50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hollywood

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“Date night here was so perfect! We loved grilling together, and making our own tacos was adorable and fun. The atmosphere was vibey, with music not too loud, so we could still chat. The staff was sweet, checking in without being too much. Prices were reasonable, considering the quality of the meat. We both left full and happy.. Such a cute spot.“

“Wonderful fresh food. Friendly attentive service without hovering. Dani, the manager gave us great advice for other places to eat while we were out for the day.“

“We had an awesome date night at Amour WeHo. We started with caviar, escargot, and frog legs. We followed that with the burger and a Caesar salad with lobster. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our dinner. The service was outstanding. All of the staff was great. This was our first visit and we are so happy that we found this place. We will be back soon.“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Fashionable place for not just ramen, but gyoza and self-made hand rolls.

Dimly-lit, medium-spaced tables, service is good but a bit overwhelmed when they're at capacity (which is often!). Parking is limited on the street but doable.

Have to say the NYC location is better, but honestly would need to do another visit to confirm. Distinctly remember the self-made hand rolls in particular being quite good in New York and not nearly as memorable here.“

“Great food and friendly service“

“Farmhouse kitchen is the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever had. On top of the food being great and delicious, the presentation makes you want to order everything from the menu. Chef Bo was so nice to come out to our table and all I can say is she was a very nice, young & talented person. She even made me a special dessert for my birthday. Thanks Bo❤️ I highly recommend this place if you want an authentic, excellent and delicious food. In addition, the place is so full of life. The decor is amazing! I can’t wait to go back and try some of the fancy drinks and dishes on the menu.“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“Great service , great ambience, great margarita drinks overall, an awesome place with outdoor patio. Just beautiful.“

“Good Clean Fun isn’t just a wine bar, it’s a Downtown institution. Ian and his team have cultivated something truly special: a space that consistently delivers exceptional natural wines, beautifully fresh food, and an atmosphere that feels effortlessly joyful.

What sets GCF apart is its reliability in delight. I’ve celebrated birthdays here, lingered on date nights, raised toasts at farewell parties, attended themed Good Clean Fun events, and each visit has been a masterclass in hospitality. The wine is always exciting and thoughtfully curated, the food is bright, seasonal, and satisfying, and the energy? Unfailingly warm and convivial.

Ian’s passion for what he does is infectious. He’s not just pouring wine , he’s telling stories, sharing discoveries, and creating community. It’s this blend of curiosity and care that keeps the experience fresh while always feeling like home.

Thank you GCF, for being my go-to for great wine, great company, and creating greater memories.“

“Great Food, Disappointing Service — A Missed Opportunity

Saltie Girl has a well-earned reputation for exceptional food, and in that regard, it delivered. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was flavorful and beautifully presented — the oysters, in particular, were a standout.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the service.

After ordering a bottle of wine, it took over 20 minutes for our server to return, only to inform us that the manager would be retrieving the wine. Another 10 minutes passed before she reappeared — not with the wine we ordered, but with a different, more expensive bottle. Rather than apologizing for the mix-up or offering it at the original price as a courtesy, the switch was presented matter-of-factly. A gesture of goodwill here would have gone a long way.

To make matters worse, our oyster order was mishandled — not once, but twice — with incorrect counts and missing varieties. For a restaurant that charges premium prices, these details matter. Guests expect not only excellent food, but also attentive, polished service to match.

In the end, the meal was delicious, but the experience left a bitter aftertaste. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and invests in training their staff. As much as I enjoyed the food, I won’t be returning until the service rises to the level of the kitchen. Dining here should feel seamless — not like a constant series of corrections.“

“nice place guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“🐅🐅🐅🐅 yum yummy.. crying tiger so good“

“Amazing place!! Do yourself a favor and go! Make it“

“I recently revisited and was wondering why I didn't come at least every month here. This place has one of the best cocktails and vibes, but I always appreciate the bartenders' level of service and especially huge shout out to Daniel.
Daniel took care of us with utmost care with a single goal of making me and and my friend happy. My friend had a pretty particular taste and Daniel listened in and went out of his way to make a delicious drink.
Definitely love talking to the other folks at the bar. Highly recommend who wants great drinks, kind/fun bartenders, and just a good time overall.
Thanks again Daniel!“

“A great meal to celebrate our 8th grader’s MS graduation and my FIL’s 75th birthday! Thankful, too, for the Katz family’s support of our school’s fundraiser back in April - we were able to use a gift card we had won at that event.

Definitely a “seen and be seen” kind of vibe, but we did not feel out of place at all and the service was warm and welcoming and super accommodating of both our youngest son’s allergies and our large party. Thank you so much, especially Katrina who was patient and attentive throughout our meal.

Rolls were delicious, the whole crispy fish was a showstopper, and the drinks were perfect. All in all, a superb evening!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“I absolutely love coming here, the bartenders Grant and Miguel are so unbelievably kind and always give the best recommendations! their drinks are delicious, prices on par for LA bars, and honestly some of the smoothest tequila I’ve ever tried. Grant has the best playlist, a lot of 90s hip hop and r&b, it is the key reason I keep coming here and will continue to do so. My only wish is that they reopen the club section soon, I’d love to have more dancing room. 10/10 all around, give it a try :)“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Beautifully situated on harbor. All seafood which means it will be pricey especially appetizers. Somewhat limited menu but what we had was well prepared. Could have used scallops on menu. If someone in your party does mot eat shellfish or fish they are SOL.“

“Brianna was our server tonight and she was absolutely amazing ! Such a joy to talk with and she recommended some of her favorites entrees to my family and I. The food was delicious ! The atmosphere was a vibe based on the ambiance and the awesome DJ!! My family and I were in town from Alabama and we enjoyed every minute at STK! We had filet steaks , Ny Strip, salmon, bacon mac n cheese , classic Mac n cheese, and brussel sprouts. Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back and hope to see our amazing server Brianna.“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Beverly Hills. THE BEST PHILLY CHEESESTEAK AND CHIPS🤌🏾

You can get the matu cheesesteak during lunch or dinner hours, but ONLY at the bar!!! So first come first serve seating (waitlist). Or, you can order it to go if you don’t want to wait for a spot at the bar.

Beautiful restaurant and ambience. Great drinks and customer service. Though I’ve never dined during dinner to try other items on the menu, the cheesesteak is enough to keep me coming back!

Ps, I don’t believe they serve fries—chips only.“

“Great crowd around the pool table! Right between a dispensary AND a Japanese infused, vegan hotdog joint!“

“Great place and atmosphere! Visited from Ohio back in March for our wedding. Tyler was super friendly to us!“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“Food only got 2 stars because I didn't have any. I think they had snacks, but I'm not sure. There was an amazing taco spot right across the street, though! But service was good evening with the crowd and I loved the atmosphere. Very chill vibe and nothing to fancy. Definitely a good hang out spot but don't dress like a bum. Be cute casual!“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“Good food in casual friendly local restaurant & nice bar hangout ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“we're just leaving Black Rabbit. kudos to the chef. The food was amazing especially though pad Thai and Patsy and drunken noodles. The service was fantastic. our host when we got there was Jackson he was fun, tremendous personality and provided great service. The Magic show was Amazing, hilarious and captivating. We definitely highly recommend the Black Rabbit !!“

“Went to The Three Clubs for my birthday and had a great time. Lovely atmosphere that reminds me of a speakeasy. Music was great with some old and new stuff. My bartender Daniel was wonderful and made some really yummy drinks and shots and made my experience awesome. I will absolutely come back another time.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Went on a Thursday night. Honestly I had a great experience. Not sure about these other people Lisa and Vince are extremely nice and welcoming you can tell they care about their customers. The drinks are good and strong. The food is also good. No complaints would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be coming back again

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“Always a good time there!“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Just had an amazing 40th birthday celebration here and can't recommend it highly enough. We priced out a ton of venues, particularly in Los Feliz/Silver Lake where we live, and Spare Room was hands down the best option and worth the 'schlep' from our side of town. Great cocktails, stellar pre-order food options (you can order there but for bigger groups it's worth pre-ordering), the bowling was a super fun activity to keep people entertained, and all of the servers were very attentive and friendly. Whether you're looking to host a party or just a fun night out with friends, Spare Room should be on your short list for sure. Also the hidden photo-booth! Always a sucker for fun details like that.“

“Best cocktails in LA, beautiful space with matching beautiful people. Loved this place in New York for years, and this place brings an LA vibe to that legendary bar!“

“New favorite. The yellow Japanese Common tableware plates !“
