LA spots worth a late-night detour, picked for the food that actually hits after midnight.
West Hollywood · 7205 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046
Jones is the kind of bar that makes you feel cooler just for walking in. It’s dimly lit, a little rock ‘n’ roll, and somehow always buzzing, whether you’re there for a stiff drink, a late-night bite, or just to post up …
Silver Lake · 1920 Hyperion Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Serving margaritas since 1962, Casita del Campo is where day drinking isn’t just encouraged—it’s expected. Two patios, a giant U-shaped bar, and salsa that might just be the best in the city. If you leave sober, you did…
Highland Park · 6316 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042
Offbeat doesn't try to be anything other than a cool neighborhood watering hole. They have 90's hip hop night, 80's new wave night, and one of the best free Halloween dance parties. Live music every Wednesday and DJs ev…
Marina + Playa · 15 Washington Blvd, Venice, CA 90292
A laid‑back dive bar shrine since the ’60s, right by the beach—sawdust on the floor, pool tables clacking, and a jukebox that kicks in when the surf crowd rolls out. The star here? A char‑grilled “world‑famous” cheesebu…

Baja Cantina is a Marina classic—half beach bar, half time capsule—serving fat burritos, cheap margaritas, and sizzling fajitas since 1975. The patio’s newly revamped, the crowd’s a sun-kissed mix of locals and surfers,…
Los Feliz · 4500 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027
Rustic charm meets chef-driven flair at this all-day eatery. Think fresh oysters, hearty classics, and cocktails made to keep the neighborhood buzzing from brunch to late night. Don’t sleep on the smoked Bloody Mary!
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.
Hermosa Beach · 53 Pier Ave, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
Beach‑town hangout and bar just off the Hermosa Pier where the second‑floor deck feels like someone’s surf shack‑meets‑watering hole, all vintage boards, local art, and cool breezes. It’s the kind of place you wander in…
