Drinking FIRST SIP


d Pacific Seas ttttt L.A.’s storied tiki bar scene gets a


boost with the arrival of Pacific Seas, a kitsch-laden tropical lounge on the top floor of Clifton’s Cafeteria. Amidst blowfish lamps, Polynesian masks and a stage for musical acts, curious imbibers can sip on all the tiki classics: mai tais, daiquiris and an impressively strong Singapore Sling. Drink a couple, and you might find yourself onstage with the occasional singing mermaid. à 648 S Broadway (213-627-1673, cliftonsla.com)


d Tribute ttttt Cozied up next to the


Mexican restaurant Te’kila in Sherman Oaks, Tribute distinguishes itself from other bars on the block with a suited-up doorman, velvet curtains and cocktails like the Paper Lantern, a gin-based beauty topped with a frothy layer of egg white. Make friends with the bartenders and they’ll happily accept your song requests. à 13817 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks (818-981-1334, bartribute.com)


f Tabula Rasa Bar ttttt Bestia alums Zach Negin and Daniel Flores have finally given


Thai Town a neighborhood wine bar of its own. Adorned with booths primed for first dates and a narrow bar setup that welcomes solo drinkers, this spot gives you plenty of excuses to stop by for an admirably affordable glass of wine, beer or one of the best Cubanos in the city. à 5125 Hollywood Blvd (213-290-6309, tabularasabar.com)
