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.

Directly across the street. Used to be called Pete's Cafe, which was chill and relaxed. Now it's an uppity, polished establishment. Still serves awesome food, and it's convenient.

This is a really trendy hipster bar. Inside, you'll find a horse statue with underwear on its head, a little dance room in the back, and lots of cool quirky people.

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.

Another great rooftop bar (the other two are The Standard Rooftop and Perch). This one is brand-new, and the Ace hotel is located inside the old United Artists theater, which is a historical landmark.

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.

One of the coolest places downtown. Perch is situated on the roof of a 13-story building just a couple blocks away. It serves awesome French food and has a two-level killer bar. The views are badass.
