House keys? Check. Cash to tip the bartender? Check. Uber? No need. Here are three bars to hit for each Los Angeles Metro Line

Let’s be honest, no one really wants to be the designated driver for an L.A. bar crawl. Taking a page out of New York, Chicago and San Francisco’s playbook, we plan to explore three bars on each line of the L.A. Metro.

The B Line

Sunset and Vinyl

Hiding on the second floor of an unassuming pizza place, Sunset and Vinyl is a classic cocktail bar dedicated to spinning vinyl all night. The mismatched furniture transports you to a beatnik smoking den, with the possibility of the soundtrack matching just that vibe. 

Harvard and Stone

After all the cocktails you can stomach, it’s time to dance! Harvard and Stone transports you back to the millennial era with its industrial decor and craft cocktails setting the tone for whatever musical act of the night is up next. The bar is very diverse, but tends to lean towards alternative music acts.

The Virgil

Another bar mostly known for their themed music events (some of which are free!), at the Virgil you’re always in for a musical treat. Before heading to the venue, check their weekly or monthly event list to see who’s rocking out or spinning wax for the night.

The D Line

The Wolves

Looking for a roaring ’20s night out? Look no further. The critically acclaimed cocktail bar and restaurant The Wolves first opened its doors almost a decade ago and has remained one of downtown’s most classy late-night spots. If in-house cocktail ingredients aren’t enough, the bar sits in the historic Alexandria Hotel building, as if it couldn’t get any more classy.

The Normandie Club

Lucky for you, that Metro ride saved you the headache you’d get trying to find parking for this K-Town bar. The Normandie Club is an inventive, unapologetic cocktail lounge you’re sure to spend most of the night in. Between the Instagrammable drinks and low-light atmosphere, you’re set for a good time.

Frank ‘n Hank

Frank n’ Hank’s isn’t anything fancy, but it isn’t trying to be. This classic K-Town dive bar is cheap, tiny and exactly the place you want to end the night. They pour a strong gin and tonic and have a solid jukebox with alternative hits from every decade. If you do want to play pool, however, make sure to get your name on the list the second you walk in.

The C Line

Highly Likely

Cafe-by-day and cocktail bar-by-night, Highly Likely does it all. As if the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus couldn’t get any better, they have both a daytime and nighttime cocktail menu, meaning this bar crawl could really start any time of day. Their current summer lineup features refreshing twists on old-school cocktails, and is a perfect way to cool off from the heat.

The Den Bar and Grill

The Den Bar and Grille is a family-owned local spot that hosts a myriad of events such as paint and sip nights, karaoke, bands, burlesque, DJs—absolutely anything you can think of. If you’re in the mood to keep the cocktails flowing, they do have a unique Mexican-inspired list that tends to follow the theme of whatever event is happening that night.

Sam First

Between the beautiful mid-century-modern interior and rhythmic jazz, Sam First is the perfect way to end the C Line bar crawl. Ambiance doesn’t even begin to describe this stylized bar, and the extensive spirits list only makes it better. Sam First features anyone from world-class musicians to budding jazz bands straight out of music school

The A Line

Footsie’s

You are certain to find yourself in some trouble at Footsie’s. You don’t come to this punk bar for a cocktail served in a long-stemmed martini glass; you come to dance to goth, new wave, punk and other alternative DJs. This bar is home for many Angelenos, so make sure you come in ready to have a good time.

La Cuevita

Imagine a brick cave with kitschy decor and a vast selection of tequila. That’s exactly what you’ll find at La Cuevita. In the heart of Highland Park, this bar is known for their mezcal cocktails and vaguely gothic vibe. Bonus points for their taco nights and DJ dance parties.

Sid’s Bar

Located in what was once a schoolhouse, Sid’s Bar shares their space with indie music venue Sid The Cat Auditorium. Between their green-light interior and Tiffany-esque lamps, Sid’s Bar keeps the genuine vintage character of the space while modernizing it for a young, hip crowd.

The K Line

Six Seven Five Lounge

Jazz and Soul Food? Say less. Six Seven Five Lounge is a crafted cocktail bar that knows how to put on a good show. The restaurant often hosts drink specials and a rotating list of live music. The flashy exterior is a perfect reflection of what you’ll get inside: precise drinks, good food and striking performances.

The District by GS

If you’re planning on going to The District, get ready to party and definitely come hungry. Featuring an extensive menu of American classics and colorful cocktails, this club has become a place for the community to come together, share a meal and dance off dinner.

Harold and Belle’s

Opening in 1969, this iconic L.A. institution needs no introduction. Harold and Belle’s is located in the New Orleans Corridor, a historic neighborhood in South L.A. This soul food restaurant is the perfect place to grab a house cocktail and enjoy a bowl of gumbo so good you forget you’re not on the bayou.

The E Line

The Chestnut Club

If you’re looking to disconnect and have a long talk with friends over drinks, The Chestnut Club is your way to go. With over 400+ spirits and countless craft cocktails, there is plenty to try at this low-light bar. The intentionally TV-free environment urges patrons to live in the moment, so cozy up in a leather booth and enjoy the night.

Weary Livers

Weary Livers has the vibe of an old, spooky Victorian haunted house with the drinks of a college town dive bar. The bar often hosts themed mixers such as singles night, karaoke with friends or chess nights. You know what to expect when you come to a bar like Weary Livers, and it’s exactly what you’re looking for every time.

Dusty Vinyl

Dusty Vinyl is a relatively new bar to the Santa Monica area, but it already has established itself as a fun place to have a craft cocktail and play some pool. The bar is sleek, with a ’70s Playboy den vibe all set to the soundtrack of live music. Keep your eye out for their food pop-ups featuring chefs from all across L.A.
