Every day during Cocktail Week, Eater will be deploying maps of the city's best destinations for a particularly classic cocktail. Monday we rounded up the martini, Tuesday was the venerable Old Fashioned, and yesterday brought about the Negroni. Today: Manhattans, as quietly classy to drink as the surroundings they tend to come in.

Copa D'Oro

Copy Link

Copa’s Imperfect Manhattan carries a clever name (a nod to how finicky a great Manhattan can be) and a smooth finish, especially when you get the check and find out the drink was only $10.

217 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA 90401
(310) 576-3030

Hinoki & The Bird

Copy Link

Though known for their negronis (and other expansive cocktails), Hinoki also secretly makes one of the city’s best straightforward Manhattans.

10 W Century Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90067
(310) 552-1200
(310) 552-1200

Bar Nineteen 12

Copy Link

Pricey? Sure. But sometimes the surroundings matter just as much as the ingredients when it comes to a classic Manhattan. And the people-watching here is absolutely fantastic.

Tom Bergin's

Sure it’s an Irish bar with clovers on the ceiling, but damn if this place doesn’t pump out one of the city’s best Manhattans.

840 S Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036

Father's Office

Copy Link

Look beyond the burgers and the beers for this quietly satisfying Manhattan. It’s perfect for when you just want to eat, drink, and hang out in peace, while the rest of the room stays loud behind you.

3229 Helms Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
(310) 736-2224

Dominick's

This West Hollywood legend keeps it smooth and simple with a base of Rittenhouse Rye.

8715 Beverly Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90048
(310) 652-2335
(310) 652-2335

The Roger Room

Copy Link

Go classic at this La Cienega spot. A Manhattan in hand will really help you enjoy the full experience of the tucked-away room off the bustling boulevard.

370 N LA Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 854-1300
(310) 854-1300

Also featured in:

Next Door Lounge

Copy Link

This quiet-side Hollywood haunt does a barrel-aged Manhattan (they call theirs the Madattan, for kicks) that is as warming as the weekend nightlife inside.

1154 N Highland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038

The Mixing Room

Copy Link

Yes, it’s inside the JW Marriott, but boy does the Mixing Room put out a quality cocktail. Great for a quick stop before a night at Staples Center.

900 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015
(213) 743-8800
(213) 743-8800

Barrel Down

Copy Link

This newish Downtown spot is mostly known for its craft beer prowess, but their Maple Oak Manhattan, made with real sapling maple, is a star itself.

525 W 7th St, Los Angeles, CA 90014
(213) 232-8657
(213) 232-8657

Cole's

Copy Link

Forget the Varnish in the back — for simple satisfaction and face-stuffing delight, grab a French dip and a Manhattan from the bar. They’re seriously cheap, too.

118 E 6th St, Los Angeles, CA 90014
(213) 622-4090
(213) 622-4090

Also featured in:

Melrose Umbrella Co

Copy Link

The off the menu black Manhattan comes with rye, Averna, and Meletti served on the rocks at this dark drinking den on Melrose. Or get the Digestivi Manhattan, also off the menu, made with rye, cynar, and meletti.

7465 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046
