Top 5 Bars in Beverly Hills Where the Locals Go

Beverly Hills has no shortage of glamorous places to order a drink. The trick is finding the ones where locals actually spend their evenings. After years of walking these streets with guests, these are the five we recommend when someone asks where to go after the tour.

1. Beverly Bar

Right in the Golden Triangle, Beverly Bar is a true neighborhood bar and a go-to for a post-work drink. The cocktails are well made and the gastropub menu punches above its weight. Regulars swear by the Wagyu pepperoni pizza, the spicy tuna crispy rice, and the warm butter cake for dessert.

2. The Honor Bar

Consistently busy with locals, The Honor Bar is the kind of polished, comfortable room where you can grab a seat at the bar, order something classic, and stay longer than you planned. It's a reliable choice any night of the week.

3. Dante Beverly Hills

The first West Coast outpost of the famous New York aperitivo bar sits on the ninth-floor rooftop of The Maybourne Beverly Hills, with views out to the Hollywood Hills. Locals time their visits for Dante's daily Martini Hour from 3 to 5 pm. Order the Garibaldi, Dante's signature "fluffy" orange juice cocktail.

4. The Hideaway

Tucked into the Rodeo Collection, The Hideaway is lush, lively, and a little bit of a scene in the best way. It's a great pick when you want dinner and drinks to turn into a night out.

5. Nineteen12 at The Beverly Hills Hotel

For old Hollywood charm, head up Sunset to the Pink Palace. Nineteen12 is the hotel's elegant bar, and locals love its porch for an evening drink with a side of history.

Before you go

• Bar seats at the busiest spots fill fast after 6 pm, so arrive early or reserve a table.
• Dress is Beverly Hills casual: nice jeans work almost everywhere.
• Walking between the Golden Triangle bars is easy. The Beverly Hills Hotel is a short ride up Rodeo to Sunset.

Hours, menus, and storefronts change often in LA. Check before you go.
