Mirate

A striking room and a serious agave program give this Los Feliz bar real character. Mírate is best known for cocktails built around mezcal, tequila, and other Mexican spirits, with a list that goes well beyond the usual standards. The drinks feel original without becoming fussy, and the staff has a way of making a deep selection feel welcoming rather than academic. That balance of ambition and ease is what makes it memorable. Come for the bar, stay for the sense that every detail has been chosen with taste and restraint.
