Bar Franca sits in Downtown LA and has evolved into a music-forward cocktail bar under the Midnight Lovers DJ collective. Thursdays through Saturdays you can expect jazz, house, disco, or funk on the decks and a crowd that actually wants to dance. The cocktail list has been revamped to match the energy, with drinks like the Al Pastor Margarita using a chorizo-spiced cordial alongside tequila and pineapple. It is a late-night spot, opening at 9pm on weekends, and the combination of good drinks and real music programming makes it stand out in a neighborhood that doesn't lack for options.
