- №1
Thunderbolt
Historic Filipinotown
“Mathew Biancaniello and team's zero-waste program puts it on North America's 50 Best Bars every year; the spec-forward highballs and the Ketel One Sustainable Bar Award make it LA's bartender-favorite bar.”
- №2
Mirate
Los Feliz
“Max Reis's agave program — rare mezcals, pre-Hispanic fermented drinks, and one of LA's best cocktail lists — has landed Mírate on World's 50 Best Bars' longlist and every LA publication's top-5.”
- №3
Death & Co Los Angeles
Arts District
“The NYC icon's LA outpost is the reference-point subterranean lounge; Eater and Infatuation point to the ever-evolving menu as the city's gold-standard cocktail education.”
- №4
Bar Benjamin
Melrose Hill
“The 2024 opener that every LA critic added to their 2025 rankings — intricate drinks like the tomato negroni and Sichuan-peppercorn margarita pair with one of the best restaurant burgers in town.”
- №5
Tiki-Ti
Los Feliz
“The 12-stool tiki A-frame operating since 1961 is untouchable LA picks; Ray's Mistake and the Blood & Sand are mandatory pilgrimages per Eater, Infatuation, and LA Times.”
