Downtown bars quenching every thirst
Faster than you can say "martini, extra dry with a twist," it seems that another cocktail or wine bar has popped up downtown, where an already burgeoning drinking scene might be considered ground zero for the city's classic-cocktail revival.
Santa Monica may have its beachy watering holes and Hollywood its plushy lounges, but ask any imbibing aficionado: Downtown seems to have it all. Tucked-away speakeasies, swank supper clubs, updated dives, high-end restaurants with sophisticated cocktail programs, and spirit-specific bars that are altars to mezcal, whiskey or rum.

Casey's Grill and Irish Pub at 6th and Grand is my favorite place to hang. The service and food are great! The live music on the weekends isn't anything to sneeze at as well.
