This Fourth Of July, skip the backyard Budweisers and PBR and mix up a polished patriotic cocktail. In the “spirit” of Independence Day, we rounded up some easy-to-make libations that Lady Liberty would certainly approve of.
Summer 2023 officially begins on Wednesday, June 21, marking the longest day of the year. From tasty tropical drinks to refreshing frozen sippers, celebrate the sizzling season with one of these killer cocktails.
Dads are notoriously hard to shop for on Father’s Day. So this year, serve up something something he’ll really enjoy: a good stiff drink. Whether you are hosting a dinner or just hanging out exchanging dad jokes, mix him up one of these handsome cocktails, ranging from smooth whiskey sippers to creative tequila concoctions.
Whether your dad is an up-and-at-’em brunch guy or one who prefers a classic steak dinner, we’ve rounded up five restaurants in Los Angeles offering special mouth-watering menu items in honor of Father’s Day.
World Gin Day is a global celebration of all things gin, held on the second Saturday in June. To celebrate this year, we rounded up eight great cocktail recipes, ranging from a chic and simple G&T to a modern twist on a Tiki classic. Cheers!
Gin Rummy is a funky new cocktail bar on Los Angeles’ westside that invites guests to escape to the tropics and get swept away, sipping exotic cocktails and enjoying delicious snacks in a pirate’s lair.
National Wine Day is May 25, which means the sound of glassing “clinking” will be heard from coast to coast. While Los Angeles isn’t exactly known as the vino capital of California, there are still plenty of fabulous wineries and tasting rooms ready to pour their hearts out (and more).
Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off of summer, so whether your plans involve grillin’, chillin’ or wilin’ out, a good drink is one the the best accessories one can sport over the long weekend. From patriotic punches to sophisticated slushies, check out our favorite MDW-approved cocktail recipes.
Now that the LA Lakers have made it to the Western Conference Finals, the 2023 NBA postseason is more exciting than ever. From Hollywood’s sleekest sports lounge to DTLA’s mega game day hub, watch the next game at one of these five hotspots.
Moms have the toughest jobs in the world, so this Mother’s Day, skip the corny cards and flowers and celebrate with what they really want: a good drink. Shake up something special with the help of these 10 cocktail recipes.
For those wanting to party like the stars in Los Angeles, the best place to head is West Hollywood where the clubs and restaurants are overflowing with A-Listers. From Drake’s favorite after-party spot to the poolside party palace owned by an iconic supermodel’s spouse, check out these celebrity hotspots.
Located in vibrant La Cienega Boulevard, with Barton G and Nobu just up the road. Koi is definitely in good company. This is by no means a new restaurant – in fact, it’s a staple, but it was new to me having been in LA for just a year and a half.
Fall is cuffin’ season, after all, and September is certainly upon us. Los Angeles boasts some of the hottest hotel bars from the coast to I-605, and in true West Coast fashion, their cocktail venues are visually stunning and bubbling with ambiance.
Planning a night out in LA sometimes feels like shopping in Kim Kardashian’s closet. With so many options, where do I start? Not to mention, there seems to be a new spot opening every month. And of course, you need to plan ahead, reservations and all. In New Zealand and Australia, we used to roll up to a venue at midnight after having drinks at some house party.
Though my Loop Magazine features have been littered with recommendations for mezcal cocktails from various LA venues, I have yet to review an actual mezcal bar. Well, it’s about damn time, and what better place to start than with Las Perlas WEHO.
Since I moved to Los Angeles when I was 21 years old, I’ve loved the nightlife. At that age, and for the following four years, I couldn’t wait until the clock neared midnight and the clubs came alive.
Although a smaller neighborhood of Los Angeles, Los Feliz is no stranger to fine dining or a crafty cocktail experience. With so many different styles of restaurants and bars, there is a venue in Los Feliz for every person and occasion.
I’m all up for trying new places and always ready to explore the many unique spots that LA has to offer. So, when I was asked to check out The Victorian, I was like sure – it’s been a while since I had a proper night out. Plus, The Victorian is currently one of the IT spots for nightlife and touted as ‘the new Bungalow,’ so I also had to see what all the fuss was about!
Remember when Diddy sent Dnice a full bar stocked with Ciroc and DeLeon, exemplifying the resurgence of luxury gifting to anybody who was anybody during a time in the pandemic when we couldn’t actually be together with the way we wished? That was Ingrid.
While the venues on Rose or Abbot Kinney provide a chic backdrop for a GNO or date night, the bars on Washington Blvd are cool and casual – from funky, dive style to DJs with light shows. But recently, Venice’s most coveted reservation is at The Pier House, which reopened this June with a fresh interior and fun new menu.
Now, E.P. & L.P., Catch Steak, and Melroseplace LA are all a hop, skip, and a jump away, located
near the intersection of Melrose and La Cienega.
From fine dining to neighborhood hotspots, restaurants throughout Los Angeles offer pasta dishes in a range of flavors. Check out my favorites.
I pulled up my expansive list of LA hot spots and found the relatively new Sparrow, located in the historic and gorgeous Hotel Figueroa and serving up modern coastal Italian – yes, please!
Although I find all these to be crucial parts of the nightlife experience, one of my favorite aspects would have to be the cocktails. There is nothing I love more than a crafty mixed drink that is sweet, strong, and instagrammable.
Although it can be difficult to find LGBTQ+ based venues in most parts of the country, this is definitely not the case for Los Angeles.
