Best Bars 2025 No. 46

Business & Pleasure

It’s business in the front: namely, Super Variety, a friendly local coffee bar and bottle shop. Slip around back for the party. This 21-seat Inglewood cocktail bar is warm, lively and feels familiar in the best way. Drinks are nostalgic, like the Chic-A-Cherry Cola, a highball made with cola syrup, egg white, gin and cherry bitters. The menu looks like a golf scorecard, and the food is an ode to great bar snacks: tiny Cubano sandwiches, baked Brillat-Savarin cheese or sour-cream-and-onion popcorn. The Studio North interior — including a vaulted ceiling made of fir plywood — elevates the space beyond the average local.

Drink
Single malt Scotch-tails, such as Blue Is the Warmest Color, made with Ardbeg Wee Beastie, amari blueberry tea and toasted almond.
Eat
Gussied-up comfort food: mushroom croquettes, shoestring fries, steak au poivre.
