14 Great LA Bars You Always Forget About - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"On an industrial stretch of La Cienega by the 405, Mandrake is one of the most underrated bars in Mid-City. While it definitely fills up during peak weekend hours, the crowd is more likely to have just come from work at an architecture firm than another club. The specialty cocktails are all reasonably priced (nothing costs more than $14), there’s a foosball table in the back, and old movies being projected onto the wall. If you get hungry, they have potato chips behind the bar - as should be required by law. " - Brant Cox
