The 22 Best Cocktail Bars in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Even after taking over the space of Red Room, a longtime neighborhood watering hole in Long Beach, twice Spirit Awards-nominated Baby Gee has endeared itself to the community. Its funky vintage decor suits 4th Street’s Retro Row vibes while the bar serves up playful seasonal cocktails with elevated touches and esoteric flavors. Co-owner Gianna Johns, who has trained under bar stars Julian Cox and Leo Robitschek, creates compelling cocktails like a tequila and mezcal Appletini with poblano and sunchoke. Stop by during the weekday happy hour to score free garlic-chipotle popcorn and $4 hot dogs as well as drink deals like $10 cocktails and half off a bottle of wine." - Caroline Pardilla
