Time Out says

Located in the old office of Marilyn Monroe’s talent agent, this tiny craft cocktail bar on the Sunset Strip serves impeccably crafted drinks named for nearby L.A. icons. There’s a clarified paloma rosé spritz inspired by the Beverly Hills Hotel and a pisco and passion fruit ode to the Viper Room—and given the good-for-the-area prices ($18–22 for house specialties, $16 for classics), it’s no surprise Bar Next Door fills up nightly with drinkers enjoying the vintage reel-to-reel sound system and neighborhood watering hole atmosphere. Arrive early to claim a booth for you and a friend, or come later on to watch the youngish see-and-be-seen crowd collide with locals of all ages ending their night with a well-made nightcap.

“Drink or Treat?” at Bar Next Door

Halloween doesn’t have to mean waiting in line for a nightclub or spending $90 on a one-and-done costume. At WeHo’s Bar Next Door on Sunset Boulevard, the festivities stretch all month long with a vintage-inspired “Drink or Treat?” takeover featuring spooky cocktails, themed game nights and hidden black cats. Sip a Basic Witch, a Haku vodka concoction with matcha, pumpkin spice cold foam and oat milk, or try the Luna de Sangre, a tequila cocktail topped with blood-orange ginger beer and a red wine float. Every Monday brings Halloween-themed trivia, old-school games, movie marathons and prizes, while four black cats hidden around the bar offer a bonus mystery shot to anyone who finds them all. There are also $10 candy bags—because paying $10 is a lot easier than having to knock on your neighbors’ doors.
