The Best New Cocktail Bars in Los Angeles | Eater LA
"Sleek Tokyo-style cocktail bar Tokyo Noir has landed in Long Beach, tucked into the back alleyway of El Barrio Cantina. The bar comes from restaurateur Jesse Duron and acclaimed bartender Kevin Lee (Puzzle Bar and the Wolves). The cocktails evolve with California’s seasons, prepared using Japanese bartending techniques emphasizing precision and balance. The menu features a lineup of highballs, plus cocktails like the Kaiju with Japanese rum, Midori, creme anglaise, and yuzu. Watch out for Lee throwing cocktails and carving ice behind the bar." - Rebecca Roland
