based on guest preferences using a list of curated farmers market ingredients that will change as the micro-seasons do.

Cocktails Take Flight

Omakase-style cocktail service, where guests receive a progression of drinks based on “bartender’s choice,” is the primary draw at The Walker Inn, a speakeasy-styled bar located within Koreatown’s Normandie Club that was among the first in L.A. to adopt the practice. There are two nightly seatings for this reservation-only trip through six to seven courses of creative cocktails (accompanied by small snacks) that follows both seasonality and the staff’s creative whims.

Similarly, Bar Centro at the SLS Beverly Hills (which is currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary) hosts “Bazaar Flights,” a bartender-led six-cocktail tasting menu that features whimsical and interactive presentations. One of the innovative drinks is even made using a recipe for milk punch originating from Benjamin Franklin.

In Malibu, Eat Your Drink author Matthew Biancaniello’s newly opened Mon-Li serves an intimate, 12-person, 12-course liquid tasting menu, where one can enjoy the cocktail chef’s delicious, seasonally inspired creations along with fantastic ocean views.

Vinyl Spinners

Some evenings are made for sampling cocktails and records at the same time, so, fortunately, a slew of new places inspired by Japanese hi-fi coffee shops and whiskey bars have landed in L.A.

The cozy and midcentury-styled In Sheep’s Clothing, in the Arts District, opens in the morning as a coffee shop and then transitions at night into a full-service bar. Guests are asked to keep conversations low and not to take photographs so that everyone has a chance to engage in communal listening.

Highland Park’s newly opened Gold Line is a bar actually owned by a record company (Stones Throw Records) that features a top-flight vintage hi-fi sound system and a collection of 7,500 vinyl records from label founder Peanut Butter Wolf.

Located above the 800 Degrees pizzeria in Hollywood is the diminutive Sunset & Vinyl, a 1970s-inspired lounge where no more than 35 people at a time drink cocktails designed specifically for the grooves. Guests here are invited to bring along hits from their own record collections.

Rec Rooms

Beyond listening parties, there are plenty of other communal pursuits that allow patrons to play more than the field. Vintage arcade games, pinball, lawn games and even shuffleboard offer a chance to interact over drinks—and, of course, an opportunity to show off high scores.

The latest incarnation of the “barcade” is Walt’s Bar, a folksy, corner bar in Eagle Rock that advertises fine wine and hot dogs on hand-painted signs. The long wooden bar is a great place to knock back a beer from a local brewer (rotating offerings from Mumford, Highland Park Brewery and Long Beach’s Beachwood Blendery are all on tap)— that is, if you can pull yourself away from a pinball machine long enough to finish it.

Echo Park’s popular Button Mash also has an extensive list of local beers, plus pinball and some 40 golden-age arcade cabinets. If the din of blips and bleeps isn’t strong enough, knock down pins at the historic Highland Park Bowl, a gorgeous refurbished bowling alley with steampunk style, wood-fired pizza and themed cocktails. Or try The Spare Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt, a gaming parlor with two vintage bowling lanes and plenty of strong drinks.

Locally Made Spirits

To savor local flavor, take a tour of one of Los Angeles’ distilleries. The first craft distillery in L.A. since Prohibition, Greenbar Distillery, in the Arts District, shows its hometown pride on every bottle of its small-batch, organic spirits with the tagline “Made in the City of Angels.” Greenbar showcases local produce and L.A. flavors to capture the city’s cultural terroir, and sales support nonprofit initiatives like feeding the hungry and planting trees. Visitors can tour the distillery or take a class in craft cocktail making.

Also in the Arts District, Lost Spirits Distillery offers two-hour tours—complete with a Willy Wonka-esque boat ride—plus a tasting of its rums and malts by reservation only.

The Future Is Female

Thankfully, gender equity in the hospitality industry has become a concern patrons are paying attention to, and the best way to support it is by frequenting women-owned establishments.

Earlier this year, three friends and businesswomen opened Genever, an art deco-styled lounge in Historic Filipinotown whose menu celebrates the history of women-run speakeasies, fresh ingredients, Filipino flavors and, of course, gin.

In Little Tokyo, using spirits from women-run distilleries is important to The Mermaid owners Katie Kildow and Arelene Roldan, whose newest venture is a fanciful, underwater-themed space serving tropical cocktails, local beers and wine.

Block Parties

The sport of barhopping in L.A. used to be akin to island-hopping—traversing great distances to land at an isolated destination. But today, the city is more connected—and more walkable—than ever before, thanks to a focus on locality.

Avoiding traffic and sticking to the neighborhood lets you turn every evening into a block party. Bars, restaurants and coffee shops are moving in close proximity to one another so all needs can be taken care of in a single block, like the one in Highland Park that boasts Highland Park Wine—a shop from the Silverlake Wine team—Triple Beam Pizza, restaurant Hippo and coffee shop Go Get Em Tiger.

Also in Highland Park, the aptly named Block Party—a modern beer garden that boasts a huge, sunny patio—serves craft beers and vino from small-production winemakers. The picnic tables and shuffleboard set invite guests to hang as a community, and food is welcomed from outside vendors (on Thursday nights, vendors sell vegan food all along York Boulevard). Similarly, on the Westside, the newly opened Broxton is a brewpub from Artisanal Brewers Collective that boasts something for everyone—even kids.

Perhaps the most elegant example of a space attempting to connect communities appears in one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, Union Station, which just welcomed the train-themed Imperial Western Beer Co., from 213 Hospitality, where travelers and locals come together in true beer-hall fashion for inhouse-brewed craft beer. Sharing space in the historic train depot is The Streamliner, a dramatic bar from the team behind the Varnish that aims to offer “finer, faster cocktails” at an affordable price. A delicious and more democratic gimlet? Yes, please.

1970s photos capture a vanishing LA

Roger Steffens began taking photographs on the eve of the Tet Offensive, as soldiers descended from the sky.

His instinct to start snapping photos grew into one of several life callings for the actor, writer, and archivist. Fifty years later, and after several relocations around central LA, Steffens has collected hundreds of thousands of images of Los Angeles that immortalize ephemeral moments in an ever-evolving city.

“I learned what was most important to me in life,” he says of that day in Vietnam, where he served as a staff sergeant with the Army. “I had enough time to run back to my barracks and save what was most important, and it was my slides, my tape recordings, and—I had a handlebar mustache at the time—a tube of French mustache wax.”

To date, Steffens has taken almost 40,000 images. Most of them are nothing short of historic.

Steffens’s daughter Kate has made a business out of disseminating her father’s photographs, releasing several photo books under the name The Family Acid, lifted from an affectionate moniker for the family’s bohemian escapades, and running an Instagram account of the same name.

This summer, the Steffenses will release their fourth book, made up of photos of the Golden State.

Among shots of Timothy Leary mid-sentence and afternoons at the famed Malibu Colony and Grand Central Market pre-Egg Slut are depictions of a Los Angeles that time is slowly forgetting.

Pantry Cafe in Downtown LA, September 1977.

Steffens’s photos capture Los Angeles as only locals know it. The LA that surfaces once a cakey layer of “the industry’s” foundation is wiped away, revealing a canvas ripe for painting underneath.

“It’s a fascinating city,” he muses. “I have always kept my camera with me when I left the house because you never know what you’re going to see. The sides of buses, the Hollywood Sign being turned into Hollyweed. You know, all the things that catch your eye when you leave the house.”

The Steffenses have dined, drunk, and tripped acid with some of the most prominent figures in 20th century history. They live in a modest home in Echo Park that’s painted a bright, arresting turquoise with reggae stripe accents, and it houses one of the most significant reggae and Bob Marley archives in the world.

It’s a common phenomenon in LA. Behind any given house, hedge, or eccentric fence in this city there might be a world-class museum, archive, or architectural relic.

The beauty of Los Angeles is that as much as they are unique, the Steffens and their family home are not an anomaly.

Just a few blocks away from them stands the Tom of Finland Foundation, shrouded by a curtain of well-groomed hedges. A few hills over is the Garbutt house, currently owned by ex-American Apparel mogul Dov Charney, but once home to an avant-garde art collection. Around the corner is the LA River—less glamorous, but no less filled with art and its ghosts.

Flipper’s Roller Rink.

Steffens’s photos compel you to look at these seemingly ordinary, every-day fixtures of Los Angeles a second time, to search for the whimsy, the humor, and spontaneous juxtapositions that this city offers up. Be it in the form of houses, sidewalk art, or decorative water main covers.

“I hope that people who see my photos get an appreciation for the ephemerality of life,” Steffens says.

“LA has so many constantly changing features. Not just the obvious ones like construction—out with the old and in with the new—but sidewalk stencils, bus benches with ads on them, murals, nature. I mean, this is a very rich city for visuals. Ray Charles could get a great roll,” he says, laughing.

Ever since the ban on murals was lifted in 2013, it’s only grown richer.

“Over the years, LA has become more and more intriguing as a photographic subject. For a while it was basically the Sunset Strip,” Steffens says, acknowledging the visual smorgasbord now available to Angelenos as world-class muralists like J.R. and Shepard Fairey, and local artists alike, color the city.

“Murals take away the industrial drabness of functional buildings and turn them into canvases filled with great imagination, the things that make you see the world in a very different way,” Steffens says.

For Kate Steffens though, it’s growing harder and harder to see the good old days of LA among the high-gloss-neutrals of gentrification.

“When I’m in Echo Park, I see a lot of ghosts,” she says. “Looking at dad’s photos, they speak for me to sort of the last time that people could live a working class or artistic life inexpensively.”

Kate’s not alone in that sentiment.

Alison Martino, a local historian who celebrated one of her single-digit birthdays at Flipper’s Roller Rink, one of the Sunset Strip attractions appearing in Steffens’s collections, says the city is losing its character as it grows ever more tech-based and development-heavy.

“What you lose when you lose those buildings is charm and character and individuality. Nothing has any significance to history. It’s an architectural nervous breakdown,” she says. “Too much new, new, new.”

The way to save more of these buildings, whimsical street-art, photorealistic murals?

“Photography is everything,” Martino says.

Watts Towers.

Steffens’s photos capture a distinct moment in LA’s history—a time when Ocean Park was becoming Dogtown, when Silverlake was torn between working class communities and the influx of a galvanized LGBTQ scene, when teenagers had curfews along the Strip.

It was a time that wasn’t necessarily better—Kate and Roger both were weary about donning rose-colored glasses that tint the past a nostalgic shade of “better”—but a time when, for many, progress felt imminent, and the relics of which are slowly disappearing.

In a city that’s constantly being made over, photographic records of LA’s past are essential reminders both of what LA has been and what it could be once again.

“I hope these photographs inspire people to live differently,” Kate says. “I hope they inspire people to take a look at the fact that there are a lot of people living alternative lifestyles in LA, and there’s room for that... I look at his pictures as something to try and achieve again.”

9 cool things to do any day in Los Angeles

Photos courtesy of Shuttershock and Instagram. Original article by Bianca Barragan & Jenna Chandler.

Entertaining guests or looking for something to do? Check out some of our favorite picks for “anytime” places to visit around LA...from cultural institutions to architecture, parks, and beautiful spaces both indoor and out. Enjoy!

1. The Getty

Completely funded by oilman J. Paul Getty's trust and designed by Richard Meier, the Getty is one of the most breathtaking places in Los Angeles. Meier's light-colored marble buildings bob and weave, up and down, among pools, fountains, and a circular garden designed by Robert Irwin, all on top of a ridge high above the 405 freeway with 360-degree views. Plus you get to take a funicular up there.

While here, check out “Happy Birthday, Mr. Hockney,” a collection of the British artist’s self portraits and photographs from the 1980s in celebration of his 80th birthday. David Hockney—best known for his paintings of LA swimming pools—was deeply tied to our city, and he did “more than any artist to fashion ... its visual identity.” The Getty and its exhibits are free except for parking

2. Ferndell Trail

One of the shadiest and best kept secrets in all of Griffith Park, Fern Dell is a local gem. As the name implies, it’s lined with ferns, and it follows a stream that’s still flowing pretty well after a wet winter. It’s perfect for strolling, as it’s not strenuous, and it leads straight to the delightful and rustic The Trails Cafe, where you’ll find homemade pies, sandwiches, scones, and the best-ever granola. From there, continue hiking up to the Griffith Observatory.

3. Hollyhock House

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House—his first house in Los Angeles—recently reopened to the public after a big restoration. The house represents not just a beautiful, Wright creation but also a "germination of what I think you can easily say became California Modernism," Hollyhock House curator Jeffrey Herr told Curbed LA last year. The goal was to take the house back to as close an approximation as possible of how it looked in 1921, when it was completed; the house features the plaster, elaborate ceiling moldings, and accordion glass doors that it was intended to have.

Furnished with a mix of original furniture and detailed reproductions, the house is still a work in progress, but has made incredible strides in its restoration process. The house is open for self-guided tours Thursday through Sunday each week; standard admission is $7.

4. Malibu Wines Tasting Room

If you're looking for a scene, look no farther than Malibu Wines, where on Saturdays and Sundays you can join throngs of hipsters and young women in flower crowns sipping rosé and listening to live (usually acoustic) music on the vineyard's lawns. It's totally free to picnic, so bring in your own cheese and crackers. Tasting flights cost about $15 and a bottle will set you back about $30.

5. Dodger Stadium

Look, even if you're not a Dodger's fan or even a baseball fan in general, there's one really good reason to take in a game at LA's ballpark: the sunsets. Legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully described them many times in many ways, but his most famous line was, “A cotton-candy sky with a canopy of blue—looks good enough to eat.” Yum. Before you go, check out this snazzy guide to the stadium.

6. Los Angeles State Historic Park

After being closed for more than three years, this Chinatown park has reopened with a whole new look. A $20-million renovation has given the park a stunning pedestrian walkway, picnic areas, wetlands, a public fruit orchard, and an elevated lookout point. The park's also added two permanent structures: a ranger station and a welcome center and bathrooms. The park is open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset.

7. Oak Glen

This San Bernardino County town is not in Los Angeles, but it’s such a fun fall destination that we won’t hold geography against it. Much like the San Diego County mountain town of Julian, Oak Glen is famous for its apple ranches. It’s hard to recommend just one apple orchard in Oak Glen, because there are so many to choose from, so maybe just make a day of hitting up as many as possible.

The quaint burg is about a 90-minute drive east of Downtown, and just east of Yucaipa, but definitely worth the time spent on the 10 freeway. There are a number of U-Pick orchards for apples—just call ahead to make sure there are apples left—plus apple pie, cider tastings, and much cooler temperatures for that real fall feeling. (Oak Glen is located at an elevation of about 4,700 feet, so bring a jacket just in case.)

8. The Last Bookstore

Get cozy among the books at this independent bookstore, one of many in Los Angeles. As LA Weeklynotes, “its stunning in-store design” with “books forming gravity-defying arches and typewritten scrolls acting as flowing overhead banners” is as much of a draw as its used book collection. Housed in an old bank, The Last Bookstore is huge, and its inventory includes all sorts of genres, plus vinyl records.

9. Exposition Park

You could spend a full day in Exposition Park—visit the California Science Center (which has the space shuttle Endeavour and an Imax theater), the California African American Museum, and the Natural History Museum, meander through the beautiful rose garden, and wander around the instantly identifiable Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
