Cocktail bar · Greater Echo Park Elysian

@eater

"This unassuming Historic Filipinotown/Echo Park cocktail bar has been racking up accolades since opening in 2019. Thunderbolt has been recognized by StarChefs and even captured the No. 8 spot, up from No. 10 in 2023, on North America’s Best Bars list as well as the Best Bar in the West USA award. Bartender/co-owner Mike Capoferri’s innovative drinks include a HiFi-inspired Old Fashioned with coconut-washed rye, a nonalcoholic lychee daiquiri, and a canned pina colada-inspired soda. There’s even a bottle shop where one can pick up natural wine or whiskey to take home." - Caroline Pardilla
