50 Best Cocktail Bars near La Crescenta Montrose

“Casa Cordoba is a true Spanish culinary gem! My fiancée and I had an unforgettable evening, transported to Spain from the moment we stepped inside. The vibrant ambiance, fueled by live flamenco music and dance, added an enchanting touch to our dining experience. The food was exceptional--we savored the special tasting menu featuring four delightful tapas of our choice plus dessert for a reasonable $65. Each dish was a masterpiece, with the ham croquets stealing the spotlight. The owner's personal touch, greeting every guest despite the packed restaurant, added warmth to the evening. Richard, our server, was a standout with his infectious laugh and impeccable service, making us feel like VIPs. The restaurant's authentic design, from décor to table settings, completed the immersive experience. Casa Cordoba is a must-visit whether you're a foodie, music lover, or seeking a memorable night out. We're eagerly anticipating our next visit!“

“Great dining in a beautiful atmosphere. The service was very attentive. The food was spectacular and the cocktails were fantastic. Great selection of mezcals, tequila, and other Mexican alcohol. The portions of food are definitely to be shared.“

“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.“

“This is an L.A. bar with an NYC feel…post gentrification. A good place for an intimate situation or for bein’ a gaggle of gays and theys. Not sure about the pricing as I was treated to my libations, but the service was friendly. I appreciated the attentiveness. They have high tops on one side and soft seating on the other with bar seating in between the two.“

“It’s an amazing over all experience. Great to take a group of friends to share the experience with and the food share style is fun . The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is amazing . The atmosphere is a cool chill vibe that is welcoming and it matches its cool aesthetics“

“This place is interesting. Upon arriving we were told they wouldn’t seat us until our whole party was there which was interesting because there was no wait otherwise (we were missing 1/3 people. I got a cold brew with a little oatmilk and vanilla and it was solid. I ordered the chicken biscuit and had asked if I could add American cheese to it because I saw their other biscuit had it but was told that they couldn’t give me a (1) slice of cheese because it’s reserved for another dish on the menu….. (the other biscuit) so the waiter suggested preserves which I went with and it was most of the flavor for the chicken biscuit. The chicken was nice and crunchy, the biscuit itself was warm and soft but ultimately dry without any sauce. I loved the Filipino inspired dishes on their menu. My wife had the breakfast burrito with longanisa in it and she loved it“

“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.“

“We've been here for dinner and brunch. One word: Exceptional in every way: Fantastic setting. Great service. Incredible menu and delicious food. Lovely Hwood views. Perfect ambiance, design and decor. Gorgeous decks, landscaping and rooftop lounge areas, restaurant and bar. Lemon Grove is one of my favorite places in all of LA. Just go. Grab a weekend brunch, go for dinner or just for a rooftop bar lounge and and drink. (Unlike some other roof top bars/restaurants in LA, this one has zero attitude - from either the staff and crowd. Just friendly, chill and pleasant. A+“

“We had a perfect dining experience there. I had a wonderful mezcal cocktail, quac and plantains appetizer, Carne En Su Jugo for an entree, and Tres Leches Carrot Cake for dessert. The Carne was a slow braised short rib over rancho beans - the meat was fork tender and delicious, and the beans were perfect. To add heat, the server bought out a chili paste (de arbol) and it was just right. Great atmosphere, very tastefully decorated, very attentive service. I can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to come back.“

“Can't say enuf about this gem! The food is expertly prepared and always delicious, cocktails are tasty and varied, and the service is awesome! It's warm and inviting and the music's top notch. I always feel transported to the LES, NYC when I step thru Verse's doors.“

“Hit up this spot last night and had a great time! The crowd is hipster casual, service is solid with some very handsome bartenders, and the drinks are great! Decor is modern with a chic feel, and though this spot doesn't serve food there was an amazing pizza truck out front which they allow you to eat inside the bar. Bonus points for easy street parking in the area. Definitely looking forward to having more drinks here very soon!“

“Absolutely fabulous! The beef tartare was superb. I had the black truffle risotto and there is nothing better than that on the menu in my personal opinion, rich, creamy, earthy, simply delicious. My mom had the crab pasta which was so complex, but the lumps of crab added such a lovely ocean flavor to every bite. Our server was incredible! She was so attentive and kind and patient with us. But the best part of the meal was the tiramisu, not your typical tiramisu but the chocolate record decoration made the whole evening. Also the cocktails were worth every penny, expertly crafted and unique.“

“It's one of my favorite neighborhood choices. The menu, the staff, the management -- all top class in service. Don't be surprised if the executive chef, Michael, shows up at your table to say hello and check in on your experience personally. It's a local favorite and a treasure....so whether you live in WeHo or are visiting.....it's a MUST! Whatever you order for your main entree, I insist you order a cup of your favorite soup!“

“One of the meals I’ve had. The whipped feta was a dream with maybe my favorite pita I’ve tasted. Carrots were perfect. Sweet potatoes were delicious but definitely have a kick if you’re sensitive to spice. Steak frites were best fries I’ve ever had. Drinks were strong and so tasty. Can’t wait to go back“

“We love Bourbon Steak. They always find a way to make every occasion that we spend there very special. Tonight was special in that it was Mama's birthday. That said, our Server, Omar was / is exceptional ... very attentive and genuine. We have a 2 year old and he knew just how to time things so we could all enjoy the time and meal and not have a baby be a baby ... the food as always was exceptional - oysters, miso shrimp, lobster and of course the wagyu steak were all expertly prepared.“

“This place is excellent. Every dish we tried was good, but the standouts for me were the clam toast and crispy potatoes. The bread for the toast was perfect and the potatoes were just the right amount of fluffiness on the inside and crispy outside. My mouth is watering just writing this. The trout was worth getting as well. I will definitely be back to try more dishes.“

“Nossa Caipirinha Bar offers an authentic Brazilian experience right in the heart of Los Feliz. My partner and I recently indulged in a late-night adventure at this vibrant establishment, and we were thoroughly impressed.From the moment we entered, we were greeted by the lively beats of Brazilian music, instantly transporting us to the streets of Rio. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with warm décor adding to the immersive experience.The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the cocktails. Each drink was meticulously crafted with quality ingredients, perfectly capturing the essence of Brazilian flavors. Whether it was the classic caipirinha or one of their signature creations, every sip was a delight for the senses.As the night progressed, the bartender recommended we try Brazilian fernet, and we're glad we did. It was a bold and flavorful choice that left a lasting impression, showcasing the bar's dedication to offering unique and authentic experiences.Overall, Nossa Caipirinha Bar exceeded our expectations, delivering not only exceptional drinks but also a memorable cultural journey. Whether you're a connoisseur of Brazilian cuisine or simply looking for a lively atmosphere to unwind, Nossa Caipirinha Bar is a must-visit destination. Obrigado for an unforgettable evening!“

“Very good salsa selection, which generally correlates to pretty good food (as in this case). Had the Roadside Burrito with fish and it was excellent. Family had the the hot chicken tacos, chicken jalisco tacos, and fish and shrimp tacos. All were very well received. I'd definitely check this place out if I were in the area. Miles better than anything near Universal.“

“Cool little bar to watch a game & grab a drink. We also ordered some chicken nachos & they hit the spot. The parking was a little tricky, but we found parking on the street (not sure if there was additional parking in the back somewhere). I enjoyed looking at their wall art - very LA. The service was good too!“

“From the outside, it's not clear what the inside will look like. But one step into the ante room, the vibe comes alive. Its like Pirates of the Caribbean opened a tiki bar. Great service, amazing drinks and food, all with a great tiki music soundtrack. Dont miss this place!Kid-friendliness: Kids are definitely welcome“

“Our second time in, first time inside...what a fantastic place! Our food and service was stellar! Thomas, our server, was extremely intricate to our heck of a time as was Claudia's surprise visit! We'll be back and we'll be back after that as well!“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“The restaurant is the best. One of a kind menu. The chef do this weird but really creative culinary plates that doesnt make sense, you cant even imagine how it will taste, but i know for sure it will be really boom. You will be fascinated. I am an honest and serious customer. Although the place its just a little small and i will change it to 5 star once i think it deserve it. In my opinion. Customer service really good. Security, bartenders as well do their job as it should be. Just the small room doesnt make me go up to 5 star, but we'll see sometime.“

“Phoebe went above and beyond. Normally I stay away from hotel bars but the taste and the quality of drinks here was beyond top notch. Local, tourist doesn’t matter this bar has some of the best service in the area and you can trust any of the bar tenders to treat you right.“

“Absolutely love everything about this place. Experience the rich flavors of Yucatán while relaxing and enjoying the ambiance and decor. Every dish is made with intention and heart well thought out and full of culinary creativity. The drinks are amazing as well. A must try.“

“A very special place. The heart of the owner is evident in everything- the outstanding quality of the food particularly the catfish which is my favorite. The sensitivity and kindness of the service. The choice of beautiful jazz at the perfect volume. The paintings in the wall and the lighting. It's perfect for romance and caring relationships. Or self care. Exquisite!“

“Do you have a trusted manager who is very reliable and dependable? Hurry up and start your trade with Mrs Craig Vanessa she is the best among all. I have tried 2 of them but she proves me right and helps me gain high profit. So why don't you invest with her so you can start making decent profit on crypto.

“Met Anderson Paak the last time I was here, but I’d already dubbed this place my favorite local spot long before I danced with my idol under the disco ball.Strictly vinyl. Great cocktail menu.Only negative: their digital branding needs work. Kinda wish they’d hire me to curate their social media. ?“

“Fun classic and tasty with the perfect ambiance and level of server attention. If you want the flavor of the islands while thirsting for a perfectly balanced drink, this is your place. So beautifully and traditionally designed - it's clearly an island in and of itself in NoHo Arts District.“

“If you're on the lookout for an establishment that blends top-notch cocktails with an unbeatable atmosphere, look no further than Powerhouse Bar. Tucked away in the heart of the Hollywood, this gem stands out as a haven for cocktail enthusiasts and social butterflies alike.“

“We went on Saturday night around 9pm, cocktails were outstanding!! Delicious and balanced! Great prices and there were 2 people attending the whole place but it was not too crowded, we ordered fries with steak and the meat was very soft, we'll definitely come back , lots of street parking!“

“Nice Mexican restaurant in the Los Feliz neighborhood in LA. The restaurant had great ambiance and attentive service. We had an assortment of vegan and vegetarian sides, including flautas (made vegan), beans, rice, and fingerling potatoes. The dessert options included vegan sorbets and vegetarian churros.Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options with a clearly labeled menu. Many of the Vegetarian items can be made vegan.“

“I've been to Skaf's a couple of times now. As many reviewers note, the cheese roll is a must get if you love and respect yourself and your happiness. Queso fresco and feta fried in the crispiest wrapper is a match made in heaven.Grape leaves are also a wonderful appetizer, especially if you're like me and could accidentally put away 12 of this if not paying attention.I often find falafel to be disappointing in restaurants and much better homemade, but Skaf's falafel would give even the best homemade falafel a run for its money. The texture is exactly how it should be - crisp, crunchy exterior with a soft (but not gummy) interior. The falafel is also jam packed with flavor and surrounded by insanely well executed tabbouleh (perfectly seasoned), cabbage salad, hummus, and babaganouj. Their wraps are solid as well, but the veggie combo plate is where it's at!Lebanese coffee on the side on a rainy day at Skaf's. Kindest servers as well“

“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Amanda saw to it that we had a wonderful experience. She was so welcoming and helpful. Many places have incredible drinks but if the service doesn't match, who knows if you'll remember it a few months down the road. The service is what makes people come back! She nailed it.The cocktails were delicious as well, we are familiar with the craft cocktail scene and these drinks were on point and an awesome price! Ambience was spot on too.Next time we are in LA we will return!“

“This is a restaurant which is as noisy as it should be. It always seems like the neighborhood is all here and they're having a great time. And why not? The food is great, the space is cozy and charming the margarita's are fine and it all adds up. This is, by far, our favorite and Mexican restaurant and one of our favorites overall!“

“My girlfriend and I went to our second Valentine's dinner here last week. Not many places can pull off Valentines Day like Bistro 45 does. Everything came out timely and up to their usual standards. Our favorite waiter Mehdi treated us like family. This is the most consistent restaurant we've ever eaten at. Thank you guys so much! Rick and Linda“

“The drinks here are well crafted and delicious! These bartenders know what they're talking about when it comes to mixology. Big Bar hosts fun, quirky events too. Solid place for an afternoon drink or dinner...Don't get me started on the bakery!“

“This is an absolutely wonderful place…warm, inviting and friendly! I have been on several occasions and each time the food has been delicious and the service was always promo and attentive! But for me, the most important part of my experience was the people. The staff truly makes this a great place to be.“

“the food is fantastic one of my favorite is the pasta with the vodka sauce pasta and you add any protein you want which is really great, my second favorite dish has to be the pizza ? I don't know what it is but that pizza feels like Crack is so addictive, and let's not even get started on the steak and fries ? that is the best! The staff is amazingly friendly, the servers were great the THANKS TO THE CHEF THE FOOD WAS EXQUISITE right a perfection and the cocktail drinks were amazing as well this place won't disappoint you Thank you chef jose and front manager jose and mitch. Yall provided a great experienceWheelchair accessibility: Yes it's wheelchair accessible“

“We go all the time, especially for the bottomless mimosas and it's always lovely. There's a live cover band that does a bunch of hits.This last time Chad was our server and he was rad and comped us a thing or two so you better believe we tipped well.Dietary restrictions: Just ask! These guys are kind and modify if you ask.Parking: A little difficult but you should find something within three blocks if you're patient.Kid-friendliness: Kids can join just be aware of Sunday bottomless mimosas. If you're uncomfortable with your children being around today people, maybe go during the week.They'll probably love the dog house in the back.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible, come on over!“

“Inventive tongue in cheek bites. The dry age steak and drinks are excellent. Menu highlights are also the Lobsta, yellowtail aguachile. If you have a sweet tooth you have a tower of desserts. Great sunset spot for the view and good service!“

“So my friends invited us here because it was allegedly haunted and although we didn't see a ghost it was still really fun! It's a really unique bar, super small and intimate, and since it's next to the Pantages Theatre you get to see a lot of interesting characters. The vibe is cool, and not serious, I would say it's a good place to get the feel of HOLLYWOOD.“

“Came here tonight with my boyfriend for his birthday and we had a wonderful time! I was even able to bring my little dog too since our four legged friends are allowed on the patio! The food was delicious! I had the Sand Dabs which was light and flaky with a lemon butter sauce. My boyfriend had the prime rib which was rich and practically melted in your mouth. Their house bread was freshly made and was phenomenal! Our server was so nice and accommodating and really made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back!“

“I did not have a reservation and the restaurant was really crowded on a Friday night. Yet they gave me space at the bar to enjoy the night as a solo traveller. Had a rose (brut) and some fantastic duck pasta. So so so delicious dinner and you cannot miss the panna cotta, Absolutely loved it as it wanted speed .Enjoyed the music and accompanying wine.Friendly bartenders, waiters and managers. Constantly checking on you making the environment so buzz.“

“Our server Patty was upbeat! Rock vibe-fun spot with Mexican decor. They offer $5 happy hour beers 3-5 pm. Had the mole chicken enchiladas. So tasty! I could tell the chef really makes an effort. That matters to me a lot these days. Because so many don’t! Give it a try!Parking: Was a weekday dinner meal. Not crowded and right off the 5 fwy exit in Sunland.“

“Wow. I've heard of this place and finally got the chance to visit it and enjoy it. It is exceptionally tasty. The food is fantastic and unique with tons of flavor. I loved it, Easy to get to and conveniently located. It's a must visit and eat.“

“The food here is unmatched. The best tacos and salsa around by far. The service? Not super amazing, but it made for a more intentional dining experience, and I don't mind that. Truly though, the steak tacos set a new bar for me. Amazing work in the kitchen. Great cocktails too!“

“Employees Only had been on our list for quite some time, so we were excited to snag a reservation and enjoy some sips and bites. The server was nice and the food was tasty. We especially enjoyed their mushroom pizza and house fries. When it comes to drinks, perhaps it was just that this place had been overhyped as some of LA's best cocktails, but I found them to be just okay. I tried the Midnight Breakfast and Eospresso and they were both ... fine. I wish there was something a little more memorable about them. The environment felt electric and trendy, but even right at open, grew loud with voices and pumped-in music. I think I'd recommend it to everyone to try once, but it wasn't the quiet, brilliant cocktail lounge I was hoping it might be.“

“Pasadena and downtown this last fortnight. Nostagic deliciousness @parkwaygrill, peerless steaks. Returning there for the fourth time - our first visit was in 1994. Last night we enjoyed @majordomola . Koreanish food, at it's best generous and full flavoured. Standouts include the pork shoulder, duck confit rice and the flambe(d) doughnuts.Next time we'll try their signature rib dish too. Take an appetite and lots of family. Also loved Houstons. Beautiful restaurant with signature French dip sandwich @houstonsrestaurants“

“Granville was one of the first restaurants I've eaten at since movigto Pasadena 2 years ago. Each time I've gone, the service is always attentive and welcoming.The atmosphere is very trendy and I really do love the open layout overall. The food and drinks have always been a hit for me, I've tried almost everything on their menu and I haven't been disappointed. My go to cocktail is the cu cucumber martini, which is very refreshing! Definitely check them out if you're in the area. Very good for a date night or a group hang.“
