The Best Places In LA To Drink During The Holidays - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Tiki bars and old dives are not the same thing, except they kind of are at this spot. This Long Beach bar is somewhere you can play pool, eat wings, and order a rum cocktail from a bartender wearing a Hawaiian shirt. And during this time of year, it can put even your Scrooge of a father-in-the-law in the holiday spirit. The space is lined with tinsel and twinkly lights, there’s an animatronic Santa throwing up shaka signs, and the bar takes holiday cocktails seriously. Try the Rudolph’s Flame, with amaro, pineapple, and cinnamon-cranberry syrup, and the Whiteout Conditions (“served hot!”) with mezcal-spiked white chocolate butter batter." - sylvio martins, brant cox
