"Overlooking Sunset Boulevard, Bar Flores' second-floor space feels like a treehouse cabana, with arched, wooden ceilings and a gorgeous deck out back. The mezcal margarita at this surprisingly chill Latin cocktail bar should win some sort of liquid-related award for being potent and refreshing at the same time. And the pistachio and pandan daiquiri is the perfect thing to sip on a first date if you're too anxious to properly look over the long list of mezcals. Plan your schedule around the bar's live music programming on Tuesday nights." - brant cox
