Neat is a liquor lounge on Pico Boulevard in West LA that centers its program around whiskey and mezcal, with over 60 mezcals and a whiskey selection that goes well past a hundred bottles. The bartenders know the inventory and can walk you through the differences in a way that feels educational without being condescending. The room is larger than most bars in this category, with small tables spaced far enough apart that privacy is possible even on a busy weekend night. The Old Fashioned is a consistent recommendation. Daily happy hour runs 5 to 8pm with reduced prices across cocktails, beer, and wine. It is a serious spirits bar that manages to feel approachable rather than exclusive.
