Dublin's in WeHo wasn't worth raving about, but expect improvements in the Downtown iteration. Over 100 beers on tap, most of them $3. Expect plenty of fratty shenanigans, but...that's what comes w... read more

The Falls

Brought to you by the woman behind The Woods, so no surprise that it's rather, well, woodsy. Kitschy outdoorsy vibe continues here. A wall of logs here, a digital waterfall there. Drinks with names... read more

Exchange LA

The Exchange was once the LA stock exchange, built in 1929 (tough luck). They put in about a gajillion dollars remodeling it; now it's a huge cavern of excesses. Dance floor is the main event, balc... read more

Cana Rum Bar at the Doheny

Sure, this is kind of a club, in that you have to pay a one-time $20 charge to get you (and your group) in. But rumor is that's just because the venue is zoned as a club. As the name indicates, thi... read more

Down & Out

The new bar at this efficiency hotel has a few flashy features now, like TVs and a cordoned-off patio, but it's still Skid Row-adjacent. So things can get pretty exciting, especially if the crowd's... read more

Corkbar

Large informal space pours a respectable lineup of California wines (40+ by the glass) and many more by the bottle. Casual and friendly can also mean packed and deafening, but if you can score a de... read more
