What's in this collection

  1. Bar Henry

    Echo Park · 1228 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    Bar Henry keeps things simple and classy, and that’s why it works. With cocktails this good, vinyl spinning in the background, and a laid-back vibe that feels like your rich NYC friend’s living room, it’s a perfect go-t…

  2. 1642

    Echo Park · 1642 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    There’s a worn upright piano by the door, wax pooling in wine bottles on every table, and a bartender who’ll pour you a Spanish red while naming five albums that pair with it. The crowd is a quiet mix of off-duty musici…

  3. Bar Bandini

    Echo Park · 2150 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    This dusky, natural wine bar is the kind of place where you swear you’re just having one, but three pét-nats later you’re earnestly pitching an app design you outlined on a napkin. The candles are low, the pours are gen…

  4. Thunderbolt

    Echo Park · 1263 W Temple St, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    An easygoing bar where the cocktails are creative without trying too hard, and the Southern-inspired food keeps you ordering one more round. It's a great place for a party or just to sip at the bar by yourself.

  5. Bar Flores

    Echo Park · 1542 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    A dreamy upstairs bar with a lush back patio that smells incredible (no one knows why, but we’re not questioning it). The sangria is dangerously good—so much so that it deserves a medal, or at least a warning label.

  6. Bar Bacetti

    Echo Park · 1507 Echo Park Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    Step into a sun-dialed corner of Echo Park gone full Italian afternoon: rich-green walls, a stone bar that looks like mortadella, and a vintage espresso machine gleaming like it knows all your secrets. It’s the kind of …

  7. The Semi-Tropic

    Echo Park · 1412 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    A neighborhood spot that covers all bases: couches for lingering, cocktails that don’t disappoint, and a kitchen that stays open late with surprisingly solid bar bites. Whether you’re here for a coffee, a drink, or just…

  8. The Douglas

    Echo Park · 1400 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    An Echo Park staple that turns fully blue once baseball season hits. On game nights it’s wall-to-wall Dodgers fans, $5 beers in hand, TVs locked in, and strangers high-fiving like they’ve known each other since Little L…

  9. Lowboy

    Echo Park · 1540 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

    A dive bar with just the right amount of grooming.. Lowboy nails the Highland Park brief: retro booths, punchy lighting, a cocktail menu that includes a mezcal old-fashioned, and a clientele that looks like the casting …

  10. Crawfords

    Echo Park · 2616 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057

    A dive bar that nails the essentials: cold beer, a pool table that’s seen some things, and a basket of fried chicken that slaps. It’s the kind of place where regulars don’t flinch when someone breaks out into karaoke un…
