A must-visit 20s-themed bar built in the city's old electricity factory. It's full of giant turbines and beautiful golden decor. Hundred-foot ceilings, acrobats, and absinthe fairies. Yes, fairies.

Brand-new speakeasy/lounge located in the basement of the adjoining building. Impossible to spot from the street--the only sign of its existence is a big blue door. Downstairs, the drinks are awesome.

Hands-down one of the raddest rooftop bars in LA. The views of the DTLA skyscrapers are insanely awesome--every bit as cool as the city views in New York. Crowd is fun. Cool 60s-modern decor.

Great place for the original French dip sandwich. Like many places in DTLA, this is a pretty 1920s-themed spot. Also, the Varnish in the back room is a really trendy speakeasy with amazing cocktails.

Right downstairs. Considered by many to be one of the best restaurants in LA. The "baco" is a weird sandwich/wrap thing that the chef has invented, and they're all delicious. So is everything else.
