Los Angeles
Cocktail Bar
$$$$

When you think large-format cocktails you’re probably thinking tiki first, and that’s exactly what Purple Orchid does best. The fun, rough around the edges El Segundo spot specializes in tropical cocktail classics like the Singapore Sling, Scorpion, and Navy Grog, in addition to their own creations like the blended rum and banana Curious George. And for a few extra dollars you can upgrade almost all of their tropical cocktails into a Volcano Bowl—yes, it does come with live fire in the middle.
How to book: Walk-ins only.
