Now in Los Angeles: New Bars and Clubs

10939 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034 (map)

Everybody's favorite woodsy watering hole has finally branched out to the Westside. Although it maintains the kitschy charm of its sister location in Atwater Village (yes, those are stuffed animal heads staring down at you), this Culver City outpost is more log cabin chic than Big Bear camp. And the drinks? Think potent whiskeys and bourbons and sweet 'tails like the Toasted Marshmallow.

453 South Spring St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 (map)

This place is so money. Seriously. Located in the basement of the old Crocker Citizens National Bank building, this swanky subterranean scene is all low lights, money-themed cocktails and "secret rooms" just waiting to be discovered. (It might be the only time you'll be able to walk beyond a bank vault door.)

3413 Cahuenga Blvd West, Los Angeles, CA 90068 (map)

Sure, it's in the same 'hood as Universal Studios, but this neighborhood pub (from the folks behind Luna Park) is for those who'd rather down a few brews and scream/cheer/insert other sports-related verb here at the TV screen (there are 16 of 'em) than sit on some tram touring a movie studio lot.

6506 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 (map)

Revitalizing the old Fox Theater, the folks behind STK and Villa are bringing a major dose of Vegas-style glam with this over-the-top 13,000-square-foot playland, dance floor and diner for Hollywood's club kids.

800 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (map)

The cure to downtown's nightlife needs, this stylish lounge (conveniently sharing a kitchen with the adjacent Provecho restaurant) is where downtown dwellers stop by for the long list of wines, beers cocktails and tasty bites.

2609 N Hyperion Ave, Silver Lake, CA 90027 (map)

Sundays in Silverlake just got a whole lot better thanks to Barbarella Bar's all day happy hour and their new brunch and lunch service from 11am to 4pm. The brunch and lunch menu is completely organic with traditional fare, as well as vegan and vegetarian items. As for happy hour (or should we say, happy hours), the booze-fest features 10-ounce martinis for $6 and all 24 draft beers at just $4 a pop. Cheers!

217 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA 90401 (map)

This laidback Santa Monica hot spot just launched a new Happy Depression menu, available nightly from 5pm-7pm. Offerings include 12 classic cocktails for $5 each in addition to discounted food, wine and beer. Hey, at least we're not the verge of another Prohibition.

108 West 2nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (map)

Get a 1910 martini at a 1910 price: Every Thursday from 5pm to 7pm imbibers can get a handcrafted 35-cent martini at this super swanky Downtown L.A. subterranean haunt. Want more? Fridays Soup Kitchen offers the same 35-cent cocktail as well as free grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Depression, what?

1697 Pacific Ave, Venice Beach, CA 90291 (map)

In celebration of the once-a-month "'First Fridays" on Abbott Kinney, Hotel Erwin's rooftop terrace High is making its happy hour even happier: Patrons who mention "First Friday" will get one drink or appetizer free for every one they buy (limit one per person) all summer long.

22 Mills Pl, Pasadena, CA 91105 (map)

Old Town Pasadena's former coffee house is now a chic, Eastern-inspired lounge and bar. Monday through Friday from 5pm-11pm is when to hit the bar for burgers, sandwiches and the popular microbrew "Beer Stacks" with nothing much more than $10.
