Los Angeles
Bar Henry
Bar Henry is a small Echo Park cocktail bar on Sunset Boulevard that gets the neighborhood-bar formula right without being boring about it. The room is intimate and velvet-upholstered, with moody lighting and a sound system that actually matters to the people running it. The drink list covers craft cocktails, natural wines, and a deep selection of beer and cider, with no food to speak of. Weeknights are relaxed enough for conversation; weekends fill up fast given the limited seating. It is a genuinely good local bar in a part of LA where those are harder to find than they should be.
