Downtown LA's iconic whiskey bar. Can't go wrong with an Old Fashioned, but I prefer any whiskey-ginger/ginger beer concoction the bartenders can whip up. Bonus points for the moose head.
Tequila. Need I say more? Part of my 6th St Trifecta with The Association and The Varnish.
Hollywood feel without the traffic to get there. Could have better lighting though.
When you've got visitors and you really want to make them jealous of your city, knock on the door at the back of Cole's. They'll be amazed, and you'll look like a bad ass.
Less pub, more place to get cheap choice brews! Shmooze the owner (or mention you went to SC), and you may find yourself with a free drink...
Admittedly a little cliché, but the view is breathtaking and makes you really feel like you're in LA.
A hipster haven in the heart of mainstream Hollywood! The tatted up bartenders can make random drinks and shooters out of "whatever's lying around."
Great dive that charmingly feels like a dive. Sketchy characters, jovial bartenders (who can probably throw a mean punch), and shuffleboard. Yes, there's PBR. It is in Culver City after all...
