The Wolves
A sophisticated DTLA cocktail bar crafting innovative drinks with theatrical flair in a dark, romantic setting.

Tucked away in Downtown LA’s historic Spring Street corridor, The Wolves has carved out a reputation as one of the city’s most captivating cocktail destinations. Step inside and you’re immediately transported into a moody, intimate world where leather seating and rich wood accents create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and decidedly modern. This isn’t your average watering hole—it’s a place where drinks are treated as an art form.
The cocktail program here is nothing short of exceptional. Their bartenders transform the bar into a stage, employing fire, smoke, and carefully orchestrated techniques to craft drinks that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. The Old Fashioned stands out as a must-try, featuring 10-year aged scotch paired with house-made olive and aromatic bitters—a sophisticated twist on a beloved classic that showcases the creativity driving this establishment.
What sets The Wolves apart from other upscale bars is its commitment to an elevated drinking experience without the pretense. The no-standing policy means every guest gets a proper seat, though it also means you might need to add your name to a list during prime hours. This small inconvenience only adds to the sense that you’re somewhere special, a place that values quality over quantity and takes pride in making each visit memorable.
For cocktail enthusiasts seeking a romantic evening or anyone looking to mark a special occasion with drinks that match the moment, The Wolves delivers on every level. Come prepared to linger, sip slowly, and appreciate the craftsmanship in your glass.
