1. Thunderbird Lounge

    A retro dive bar in the Melrose District that transplants the 1980s wholesale—vintage furniture with provenance, a cigarette machine, free arcade games—while stocking Midwestern comfort-food staples like Old Style and Jay's chips alongside proper cocktails. The backyard patio sprawls with picnic tables and lawn games under a curated jukebox that always spins Marty Robbins, a wink to the shuttered Thunderbird that inspired it in Glendale.
