The Count's Den

On our list of the best cocktail bars in Los Angeles.

Red walls and low light fill the dining hall at this Downtown Los Angeles space, packed with enough furniture, nooks and decor that the room plays much bigger than it is. It doubles as the home base for the Immersive Art Collective, a nonprofit that stages theatrical dinners and themed nights here, alongside private rentals for parties, corporate functions and film shoots. The gothic decor supplies the backdrop; what happens inside changes with whatever production has booked the room that night.
