The Best LA Bars For Your Birthday

"Not every birthday has to be an all-night affair involving 1am tequila shots and frantic discussions about where to continue drinking after last call. The Semi Tropic is the ideal place to go for a calmer group celebration involving draft wine and extremely well-made cocktails. The crowd is cool, but in a “that guy is probably in a Soundcloud-famous band” way, not a tiny sunglasses way. Take over one of the big booths, and it won’t be long before you stop using your phones for photos and buy a couple packs of Polaroid film (camera rental included)." - brant cox, brett keating
