Intimate cocktail bar with spirit-focused drinks and aromatic flair

"Holy Water is a strange place. The tiny West Hollywood cocktail bar has yellow-tinted windows that give off a cinematic—and slightly disorienting—glow. Woody Harrelson owns the place. Most significantly, there’s a secret back patio that looks like a Costa Rican eco-lodge. You can’t drink back there, but it's worth taking time to explore. You’ll find multiple hidden treehouses for hanging out, giant koi ponds, and a family of free-roaming macaws—if you ever wanted to get buzzed and walk around the island from Lost, this is your safest option." - brant cox
"Holy Water is a strange place to drink. The tiny cocktail bar on Santa Monica Blvd. is attached to The Woods, an upscale dispensary with a secret back patio that looks like a Costa Rican eco-lodge. Yellow-tinted front windows give off a cinematic—and slightly disorienting—glow. Woody Harrelson owns the place. There’s a lot going on, but mostly Holy Water is just a lovely, casual neighborhood bar with great cocktails. The drink menu changes seasonally, but expect spirit-focused cocktails that might come with one or two aromatic ingredients lit on fire by the bartender. You can’t drink on the back patio, but leave time to explore afterward. You’ll find multiple hidden treehouses, giant koi ponds, and a family of free-roaming macaws—if you ever wanted to get buzzed and walk around Jurassic Park, this is your safest option. " - brant cox

"In case you didn’t know, Woody Harrelson–yes, Woody Harrelson–has dipped his toes into the hospitality business. More specifically, he’s a co-owner of Holy Water, a new cocktail bar in Weho next door to his cannabis business, The Woods. Heads up, smoking is not allowed at Holy Water, and the cocktail menu is short and sweet, with six drinks to choose from (plus a zero-proof option). " - Sylvio Martins
