Northeast L.A., Los Angeles · bar
Dark wood, moody lighting, a long sleek bar, and a crowd that doubles when the Pacific Electric concert venue next door has a show. The drinks are serious—palo-santo-smoked Negroni, tomato-water 50/50 martini—and the tiny handroll menu is better than it needs to be: order the caviar-toro temaki at $28 and skip the nigiri.
