Hours: Daily 7 p.m.-2 a.m.

Type: Bars & Nightclubs

At The Varnish, a pint-sized speakeasy-style bar tucked away in downtown Los Angeles, classic cocktails are making a comeback. Try the bar's version of Remember the Maine, a Manhattan-style cocktail with sweet vermouth, cherry Heering, a dash of Pernod absinthe and nutty Old Overholt rye. Entered through a nondescript door (except for a framed picture of a cocktail coupe) at the back of Cole's French Dip, Varnish maintains a secretive aura. It's a common trait among Sasha Peraske's family of nostagia bars, including New York's once-exclusive Milk & Honey. Petraske, Eric Alperin and Los Angeles nightlife impresario Cedd Moses are partners in Varnish, which has Angelenos trekking downtown for Palma fizzs and hot-buttered rums.—Tanvi Chheda
