The most socially acceptable way to drink before noon, bottomless brunch wasn’t invented in L.A., but we’ve certainly perfected the sport of pairing our bacon and eggs with a side of sugary, great-tasting booze. For the weekends when you’re not headed to the hiking trails or getting away from the city, these restaurants are ready to fill your cup with sparkling white wine and orange juice, plus Aperol Spritzes, Bloody Marys, margaritas, sangria and rosé. They may not all offer the best brunch (we’ve got a separate list for that) or brunch with a side of drag, but these eateries faithfully serve the best drink deals for those hoping to day drink on special occasions—even if the occasion is just the weekend. Find yourself a designated driver, remember to stay hydrated and party on at these weekend brunch spots from the Westside to the Valley.

L.A.’s best bottomless brunch, ranked

  • Soul and southern American
  • Baldwin Hills
  • price 2 of 4

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 11am–4pm
Bottomless: Mimosas, bellinis and Bloody Marys

Delicious modern soul food, a lively atmosphere and the $18 bottomless mimosa deal have made Post & Beam one of the city’s best brunches—and now it’s available all weekend long. The Black-owned restaurant’s daytime menu includes oxtail hash, shrimp and grits with scrambled eggs and other decadent dishes that will definitely help soak up all the booze—and there’s even two compelling plant-based options for vegans as well.

  • American creative
  • Downtown Fashion District
  • price 3 of 4

Brunch hours: Sun 10:30am–3pm
Bottomless: Mimosas

The Hoxton’s rooftop restaurant comes courtesy of Stephanie Izard, whose Girl & the Goat outpost is one of our favorite restaurants in the Arts District. In similar Chicago-to-L.A. fashion, Downtown’s Cabra is the second location of the Top Chef winner’s Peruvian-inspired small plates concept, with Izard’s usual sharp, playful takes on dishes like striped bass ceviche and lomo saltado. From appetizers to dessert, there’s something memorable and delicious for everyone to love at Cabra. Now, you can wash it all down with a $35 DIY mimosa deal that lets you mix and match freshly squeezed fruit juices with a bottle of sparkling wine.

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 10am–2pm
Bottomless: Mimosas; 90-minute limit

With the patio shades pulled up on weekend mornings, this usually sultry Japanese American restaurant in Hermosa Beach offers some of the best brunch in the South Bay—and the $22 bottomless mimosa deal is just the cherry on top. Made with mango-infused orange juice, Ryla adds a special touch to the usually slapped together drink deal. The dazzling chef-driven food menu includes plenty of Sunday Funday decadence like Nashville hot chicken karaage, a fluffy Japanese soufflé pancake and a savory Taiwanese scallion crepe stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon.

  • Hollywood
  • price 3 of 4

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 11am–3pm
Bottomless: Rosé

With "functional" ingredients and a vibey rooftop atmosphere, this health-conscious restaurant by celebrity chef Michael Mina provides a refined, elevated way to enjoy bottomless brunch. The $30 "rosé all day" special, offered only at brunch, features your choice of sommelier-selected sparkling or still rosé. Pair your drink with executive chef Fernando Darin's $39 prix-fixe menu, which includes a starter and entrée, and a basket of Mother Tongue's tasty gluten-free pastries.

  • West Third Street
  • price 2 of 4

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 10:30am–3pm
Bottomless: Mimosas, bellinis, wine, sangria or beer; 90-minute limit

With locations across the city, a menu with a little bit of something for everyone and a killer happy hour, this local chain is a go-to for many Angelenos—including for a boozy brunch. Each outpost has its own unique charms, but we’re partial to the West 3rd Street location, where the cave-like entrance transports you to a garden-like setting that’s perfect for brunch. Choose from bottomless mimosas, strawberry bellinis or sparkling sangria for $32 per person as you enjoy share-style small plates that pull from the global pantry—think Oaxacan pasta, shawarma tacos and a gluten-free Dutch baby pancake with fruit, honey and créme fraiche.

  • Californian
  • Santa Monica
  • price 3 of 4

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 11am–2:30pm
Bottomless: Draft beer or sangria; 90-minute limit

Situated inside Santa Monica's Fairmont Miramar, and perilously close to the Bungalow (which opens at noon), this lobby and poolside hotel bistro serves a seasonally driven brunch menu with everyone's favorites. But if we're being honest, we're not coming here purely for the food—it's the extremely bougie Westside atmosphere and $45 Kegs and Eggs deal that brings us in the door, which includes your choice of entrée and bottomless draft beer or sangria. Note that Fig won't serve the Kegs and Eggs deal to parties larger than eight—so if you're bringing your whole entourage, just order a la carte and head straight to the notorious singles' bar (and party spot for out-of-towners) just outside the hotel.

With its high ceilings and vintage tiled floors, you could almost mistake forget the fact you’re steps away from the Third Street Promenade whenever you're dining at the Misfit. For a little over a decade, this all-day Santa Monica bar and restaurant has served one of the area’s most faithful mix of cocktails and seasonal small plates, and as of late has resumed their $23 bottomless mimosa special on the weekends with your choice of orange, pineapple or cranberry juice. At brunch, the menu leans into breakfast with French toast and huevos rancheros, but you can still find more savory, veggie-forward fare like a warm spinach and artichoke salad.

Stop by Saturdays and Sundays as early as 11am for drag brunch (doors open at 10am), where you’ll get all the glitz and glamour of a drag show, plus $45 bottomless mimosas served in the restaurant’s iconic leggy glasses. (“They’re all bottoms!”) You don’t even need to order an entrée! Just note that if you’re here for the show, there is a $6 fee per guest—a steal, if you ask us, for one of the best drag brunches in town.

There’s no better place in Koreatown for bottomless brunch than this Colombian-Korean restaurant within Chapman Plaza. The laid-back atmosphere and affordable prices have made Escala beloved among locals looking for casual dinner or a quick midday meal, but the $26 bottomless drink deal, which runs later than most others around town, is a major weekend draw. Choose between mango chili or passion fruit for your flavor as you chow down on kimchi and coconut fried rice, pork belly chilaquiles and sancocho—a hearty Colombian stew full of chicken, potatoes, yucca and plantains.

Indule in carby classics like buttermilk pancakes, brioche French toast and Belgian waffles alongside pizza, sweet crepes and an array of Benedicts. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, Della Terra also serves salads during brunch—but we’re almost certain you’re not going to a bottomless brunch for a health-conscious meal.

For $5 more, upgrade to include Bloody Marys or Bloody Marias (the latter uses tequila instead).
