Bar Flores

Los Angeles, California

A mezcal-forward bar in Echo Park that feels like drinking in someone's exceptionally cool backyard. The patio is strung with lights, the cocktails are agave-centric and bracingly good, and the vibe splits the difference between neighborhood local and destination bar. The food menu — tacos, tostadas, elote — is better than it needs to be.

Insider tip

The spicy mezcal margarita on the back patio. Thursday nights have a DJ who actually reads the room.

Sqirl

The ricotta toast that launched a thousand Instagram accounts, yes. But Sqirl is more than that — it's a tiny, sun-drenched kitchen turning out some of the most thoughtful grain bowls and seasonal plates on the east side. Jessica Koslow's preserves are legendary for a reason. The line moves fast. The food is worth the wait.

Bestia
EatArts District

Bestia

The restaurant that put the Arts District on the culinary map and somehow hasn't lost a step in over a decade. Ori Menashe's Italian cooking is muscular and unapologetic — house-made salumi, wood-fired pizzas, pastas that could make a Bolognese weep. The room is industrial-gorgeous, loud in the best way, and impossible to get into on short notice. Plan ahead.

The Broad
ExperienceArts District

The Broad

Eli and Edythe Broad's contemporary art museum is free, stunning, and houses one of the most important postwar collections in the world. Basquiat, Koons, Ruscha, Haring — all under one vaulted honeycomb roof designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro. The infinity mirror room still draws lines, but the permanent collection alone justifies the visit.

DrinkWynwood · Miami, Florida

Mayami

A Japanese-influenced cocktail bar in Wynwood where every drink feels like a small sculpture. The bartenders use Japanese technique — clear ice, precise pours, obsessive attention to dilution — in a room that's dark, quiet, and deliberate. It's the opposite of a Wynwood party bar, which is exactly why it works.

DrinkPearl District · Portland, Oregon

Departure

A rooftop bar and restaurant atop The Nines hotel with a panoramic view of Pioneer Courthouse Square and the hills beyond. The Asian-fusion menu is solid, but the real draw is sitting on the outdoor terrace at dusk with a cocktail, watching the city shift from day to night. It's one of the few Portland spots with a genuine skyline view, and on a clear evening, it's unbeatable.
