The 16 Best Cocktail Bars In Los Angeles

"The main purpose of this Beverly Hills rooftop bar is looking fabulous while drinking fabulous things with fabulous people in a truly fabulous setting (did we say fabulous enough?). The sister bar to Dante NYC takes up the top floor of the Maybourne hotel, with a dining room that’s just as beautiful as its panoramic views. But if you’re wondering whether this bar’s success hinges on its use of stylish half-moon couches, it doesn’t. Their bartenders are experts with classics like 50/50 martinis and whipped garibaldi, but they’ll make you anything you ask for with confidence and finesse. This is Beverly Hills, so expect to spend over $20 per cocktail, a price that feels worth it for the memorable experience. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
