The California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt campus will remain closed through the weekend as protesters, including "unidentified non-students," continue to occupy two buildings, school officials said in an update. Drop by on any weekend night for a fun, raucous evening with wonderfully crafted drinks to enhance the mood of the night. Head to the back of Hatchet Hall to find the Old Man Bar, fashioned after a rustic lodge with a fireplace, aged wooden tables, and antique portraits and taxidermy on the walls giving off the vibe of a bygone era. An increasing rarity for the rapidly corporatizing world of LA nightlife, the R6 distillery in El Segundo is, in fact, a family-owned affair.

R6 Distillery

The famed NYC-based hotspot brings its lauded world-class cocktails to L.A.’s Arts District. Head down a staircase into a sleek subterranean den where the bustling 3rd Street above can hardly be heard. Behind classic industrial walls in Venice, you’ll find one of the most incredibly intimate speakeasies in L.A. Old Lightning can host just 25 people and to be one of them, you’ll need to enquire with staff at Scopa Italian Roots (where this cocktail den is hidden) or make a reservation via email.

Though the decor is stylish and sophisticated, the bar adds accents like colorful lights on the ceiling to create a fun ambiance, which is why it is a great spot for dates and hangouts. If there's another variety you prefer, it can almost certainly be found in the over 75 bourbon selections on the menu, many of them small batch bourbons rarely found in other LA bars. Located in The Maybourne Beverly Hills, one of the most upscale hotels in the area code, this bar caters to old fashioned bourbon drinkers. It's a place for those who like to mix bourbon drinks with a quality cigar (the on-site humidor is home to over 1,000), and happens to be one of the only places in otherwise smoke-free Beverly Hills where patrons can sit and have a cigar. Located on bustling La Cienega Boulevard, The Roger Room makes its guests feel like they are stepping into a different world altogether, far away from the nearby Melrose shops.

It has all the retro nostalgia you could ask for to make you feel at home in the heart of Hollywood. Bourbon Steak Los Angeles is Chef Michael Mina’s love letter to the classic American steakhouse. Bourbon Steak invites guests to relax and indulge in a luxurious setting accompanied by the sounds of the signature piano bar.

At Wine & Spirits, Tapia is the critic for the wines of Argentina, Chile and Spain, and regularly contributes articles on these regions. Greene has traveled extensively in the wine regions of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and all the major wine regions of the United States. In addition to his duties as editor and publisher, Greene serves as the critic for Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Portugal, Rioja, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. As a retail buyer, Susannah traveled abroad extensively, especially in Italy and Greece, to learn the stories behind her favorite wines and then connect others with the vines and the humans that make them. Raised to be curious, she finds, after over 20 years in the world of food and wine, that she loves best how wine touches so many disciplines—history, language, geology, cuisine, biology, horticulture—keeping the quest for knowledge fresh every day. Other buildings on the campus in Arcata are at risk of being occupied, and protesters “have shown a willingness” to lock themselves in facilities and steal equipment, the officials said.

The Penicillin is made with Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon Barrel Reserve, while the Boulevardier contains a mix of Old Forester Bourbon, Campari, and Carpano Antica Formula. Make sure to specify that you want the barrel-aged Boulevardier, as there is another cocktail on the list by the same name. Switch it up from classic cocktails by ordering one of the unique drinks on the menu, such as For What It's Worth, which has bourbon, Aperol, Benedictine, and lemon. The bar uses Old Forester bourbon — the oldest bourbon to be bottled and the longest lasting on the market — for this drink, which makes it an extra special treat. Located in the revitalized Historic Core of downtown Los Angeles, Seven Grand is one of the most well-known whiskey and bourbon bars in the city. Walk into the dimly lit bar on the second floor and ask one of the extremely knowledgeable bartenders for their cocktail recommendation.

The changeable nature of the atmosphere of The Roger Room is one of the best things about it. Depending on the day of the week, it could be anything from a low-lit, moody cocktail bar to a dance party.

In a sea of tourist traps and trinket stores surrounding Hollywood Boulevard, this bar is a breath of fresh air. If in the mood for a whisky instead, try the Japanese Maple, made with top-tier Suntory Whisky. Relatively rare for a Los Angeles cocktail bar, the Roger Room also keeps a couple of brands of absinthe in the bar.

After graduating from Princeton University in 1981, Greene pursued a career in magazines, focusing on the management of special-interest publications.

He later enhanced his professional development at Katsuya Group, gaining further experience in the culinary field.

Wander through the iconic Cole’s French Dip and step through an obscure oak door with a picture to find L.A.’s oldest public house.

Born in Cairo, Egypt and raised in Ellensburg, Washington, Chef Michael Mina began his epicurean journey at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. During his formal schooling, he spent his weekends sharpening his skills with hands-on experience by working in Chef Charlie Palmer’s kitchen at the upscale Aureole in New York City. Part of the Hotel Normandie in LA's Koreatown, the posh design and setting of The Normandie Club, as well as its dark and intimate vibe, gives the impression of a somewhat moodier bar than it actually is.
