The 8 Best Bars In Highland Park - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you're looking for a mellow spot on Figueroa to sip fancy cocktails with friends, the front room of this Highland Park cocktail bar is a reliably chill option. The moody, low-lit lounge plays 80s throwbacks for an early 30s crowd and serves interesting drinks, like a ginger-infused vodka and blood orange number that might jumpstart your appetite. Fortunately, Arroyo Club also serves an excellent double smashburger with crisp-edged patties and spicy chipotle aioli, which you order using a QR code at the table. If a dancier crowd is more your speed, Arroyo Club shares a back patio with a speakeasy-ish cocktail spot that we like even better, Good Housekeeping." - nikko duren, brant cox
