The Tap Room

On our lists of the best cocktail bars and live music venues in Los Angeles.

Part of the Langham Huntington, the 1907 hotel that Henry Huntington bought and renamed after taking over from the bankrupt developer who built it, holds this bar. It opened just after Prohibition ended and still keeps its original wood paneling and moody, low-lit feel through a 2010 refresh. Live music runs Thursday through Saturday, mixing jazz, pop and soul, and the food menu follows produce sourced from local growers where possible alongside a wine list built around Napa Valley and imports. Zero-proof cocktails sit on the menu next to the classics, with both indoor and patio seating available.
