Where To Drink With Your Out-Of-Town Friends In LA
"The Varnish is one of LA’s original craft cocktail bars, and even though it’s been pen for over a decade, this Downtown speakeasy feels just as exciting as it did in 2009. There’s no elaborate entrance or gimmicky design scheme, just tremendous cocktails in a low-key atmosphere where you could spend the entire night. If you get hungry, Cole’s is right next door, so you can order french dip sandwiches to the bar." - brant cox, brett keating
