Whittier Brewing Co. has an extensive collection of wine and craft beer. The outdoor area is so chill with a lot of picnic style tables. If you're lucky, you'll catch a live music performance.

Always a vibe. Their margaritas are soo yummy. Sometimes they have a DJ and it really elevates the atmosphere. I like sitting on their outdoor patio with friends.

I can not get enough of this cute Latina-owned bar in Silverlake! The colorful design of the place add to its charm. Their margarita pitchers get an A+ from me.

Cozy patio behind the restaurant! Fourth street is typically bustling with both car and pedestrian traffic but you couldn't even tell once you were in this outdoor space. GREAT Italian food. My go-tos here are the calamari appetizer, carbonara, and s...

Woman owned sports bar in Long Beach! They play mostly women's sports on the TVs and carry a lot of women-owned alcohol.

Great White in Larchmont Village! It's in such a cute neighborhood so it's nice to walk around after your meal/drink. I really like their sangria spritz.

I love Panama Joe's margaritas!! Huge servings that I think are fairly priced. Their Mexican food is decent too. I usually go here around sunset and like to get a frozen marg before walking to the beach or around Belmont Shore. Transforms into a club...

Is this on everybody's “LA'S MUST VISIT PLACES”? Yeah, probably. And it's for a very good reason! I hosted my 22nd birthday here and it was perfect. I had a bigger group so I had to get a prix fixe menu, but it was well worth it. Everyone loved what ...<3

I've been here a handful of times! Once for a birthday dinner and the rest casual hangouts. I remember liking their specialty cocktails. I do like their food better than their drinks. It's such a vibe at night when the lighting is mostly from lamps a...

I've only ever been to Videre for their rooftop reality show watch parties, but it was always a great time! Their miso ceasar salad is unreal and they can get so creative with their drinks. The views of LA are stunning especially at night.

Stunning rooftop. It's light and breezy and good for a casual hang. Their drinks are delicious and I like to get their uptown mac and cheese to share. YUM.

Rooftop(ish) option on Sunset! I've only been here at night and the view of the city is nice. You get here through the hotel lobby so it feels a little more secure than other bars on Sunset. Drinks are expensive and it's a bit more bougie than my oth...

Rooftop option in Hollywood! I had brunch here after working the LA Pride Parade and this place revived me. The food was delicious and the drinks were fun.

Indoor/outdoor area that's perfect for if you want the warmth of the outdoors without getting too hot. It's across the water too so you get a gentle breeze. They have an extensive drink menu. It's more of a lounge vibe during the day and turns into a...

Indoor/outdoor spot in Santa Monica. It's a great place for a birthday dinner. The food and drinks are delicious. It's near other bars in Santa Monica so you could grab dinner and drinks here before bar crawling. The DJ was playing house music which ...
