Where To Take Your Westside Friends Who Never Want To Come To The Eastside - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Westside has plenty of good dive bars - but none of them are quite like Tiki-Ti, the Sunset Junction tiki bar that’s smaller than a Silver Lake studio apartment. This place is a throwback to old school LA bars - it’s cash-only, and there are plenty of surly regulars, but these are some of the best-made and strongest drinks around (don’t even think about driving here if you have more than one). We always order the Ray’s Mistake or the Uga Booga - we really don’t know what’s in either of them besides rum, but they’re both excellent, and ordering the latter results in the entire bar chanting “UGA-BOOGA” at you. That’s an experience everyone needs to have at least once." - brett keating
