"You don’t have to be over-the-top to be a great bar - and Lowboy is proof. This Echo Park spot is located in the busiest part of Sunset, but there’s nothing flashy about it. Instead, they’ve got a great selection of craft beers, a lively-yet-low-key crowd, and a truly killer smashburger that could go head-to-head with any in the neighborhood. The cocktails rotate seasonally, but you can never go wrong with the Viva Sandia, which involves coconut, watermelon, and vodka. Oh, and it’s only $8, which makes it a certified steal in this part of town." - Brant Cox, Kat Hong, Brett Keating
