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.

Description:
MALIBU. Though this lounge demands a bit of a drive out of the city, those who make the trek are amply rewarded by a pleasant, open-air space that extends over the water, providing stunning views of surf and sun. DJs spin a mesmerizing accompaniment of chill house music six nights a week, attracting the hipster crowd but not alienating more mature patrons who simply want to enjoy a glass of wine and a beautiful seascape. Naturally, seafood is on offer from the restaurant inside. Perfect for a first or second date. |

Description:
LA CIENEGA CORRIDOR. Rubbing shoulders with Hollywood's elite is a given here, so play it cool as you sip sake at this hopelessly hip lounge. Whether you're having a few cocktails before tucking into some of the city's finest (and most expensive) sushi or just chatting with friends over drinks, it's difficult to find a venue more elegant in its simplicity than Koi's lounge. Low banquettes in muted earth tones line both sides of the rectangular room, and long, unadorned wooden tables, lit by candles, provide a place to rest your drink. Coral-colored ottomans allow more folks to join your table and get the evening going. Equally appealing front and back patios provide even more space for lounging and imbibing. |

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. |

Description:
MANHATTAN BEACH. It might be hard to find this tiny spot – with no sign advertising its presence, you have to look carefully to identify the renovated house that Side Door calls home. Once inside, you'll be glad you searched out the place. Large, high-backed couches and small tables for two pack all available space, and on weekends, it's standing room only. There's no room for live music, but an upbeat blend of world and house rhythms is piped in. College students and loyal locals comprise most of the clientele. |
