Every week, Eater editors offer spots to drink over the weekend
By the time Friday finally comes around, we here at Eater LA start to get pretty darn thirsty. After drinking our way around town, we’re here to be your guide to the city’s best watering holes, whether it be a craft beer mecca or a hidden speakeasy for cult rums. Yup, we’ve officially become your favorite drinking companion.
Here now, three bars to try this weekend in Los Angeles:
For a casual drink while you shop: Bacari GDL
The first time you step into Bacari GDL, newly opened as part of the sprawling Americana complex in Glendale, you might not realize where you are. With its roll-up front, sidewalk seating, and tall ceilings, the place is more suited for Downtown or the heart of Santa Monica. Yet there it is across the street from Shake Shack and a stone’s throw from Cheesecake Factory, turning out tons of wines by the glass, craft beers, and boozy drinks from the intimate bar. This could be a dangerously good new place to slip away for a sip between shopping bouts at the mall beyond. 757 Americana Way, Glendale.
