10Best Bars
NineThirty
(Nightlife - Bars)
930 Hilgard Ave W Los Angeles Westwood, Westwood  90024 • 310-208-8765
Distance: ~4.68 mi *
        Description: WESTWOOD. The focal point of this elegant New American restaurant is its 12-foot white sandstone bar, topped with teak wood; behind the bar, an ice-blue backlight illuminates a wood screen, producing a bamboo pattern. This statement of minimal, clean design is echoed throughout the restaurant's interior, as well as on the pleasant stone patio, which absorbs overflow from the relatively small bar. The singles scene is very much alive, so grab a flute of champagne or a minty mojito and get mingling. While there's no late night menu at the bar, nearby Whiskey Blue serves appetizers until last call at 1:30am.

The Champagne Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
701 Stone Canyon Rd Hotel Bel-Air, Bel-Air  90077 • 310-472-1211
Distance: ~5.75 mi *
        Description: BEL AIR. With its inviting fireplace, cozy environs, and baby grand piano, the bar at the Hotel Bel-Air is definitely not for heavy partiers. Indeed, a more sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere would be hard to find in the city. Whether you're dining at the Bel-Air or not, the lounge is always a terrific place to frequent for aperitifs or for after-dinner drinks. Live piano music played nightly helps create just the right atmosphere, too.

Polo Lounge
(Nightlife - Bars)
9641 Sunset Blvd Beverly Hills Hotel, Beverly Hills  90210 • 310-276-2251 • 310-887-2777
Distance: ~6.77 mi *
        Description: BEVERLY HILLS. Try as you might, it's nearly impossible to name any place in Beverly Hills that packs in as many dealmakers and power brokers as the Polo Lounge. The bar is actually a piece of Hollywood history thanks to its roster of past and present patrons. Treat yourself to a martini or any other drink from the full list of cocktails, beers, and wines – you'll most likely leave with just as many memories of the atmosphere as of the drinks. Service is impeccable even if you're not a star.

        Description: BEVERLY HILLS. Intimate Windows Lounge is great for impressing a date, thanks to patronage by a Hollywood crowd and graphic, stylish decor. Specialty martinis and a good selection of wines are available and are complemented by a menu of light international cuisine and nightly live music. The small patio outside is a favorite spot on lovely California evenings.

The Abbey Food & Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
692 N Robertson Blvd, Hollywood  90069 • 310-289-8410 • 310-855-9977
Distance: ~8.05 mi *
        Description: WEST HOLLYWOOD. Retaining its original touch of Gothic decor, this hotspot of gay and lesbian (and increasingly, straight) nightlife has evolved to include three distinct bars, a hip lounge, and several coveted outdoor cabanas. A relaxed coffeehouse and restaurant by day, The Abbey effortlessly transforms into a lively nightspot in the evenings. Elaborate and decadent martinis are the libation of choice, and the selection ranges from chocolate raspberry to caramel apple. Fortunately, there's plenty of great food to accompany your drink – grilled barbecue teriyaki salmon and penne with apple chicken sausage are favorite choices.

Bar Tosca at La Boheme
(Nightlife - Bars)
8400 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood  90069 • 323-848-2360
Distance: ~8.91 mi *
        Description: WEST HOLLYWOOD. While La Boheme as a restaurant is known for its elaborate chandeliers, roaring fireplace, lengthy drapes, and touches of Gothic decor, it's also a terrific place to have drinks. Bar Tosca delivers a range of specialty cocktails, which patrons enjoy there or take to the outdoor patio. Romantic and quiet, the candlelit venue is perfect for a drink à deux or a peaceful cocktail in solitude. Plus, this alternative to the heavily-decorated interior offers privacy from passers-by thanks to an encircling stone wall. If you choose not to indulge in the dining room's Californian and French fare, know that the bar serves burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers.

Miyagi's on Sunset
(Nightlife - Bars)
8225 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood  90046-2413 • 323-650-3524
Distance: ~9.41 mi *
        Description: WEST HOLLYWOOD. This rock-and-roll sushi house has three floors catering to every taste. On the first floor are big-screen televisions and pool tables where sports fans can eat and watch the big game. Floor two is a quieter, more traditional dining room. The third floor is decorated with waterfalls and televisions playing rock videos, and after midnight, tables are pushed away to make room for a dance floor. In all, Miyagi's boasts seven sushi bars and six beverage bars. Crowds come to see and be seen. Other regular events include comedy performances, acoustic shows, karaoke, and poetry readings.

Bar Marmont
(Nightlife - Bars)
8171 Sunset Blvd Chateau Marmont Hotel, Hollywood  90046 • 323-650-0575 • 323-656-1010
Distance: ~9.49 mi *
        Description: WEST HOLLYWOOD. This elaborately decorated bar features a tropical motif with a stuffed peacock holding court and faux monarch butterflies dotting the ceiling. The bar itself is bathed in red light while neighboring tables are illuminated by white lamps. It all creates a romantic, Eastern ambience, attracting famous folks like Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp, who relish Marmont's martinis. Gin and vodka varieties are both available, and many house drinks are served in glass jars with accents of pineapple, ginger, or vanilla.

The Bar
(Nightlife - Bars)
5851 W Sunset Blvd, Hollywood  90028 • 323-468-9154
Distance: ~11.93 mi *
        Description: HOLLYWOOD. Providing an antidote to LA's glut of overly swanky cocktail bars, The Bar is refreshingly low-key and, consequently, attracts a mixed clientele who come for rock tunes and strong mixed drinks. Most weeknights, DJs spin a mix, so grab a seat and enjoy the tunes. As the evening gets later, the crowd is increasingly well-dressed, so show up on the early side for a more casual vibe. A thoughtful perk for women: convenient purse hooks underneath the bar. Note: The bar is marked only with its address on an awning.
