The Normandie Club at Hotel Normandie
Proprietors, LLC and 213 Hospitality's dark and seductive saloon, located inside the renovated Hotel Normandie, is a testament to Koreatown's emerging cocktail revival, which is quickly emerging as a viable alternative to Downtown. This is one of the Best Hotel Bars In L.A. The creators of Honeycut and Seven Grand wisely decided to reinvent the classics rather than take the stodgy cocktail-snob approach.
There are a variety of drinks available in The Normandie Club, from a farm-to-bar Bloody Mary ($13) to a coconut-almond Old Fashioned ($13), all of which are intended to appeal to the casual drinker. Drinkers who prefer a custom concoction can completely ignore the menu and place an order. However, don't be shocked if the Tattle Tale ($13), a double scotch-and-bitters combo that will leave you in a haze for the remainder of the evening, becomes your new favorite alcoholic beverage. You feel like an insider, and a pretty comfortable one at that, thanks to the dim lighting, cozy leather booths, and general New York City sensibility (like Death & Co.).
Visitors to the Normandie Club may anticipate a manageable list of seven classic drinks—drinks like the daiquiri, Collins, and Manhattan—all whipped up without the slightest hint of pretense. The Collins ($13) is an easy-to-sip, fizzy refresher made with tequila, pineapple, lemon, campari, cinnamon, and pear brandy, and it's garnished with a cute umbrella. It tastes like spring vacation when you eat it. Try the outrageously flavorful Bloody Mary ($13), which is prepared and loaded with fresh tomato, celery, and red bell pepper juices, lemon salt, and pepper, as well as the Scandinavian alcohol Aquavit, which tastes similar to vodka but has a dill flavor. Make sure to arrive early and keep an eye out for vacant banquettes for the best experience.
