Inside Mar Vista’s Little Fatty, you’ll find David Kuo’s Taiwanese soul food, plus an L-shaped bar with an ever-changing cocktail menu that somehow makes the most de rigueur drinks feel exciting. In the care of beverage director Ramsey Musk—recently named one of Punch’s Best New Bartenders—the menu’s been given a distinctive refresh that’s put Accomplice back on our radar the next time we’re looking to grab a drink on the Westside. During daily happy hour (5–6pm, 10–11pm), you’ll find $10 versions of “trashy ’90s drinks done right,” like an apple martini made with pear eau de vie and clarified Granny Smith cordial. But Musk impresses us most with his regular cocktail menu, which dares to be different with savory ingredients like scallion-black pepper oil and truffle honey. The current theme is “A Moment in Time,” which features inventive, well-balanced creations like Mornings at Sapp (a rye-based drink involving Thai tea and yellow curry) and Paris, 2022 (a breezy, bubbly concoction with a faint truffle aftertaste) that draw inspiration from the veteran bartender’s cherished memories.
