Rank 4. LadyLove Lounge & Sound
Cocktail Bar
Tucked into a quiet Bishop Arts corner with red-dimmed lighting and velvet-and-leather vibes, LadyLove is a lounge that strikes the rare balance of being intimate enough for conversation and lively enough for dancing. DJs spin on weekends, themed nights keep things fresh, and cocktails like the Rude Boy (tequila, aloe-peno syrup, lime) cost less than the beer.

Rank 10. Tiny Victories
Cocktail Bar
A snug cocktail bar just west of the Bishop Arts District where a Bob Ross shrine evolved organically after a bartender put him on TV one day and a regular asked why he'd vanished the next. The drinks are taken seriously but never solemnly—try a properly made mai tai or the tongue-in-cheek House Shot, and hit happy hour Tuesday through Saturday for half-price cocktails.

Rank 11. Jettison
Cocktail Bar
A moody cocktail bar where vinyl spins and the drinks arrive with real imagination—think margarita-penicillin hybrids and unexpected savory touches that feel ahead of the curve. After a brief hiatus, Jettison reopened with the same inventive spirit but a friendlier walk-in-only approach.

Rank 12. The Branca Room
Argentine Cocktail Bar
Slip down an alley in the Bishop Arts District and find this speakeasy hidden behind Chimichurri Bistro, marked only by a red light above an unmarked door. Crystal chandeliers and Argentine art set a ceremonious mood where the bartenders excel at spirit-forward drinks, especially those built on amaro or vermouth—order the Amaro Transfusion if you want house-made vermouth and rye served in an IV bag.
