"What It Is: A rum distillery in the Arts District Perfect For: Left-Of-Center Date Night Lost Spirits is a new rum distillery in the Arts District and before you say you gave up rum in college or have little interest in understanding how it’s made, let us stop you. Lost Spirits is not just a distillery. It’s an art installation/jungle cruise/science experiment, with plenty of drinking, and it’s one of the coolest experiences you’ll find in LA right now. In an effort to let you be as awestruck as we were, we’ll withhold any specific details, but just know the $35 admission price is beyond worth it. Each tour lasts around 90 minutes, and you should book tickets well in advance on their website. Verdict: A must-experience whether you’re into rum or not. It’s going on the Bar Hit List." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
