Suggestions for Cocktail Bar near Central City East, Los Angeles

Jennifer • September 3, 2014The best bar in Los Angeles. Go on a weekday, chat with the knowledgable staff, and enjoy a fantastic cocktail. I love anything with creme de violette - try something new!

Courtney C. • October 24, 2011Best bloody mary in downtown. Hands down.

Karl H. • July 1, 2012Great cocktails and incredible specials! Get the Pisco Sour and wake up in Peru.

IrmaZandl Z. • October 29, 2018I had high expectations. Good cocktails but odd menu (eg fried onion rings). Can’t tell if they’re getting on the speakeasy trend super late or they’re on a new wave. Everything a bit off

Doug d. • January 20, 2019Groovy tunes, dusty pinks, warm gold tones, floral wall paper, sexy female wall art, and arched ceilings create a sophisticated, feminine vibe. Bartender was charming and stirred a fine Martini.

Karla M. • March 31, 2013David host/owner is amazing! Everything on the menu is amazing! Every cocktail IS amazing!!! Everyone is a true passionate at what they do! Can't speak more highly of any place.

Bianca • July 16, 2022Best cocktails in town, so far. Check the menu, there is a cocktail for every mood and taste.

Jason • August 26, 2018Pop by between 5pm and 8pm for daily happy hour, which includes $1 off beer and wine, $6 wells, and deals on food.

The Artificial • November 27, 2017This whiskey bar has a great selection of whiskey and cocktails with an atmosphere to match. Live music, billiards, and old-school library decor make this one of the classiest watering holes.

DowntownLA.com • May 26, 2011We're big fans of: 1) historic venues, 2) classic cocktails, and 3) live jazz and standards. So this is a WIN-WIN-WIN for us -- and for you. Stop by every Friday & Saturday night for live music.

Janelle J. • April 9, 2014The bartenders here are amazing and the East End on the rocks is a delicious cocktail.

Eater • July 13, 2016This subterranean Chinese pub has great craft beer and baijiu cocktails to keep the party going, but you can also opt for some house made noodles, dumplings, or soup, if you're in the mood.

Rachel K. • September 2, 2018Cocktails favor vodka and tequila as the base spirit, so a little different than most tiki places. Probably a better daytime drinking spot than a nighttime one.

Jon M. • October 21, 2014This is a really cool spot! Brand new in 2014, it is housed underneath the original Los Angeles Bank of America HQ from the early 1920s! Good vibes, drinks, and times! You HAVE to see the vault!!

Raffa R. • December 7, 2014Lash is downtown LA's sweet spot for a clash of class, sass and pizazz. The music is a great and the characters that dance to it. Love it!

Veronica C. • July 16, 2018Perfect spot to catch up with friends over a tasty cocktail with author-themed names, my favorite, the Hemingway Daiquiri. Books will surround you, the place lives up to the name! Crowded at night.

Casi G. • November 15, 2013Bubbles & Brats: Bottomless Mimosas Every Sunday Downtown LA's newest pop-up for German sausages now features bottomless mimosa Sundays for $12.

Natalia K. • September 21, 2019The bar next door to a theater you want to go to while waiting for a concert to start. Perfect cocktails!

Dylan S. • October 25, 2014Grab a cocktail and people watch at the Ace.
