Creative cocktails, mezcal list, and a lush patio
"Perched on a second floor with an open patio perfect for catching the Echo Park breeze, this woman-owned spot is a sunny, social paradise where the house Margarita (available with tequila or mezcal and infused with hibiscus, giving it an adorably pink hue) can be ordered by the pitcher so you can linger with friends; note that they run $9 Margaritas on Wednesdays until midnight." - Esther Tseng
"In Los Angeles, Bar Flores mixes passionfruit with fermented mango and habañero in a cocktail, demonstrating how bars are pairing the fruit with bold, spicy ingredients." - Flora Tsapovsky
"Posted next door to each other along the Echo Park stretch of Sunset Boulevard, Lowboy and Ba,r Flores are two of the area’s most beloved spots. They’re great stops on a bar crawl, but I like to order a smash burger at the Lowboy window and bring it upstairs to Bar Flores for a cocktail on the patio. —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer"
"Casual, beautiful, and fragrant, Bar Flores is one of the best new places to drink on the Eastside. Located above the recently opened Lowboy and Adamae, stepping into this Latin cocktail bar is like stepping into a different, much better world. There’s a gorgeous patio in the back, the drinks are strong and taste great (the sangria should win some international award), and we have no clue what’s in the air, but it smells better than an Aesop showroom in here. Sure, you’re dealing with the usual Echo Park crowd of NPR shirts, but all things considered, this is a truly excellent bar." - Kat Hong
"Just above Donna’s and Lowboy, Bar Flores resembles a treehouse filled with really good mezcal. This Echo Park bar is for people who don’t want to stay home and drink in an actual living room, but still want to spend time together. The compact cocktail menu has a nice balance of classics and creative originals, like a rhubarb-tinged negroni infused with prickly pear—the kind of stuff you order on a first date to impress someone with your “I just Googled this” knowledge of rare spirits. If it’s sunny, grab a bistro table on the brick patio surrounded by blooming bougainvillea bushes—there’s no better place to sip a cocktail outdoors in the neighborhood." - brant cox, sylvio martins
