It’s a complex city where you can find jazz clubs, speakeasies, and plenty of aperitivo bars tucked into the same neighborhood, and each with a completely different crowd.

Here are the best cocktail bars in Los Angeles.
New this update: 80s-themed Night On Earth, Vandell, Force of Nature in Venice, Max Reis’s Daisy Margarita Bar, Real Charmer, and Bar 109 in Melrose Hill join the list.
