The Bungalow

On our lists of the best cocktail bars, activities and arcades & games in Los Angeles.

The bar sits at the entrance to the Fairmont Miramar, laid out like a Baja beach house with rooms named the Study, the State Room, and the Billiards Room grouped around a main bar warmed by a wood-burning stove. A brick garden patio and a wooden deck open onto the ocean, and a side room holds a pool table and a ping-pong table. Fire pits and hanging lanterns light the front deck after dark, and it runs as a full bar with no kitchen on site.
