Bar Next Door

Located in the old office of Marilyn Monroe's talent agent on Sunset Boulevard, this dime-sized West Hollywood bar debuted at No. 100 on North America's extended list with a programme that names drinks after nearby LA icons—a clarified paloma rosé spritz inspired by the Beverly Hills Hotel, a pisco-and-passion-fruit ode to the Viper Room. The intimate space fills with coworkers and solo drinkers at the bar on weeknights and packs to the walls on weekends. Bar Next Door proves that a Sunset Strip address and craft cocktail ambition are no longer contradictions.
