The 16 Best Bars In DTLA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Wolves is a fancy cocktail bar where bartenders use fire, smoke, and spray bottles to make drinks. The wood-and-leather-covered space is dark and romantic, and they don’t allow any standing room, so expect to put your name down and wait if you come at a busier time. If you get excited about specialty cocktail menus involving milk clarification and date bourbon, make this your new spot. As for food, expect some very French dishes like escargot, pommes frites, and ratatouille on the menu for when you get hungry." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
