Every season, Time Out L.A. crowns its “Best New Bars,” and this summer’s list reads like a nightlife manifesto:
Night on Earth: moody, neon-soaked, with cocktails named after sci-fi films.
Tokyo Noir: a Japanese-inspired den in Little Tokyo with DJs spinning ambient vinyl.
Daisy Margarita Bar: playful, pastel, and unapologetically Instagrammable.
Together, they show that L.A.’s bar scene is about more than drinks it’s about identity. Each bar isn’t just a place to sip; it’s a stage to play a role for a night.
