Two Los Angeles bars were named among the 50 “best” in North America, according to a report from North America’s 50 Best Bars.
The rankings were based on votes from 270 anonymous experts ranging from bartenders and bar owners to media and well-traveled “cocktail connoisseurs” from Canada, America, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Thunderbolt, a bar in Echo Park known for its cocktails and Southern-inspired food menu, placed 8th on the list.
Another bar, Mírate, placed 46th on the list. The bar, based in the Los Feliz area, is known for its unique variations of classic cocktails.
Two bars located in San Francisco, True Laurel and Pacific Cocktail Haven, placed 30th and 38th on the list, respectively.
North America’s 50 Best Bars list was launched in 2022 as an effort to “celebrate the best of the region’s drinks industry and shine a much-deserved spotlight on North America as a first-class cocktail destination,” according to the website.
