  11. Rank 2618. ABV

    Creative Cocktail Bar

    A cocktail bar in the Mission that looks, from the outside, like it has no particular ambitions. Inside, three bartenders run a tight menu organized by spirit, with drinks that lean creative without requiring a glossary to order. Grapefruit shrubs and smoked pear bitters show up alongside draft beer and wine for anyone not in the mood to commit. The vibe is casual enough that nobody will judge your order either way.

  14. Rank 2618. Atchafalaya

    Cajun & Creole

    The crab cake Benedict comes dressed with a poached egg, hollandaise, and shrimp sauce Américaine, which is either a brunch plate or a personal statement. This cozy Creole restaurant in the Irish Channel has been a neighborhood fixture forever, drawing regulars and out-of-towners equally for a contemporary spin on Louisiana cooking. The room buzzes, the menu leans Southern without being a museum about it, and the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing.

  24. Rank 2618. Boia De

    Contemporary Italian

    A neon-pink exclamation mark glows above the door of this Michelin-starred contemporary Italian restaurant, wedged between a laundromat and a medical center in Buena Vista. The room is small and forest-green, and the staff seem to be enjoying themselves as much as anyone eating there. The menu calls itself Italian, then wanders somewhere more interesting, with house-made pastas and combinations that raise an eyebrow before they make total sense.

  30. The Standing Room, a subterranean lounge tucked under the Arts District, is the reason to come to this Los Angeles outpost of the New York cocktail institution. Death & Co keeps its speakeasy bones, dark and deliberately moody, while the menu organizes its 25 cocktails by personality rather than spirit, which is either very LA or very useful depending on your mood. Californian wines and global beers round things out for anyone who finds the taxonomy exhausting.

  31. Rank 2618. dokidoki

    Japanese

    A standing bar modeled on the Japanese tachinomi tradition, which means you're on your feet, shoulder to shoulder, and the whole room is already talking. Low-alcohol cocktails, sake, and shochu anchor the drinks list, with classics quietly reinterpreted through Japanese and Latin ingredients. The two bartenders behind the counter bring serious cocktail-bar pedigree to a room that wears it lightly, and the small bites fold Japanese technique into Puerto Rican and Salvadoran flavors.

  36. Rank 2618. Funke

    Italian

    Evan Funke's eponymous Italian restaurant occupies a three-story art deco building in Beverly Hills, where a glassed-in room lets you watch pasta being made by hand before it reaches your table. Red leather booths, stone tables, and tall ceilings set a tone that takes itself seriously without taking the fun out of dinner. The menu moves through handmade pasta and wood-fired dishes, the kind of Italian cooking where focaccia alone gets its own moment.

  41. Rank 2618. Hellbender

    Mexican

    The Jell-O of the day changes, but the wobbly whimsy is a constant at this Ridgewood bar turned Mexican restaurant from chef Yara Herrera. Reggaeton and mariachi set the mood while the menu moves between bar snacks and fine-dining technique, the same kitchen handling both with ease. The New York Times named it among New York's best new restaurants in 2025, which feels about right for a place this hard to categorize.

  45. Rank 2618. Iggy's Bar

    Dive Bar

    Pool tables, darts, foosball, and enough televisions to catch the Premier League and a Cleveland Browns meltdown simultaneously. Iggy's is a dive bar on Madison Avenue where the beer list does most of the heavy lifting, though the cocktail menu holds its own and bartenders will mix you something proper when the room quiets down. Themed specials rotate through the week, keeping the regulars from getting too comfortable with the menu.

  51. A two-dozen-seat Thai tapas room in Brookline Village where the menu reads like a love letter to northern Bangkok filtered through a genuinely curious kitchen. Small plates and creative cocktails share equal billing, the Michelin Bib Gourmand crowd sitting close enough to see what everyone else ordered. The New York Times and Boston Magazine have both circled it, which tracks for a spot this compact running this confidently.

  70. Rank 2618. The Duck Inn

    Modern American

    A pre-Prohibition corner tavern in Bridgeport where the chef behind it grew up, came back, and quietly made the Chicago dog the most labored thing on any bar menu in the city, built on housemade duck-fat sausage. The rotisserie duck arrives on a chopping block, the Italian beef uses prime rib shavings, and the whole room reads like fine-dining instincts filtered through a neighborhood tavern that never forgot what it was supposed to be.

  83. You get into this cocktail bar through a fridge door, which tells you roughly everything you need to know about the vibe before you've ordered a drink. Once inside, the mood pivots hard from novelty to velvet-draped, warmly lit Old World opulence. It was built in collaboration with Sam Ross of Attaboy, and the CH Projects crew behind it has a habit of making San Diego's more theatrical drinking rooms.


  84. The awards


  85. The acoustically treated walls mean the sound hits you right no matter where you sit, which matters when the names on stage have included Esperanza Spalding and Bill Frisell. Dazzle is Denver's long-running jazz club, the kind that draws serious talent week after week and keeps the bar busy with martinis and a four-cheese mac that regulars order without looking up. DownBeat placed it among the top 100 jazz clubs in the world.

  87. The building was a brothel, a flophouse, and a peep-show parlor before it became this. Now it's a bar and live-music venue dressed in 70s swank, vintage soft-core art, and low-slung lounges surrounding a sunken stage. The team calls it a "gastro-brothel," which is not a word you forget. Small plates and cocktails run alongside whatever's on stage, and the whole thing is loud, garish, and extremely committed to the bit.

  89. A small Tempe shop packed floor to ceiling with single issues, trade paperbacks, manga, graphic novels, and enough indie and small-press titles to make a distributor nervous. Staff carry the kind of encyclopedic knowledge that can match a superfan or gently redirect someone who just wandered in. The wall of collectibles, including some genuinely odd merch, rewards browsing. Recent shelf finds included "Sir Charles Barkley and the Referee Murders," so the range is real.


  90. A geodesic dome built to look like a beehive sits inside this late-night dance bar and immersive art venue in RiNo. The team behind it took Tulum and Burning Man as their starting points, then handed the space to a crew of local artists, so you get vine-covered bars and a garden courtyard that somehow make sense together. It draws the kind of crowd that dresses for the art as much as the dancing.

  91. The shelves at this beloved Phoenix used bookstore run from paperback thrillers to vintage board games to vinyl, and somewhere in between you'll find a ukulele someone gave up on. Bookmans is a used-everything exchange, the kind of place where you drop off a box of stuff you're done with and walk out with an armful of things you absolutely didn't need. Plan for an afternoon; nobody browses Bookmans quickly.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
