Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt ranks first on list of best Cocktail Bars in Los Angeles. Thunderbolt is a neighborhood cocktail bar and restaurant located at the crossroads of Historic Filipinotown, Echo Park, and Downtown Los Angeles. From the smiles that greet you to the countless bottles of Madeira on the backbar, they are inspired by the American South. They are ADA compliant and a welcoming environment for all. they believe in inclusion so much that they have a sign on their door that says, "Mind your manners." they want all of their visitors to feel at ease because they are. Their bartenders are some of the best in town, and their kitchen knows how to make a mean biscuit. their beverage program employs cutting-edge technology and innovation to make cocktails more sustainable, efficient, consistent, and, most importantly, delicious.

Thunderbolt, a neighborhood cocktail bar that's big on hospitality and Southern-leaning bites, combines Southern charm and Park's Finest BBQ—but just because Thunderbolt is into Georgia peaches and BBQ doesn't mean this Historic Filipinotown bar is only about juleps. Cocktails here are inventive, joyful, and well-balanced, and they change frequently. They particularly enjoy Thunderbolt's playful concoctions, such as the clarified take on a pia colada (Tropipop) or the rotating selection of carbonated cocktails, and they're particularly fond of the P-Town Boxing Club, made with pandan and coconut-washed rye.
