Bar Flores

"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"

Bar Flores - Review - Echo Park - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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

The 17 Best Cocktail Bars In Los Angeles - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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

The 9 Best Espresso Martinis In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you’re a fan of tequila, you’ll love the smooth espresso martini at this second-story bar in Echo Park. They use the Mexican spirit as a base for a bit of a kick, but the coffee, honey, and lemon oils help balance things out. We also like that it comes in a sturdy rocks glass instead of a traditional martini glass, since you might have to zig-zag through a crowd as you walk from the bar back to your table." - brant cox, garrett snyder, nikko duren

Where To Eat & Drink When You’re Feeling Hot - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Entering into this Latin cocktail bar in Echo Park feels like stepping into another dimension – one where you’re a gorgeous, [REDACTED]-age person with good taste, and definitely not someone who once spent hours creating a spreadsheet to predict the final matches on Are You The One. There’s a beautiful patio in the back of Bar Flores, 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." - kat hong
