50 Best Cocktail Bars near La Canada Flintridge

“Fantastic service. The specialties and house signature food and drink are fabulous. I had the braised short rib and the house dirty martini. Delicious. Also please try the truffle deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. Love this place.“

“Was awesome to find a restaurant with my two favorites…GF and Southern!“

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

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

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

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“myself & wife called in without a reservation Sunday evening, Had a beautiful meal in a very busy and friendly place our waitress Tamera was absolutely awesome friendly and gave great recommendations for us being from England helping with menus information highly recommended 5 star June 2025“

“This place has been on my list for a while now and I finally got to try it out last night! Ultimately, much ado!

Couldn’t get a reservation so showed up with a couple friends and waited at the bar for about 45 minutes for a table at 7:30 on Wednesday. So I would say be prepared to wait, as it seems like is a well-known thing (one reason I delayed trying it).

At the bar, we were able to get the Vandell martini which was super good and fresh and tasty. standing at the bar was kinda odd cause you’re kind of in a busy hallway of sorts. However, the bar is super beautiful and the art is really cool and all the glasses were very pretty stacked up; decor was awesome.

We got to the table and it was a very beautiful wooden booth and that’s kind of where I just felt like it wasn’t ultimately worth the wait. generally for a place like this I guess I just thought the service would be a little different or faster in terms of like cleaning dishes away or just being friendly but definitely wasn’t that kind of energy. oh and everything was just super loud. I don’t know what the deal is with the space, but it was just really hard to hear and was just a very high volume.

We got some more drinks which were all excellent including the old-fashioned and another martini and the vesper - the drinks were definitely the highlight. We got the fries, the crudo, a citrus salad and a pea hummus. and in terms of what was best it basically went in that order. The fries were super thin and crispy and excellent, and the crudo was very fresh and delicate. The citrus salad was good at first, but it got kind of soggy because it was just a lot of fruit in there and the pea hummus was something that if I made it at home, given the texture and flavor, I would think I messed up the recipe but still, it wasn’t super bad per se.

Altogether it was all fine and it would be fine to go there and eat and have some drinks but just the wait was pretty wild and then paired with the service in terms of bartenders and servers (dude at the front desk was super nice and helpful) and the lackluster nature of food served at many spots across LA, I just felt like it doesn’t add much to the landscape in terms of the revolutionary hype around it, and probably won’t go back unless a friend really wants to go.“

“Being from out of town, I had been driving around for hours trying to find a place to eat late that wasn’t a dive or a loud party spot. I finally found Big Bar and ordered a salad and an old fashioned. It was busy and late, but the bartender didn’t seem to know how to make an old fashioned (there was no cherry or muddled orange) and the dressing in my steak salad seemed mostly oil and not much flavor. I think it was supposed to come with a roll I never got. I didn’t complain because I was just happy to be in a cozy spot and out of my car! The ambience was nice though, and staff were friendly enough. Not very impressed by other stuff. I would give it another chance if I’m in the area later.“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

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

“Amazing location! Easily the best prices around. There isn't food, just occasionally popcorn, but they don't advertise food, especially since they are surrounded by fantastic restaurants. An absolute must visit if you are in Hollywood.“

“loved! Ho see the boys working behind the bar!!“

“My favorite place wonderful food, desserts and coffee“

“One of my girlfriend's favorite spots. Plenty of seating, but it definitely gets busy. We started with the guac and chips, and the taro chips were insanely crunchy and so good. I ordered the Tremendous Burger, and it definitely lived up to the name. Juicy, flavorful, and one of those burgers I'd happily order again. The pizzas looked delicious too, so I'll definitely be back to try one. The whole staff was super friendly which made the experience even better“

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

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“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 !!“

“We celebrated a birthday here this weekend with about 50 people and Nina and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and helpful! Everyone loved the old Hollywood vibe and had such a great time lounging and bowling. I would definitely recommend celebrating your bday here or even just coming to bowl and have a cocktail!“

“We visited El Compadre to celebrate my uncle’s birthday, and overall it was a good experience. One of the highlights was definitely the famous flaming margaritas. They were fun to watch, very flavorful, and a great way to kick off the celebration.

I ordered the enchiladas, and they were rich, tasty, and very filling. The portion size was generous, and I couldn’t finish the entire plate.

The service was decent, but it took a while for the waiters to come and take our order. Also, the complimentary chips and salsa brought to the table at the beginning were disappointing. The chips tasted like old oil and had a strong oily smell, which wasn’t the best first impression.

The food and margaritas were the stars of the visit, but there is definitely room for improvement with the service and the quality of the chips.“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“recommended momed 💜️ hotel“

“great atmosphere and welcoming“

“Bring your dates and loved ones to the BEST mocktails in town! All the unique flavor creation (each drink’s appealing naming in alphabetical order, and only $9) made by the bartender/co-owner Arleo. And Chef Amber runs the all the magic in the kitchen. My favorite dish is “Bone Marrow” - fried king mushroom oyster!

We discovered this non-alcoholic bar through hosting boardgames there, so we’re inspired by the journey of this power couple putting their hearts and souls into running this business and creating their dream community.“

“Exquisite cocktails, beers, service, and clientele.!! But the real stars of the show are Nami, Gio, and Kel! The incredible staff behind the bar, who took care of me and my friend all night. I’ve always loved KTown and just moved to the area after a few years living elsewhere in LA. Last night was my first night at Normandie Bar and I’m so grateful to live a few blocks away for at least the next year. Lou the bouncer was a gem of human too. I can’t wait to be back. The pina colada is a standout, as I believe they sous vide the rum in angel’s food cake or something of the sort. Incredible selection of spirits from whiskey, tequila, mezcal, and more. I can go on and on. 10/10. Highly recommend this place!“

“Great analog music and excellent drinks. The bartenders and dj's are top shelf.“

“Outstanding experience dining here. Our server was incredible, super knowledgeable, confident, and clearly not their first rodeo with gluten-free dining. They knew every single dish inside and out, proactively pointed out shared fryer cross-contamination details, and clearly walked us through which items were fully gluten-free outside of regular soy sauce (super helpful for anyone with different tolerance levels). Finding a spot where the front-of-house understands dietary nuances that well without making it feel like a hassle is rare. Fantastic food, top-tier service, and total peace of mind. We will definitely be back.“

“Best burgers around! I drive from OC to eat these delicious burgers!“

“amazing food, service and ambiance!“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“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!“

“First time visiting and it was a great experience. Vibe is relaxed, cool to have old movies playing as well. Wings were excellent and crispy. Ryan was super personable and always tending to all customers and having conversations. Great spot no matter the occasion!“

“Recently celebrated my partner's (surprise) birthday at The Goldfish and the night couldn't have gone any better. We had EXCEPTIONAL service in their new private party space. I was able to order food in party sized platters and my custom requests (they personalized a Happy Birthday sign!) were all executed with perfect attention to detail. The ambience and food I already knew is a 10/10 as I frequent Sticky Rice. Bar, food, arcade games, billiards, they truly have everything you could need for celebrating a special occasion or just for a great night out with friends. Highly recommend. BIG FAN, thank you The Goldfish!!“

“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 spot had a cool speakeasy vibe with modern touches—surprisingly cozy for the neighborhood. The host was super friendly and gave great recommendations. Food was flavorful: mentaiko pasta, crispy rice, and tasty cocktails. Portions were generous for the price. Not too busy when we went, so we didn’t wait. Parking was easy nearby. Maybe tweak the seasoning on the pork ribs next time—they were a bit dry.“

“The Angeleno Spritz was just what I needed after a long day of minor disappointments, that and the genuine smile from the tattooed guy working the bar this evening who was refreshingly upbeat and worked the room like a pro. So glad I stopped in!“

“We've been meaning to go here since it opened and finally made it with a family member visiting from Michigan. Everything was fantastic including the drinks, seafood, and chips/guac. We plan to visit more frequently! The best part of our dining experience was when the staff reminded to go outside at the perfect time to view the lunar eclipse!“

“Love this place, such a wonderful neighborhood gem. I'm so glad they're still here. Love the daily pop ups, especially my Triple Beam pizza! Cocktails are fantastic and love the wine selection. This place is on repeat for a reason. 🧡“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Since moving from the East Coast over five years ago, my partner, our friends, and I have been coming to the Drawing Room almost every week. This bar is truly such a delight to be at! I have been coming every other day now that we are in the NBA finals!

The bartenders are always on point with the drinks and do an incredible job of making not only us, but all of the patrons, feel welcome and comfortable. I have never had a bad experience with any of the bartenders at this place! We always seem to stop by when Ashley is working, and that's no coincidence. She greets us the moment we walk in, offers snacks during major sporting events, and creates such a fun atmosphere that we never want to leave.

Ashley remembers our drink orders every time, is incredibly charismatic, and has a way of making the entire bar excited to be there. You can tell how much people love her—customers walk in, immediately give her a hug, and are genuinely excited to see she's working. It's wonderful to see such a strong local community gather here.

We can't wait to spend the summer at the Drawing Room. Thank you for being one of the most amazing neighborhood bars in Los Angeles!“

“Great music!!!! Great hang!!!!“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“Omg I spent my birthday here, and they were so amazing, attentive, helpful with the menu. The staff were absolutely delightful, plus they gave me a birthday card signed from them. I was so impressed by the presentation of the drinks and the quality of the food. My friends and I will definitely be going back!“

“Food was great our server Dominique was great!“
