Blind Barber

Top choice in Los Angeles


Clippers and cocktails conspire at this winning speakeasy. The front section is an actual barbershop, complete with vintage barber chairs and inked staffers. Behind that back-wall door, however, is a dimly lit hideaway, decked out in checkered floors, studded booths and eye-candy barkeeps crafting on-point cocktails. Decent tunes and killer grilled-cheese sandwiches seal the deal.
