"They say god never closes a door without opening a window, which is how we’d describe the situation at No Smoking, a tongue-in-cheek dive bar that replaced beloved Mid-City haunt Mandrake Bar. The new owners added some retro beer memorabilia and wood paneling that make the place look a little like a cabin in Big Bear cabin, but they also kept the drinking den's scrappy charm fully intact (well drinks go for $12 and there’s a daily happy hour from 4-7pm). Come for the chill patio in the back, low-fi DJs that spin on weekends, and a cheeky cocktail list that includes whisky highballs on tap, frozen ube coladas, and a damn smooth coffee negroni." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"Beloved Mid-City haunt Mandrake Bar has been reborn as No Smoking Bar, an easygoing drinking spot on La Cienega with $12 well drinks and a daily happy hour from 4-7pm. The new owners added some retro beer memorabilia and wood paneling that make the place look a little like a Big Bear cabin, but the overall feel remains the same. Cocktails include Japanese whisky highballs on tap, frozen ube coladas, and a drink called the Incredible Hulk Jr. with Powerade and Hpnotiq." - sylvio martins
"A Los Angeles bar where the chef worked earlier in his career; a colleague brought a portable Japanese can opener (the Ganji Kankiri) into the kitchen there, sparking his lasting obsession with its simple, durable, and highly portable design." - Monica Burton
