Accomplice Bar

Tucked away on Grand View Boulevard in West LA, Accomplice Bar might fool you at first glance. Its unassuming exterior suggests one of those quiet neighborhood wine spots you’d take visiting relatives to. Step inside, though, and you’ll discover something far more compelling: a sleek cocktail bar serving drinks so exceptional they’re worth crossing town for.

The cocktail menu here is where Accomplice truly shines. Their signature drink, The Other Side Of Green, showcases the bar’s creative approach—pear brandy meets celery in a combination that somehow captures the essence of springtime in a glass. It’s the kind of drink that makes you sit back, take another sip, and wonder why more bars don’t take these kinds of risks.

What sets Accomplice apart from typical cocktail lounges is its relaxed, neighborhood feel combined with serious drink craftsmanship. There’s no pretension here, just well-made cocktails in comfortable surroundings. And if hunger strikes mid-drink, you can order food from the Taiwanese restaurant next door and enjoy it at your table—a practical touch that speaks to the bar’s laid-back vibe.

Whether you’re a West LA local looking for a new regular spot or someone willing to make the trek from across the city, Accomplice delivers on its promise. Come for the cocktails, stay for the atmosphere, and maybe grab some Taiwanese food along the way.
