Located on a busy corner of Santa Monica Boulevard, Employees Only is a speakeasy-inspired, Prohibition-style bar that brings a taste of New York nightlife to L.A. The seasonal offerings rotate every few months, bringing new flavors and innovation to timeless cocktails ranging from martinis to negronis. Some classic cocktails that you’ll always find on the menu include the fruity Hibiscus Rising, which is both floral and tart, and the spicy Ready, Fire, Aim, made with mezcal, honey pineapple, lime, pink peppercorn and hellfire bitters. You’ll also find a solid selection of wines by the glass, but if you’re in the market for a great happy hour, visit Tuesday through Sunday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for fried pickles and discounted drinks.
