"No one would consider Mar Vista a tentpole of LA nightlife, but this sleepy Westside neighborhood is home to one of our favorite neighborhood cocktail bars in the city. Accomplice is the kind of place you walk into at 6:30pm for a quick drink after work and end up staying for three hours because the bartender knows how to hold a conversation about anything other than the Lakers, and the vodka Negroni is too good to only have one. Plus, if you get hungry, you can order food from Little Fatty, the Taiwanese spot next door." - brant cox, brett keating
