Rank 1. Missy’s This That
Cocktail Bar
Above a convenience store on 14th Avenue, a no-frills room conceals a wine list of disarming depth—twelve pages spanning rare Burgundies, vintage Champagne, and Vin Jaune by the glass. The cocktails match that ambition with playful precision, while toast topped with brown anchovy and cultured butter and a roster of party shots ensure you'll stay longer than you planned.

Rank 2. Business & Pleasure
Cocktail Bar
In Inglewood's adjoining bodega and back-room bar, the cocktails trade in nostalgic comfort—a cola-and-tonic shot through with shōchū and umeshu liqueur—while the single malt selection runs deep. The vaulted ceiling and warm, familiar setting suggest a neighborhood joint with genuine craft, one that keeps you talking through dinner.

Rank 3. Shelter
Eastern European-ish
Behind the bar, gas masks double as props and promise: here, aroma is the main ingredient. Cocktails are built around volatile compounds and fermentation—a vodka Martini gains fruity depth from honey and melon, a margarita its heat from walnut and muhammara liqueur—turning the invisible architecture of flavor into theater that rewards close attention.
