The Normandie Club

Tucked away in Koreatown, The Normandie Club has carved out a reputation as one of LA’s premier cocktail destinations. This dimly lit drinking den exudes the kind of effortless sophistication that makes you want to sit up a little straighter and order something more interesting than your usual.

The cocktail program here is the real draw. Whether you’re a whiskey devotee or prefer something more inventive, the bartenders know their craft and take pride in every pour. The menu balances classic preparations with creative interpretations, all executed with precision and care.

The intimate space means things can get cozy when the crowds roll in, so this isn’t the spot for your birthday party or work happy hour. But for a duo looking to set the mood for a memorable evening, or a quiet catch-up session with a good friend, the atmosphere is pitch perfect.

If you’re trying to show someone why LA’s bar scene deserves serious respect, The Normandie Club makes a compelling case. Come early if you want a seat, dress like you mean it, and settle in for some of the finest drinks Koreatown has to offer.
