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

  • Restaurants
  • Mediterranean
  • West Hollywood
  • price 3 of 4

Brunch hours: Sat, Sun 11am–3pm
Bottomless: Mimosas or rosé; 90-minute limit

By night, Soulmate is a sultry, somewhat sceney date night spot that we consider one of the most romantic places in the city, but the globally inspired Spanish restaurant also does a fairly delicious brunch as well—$35 bottomless deal included. Opt for your standard mimosa or a slightly more classy rosé alongside dishes like huevos rotos with serrano ham, chorizo hash with poblano crema and the restaurant’s must-order churros served with a dark chocolate sauce.

  • Palms

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

This Palms diner is the go-to spot for affordable brunching at its finest. The $14.99 bottomless champagne special—with a mandatory entrée purchase preventing things from getting a little too wild—has long kept the casual eatery packed with Westside locals. It’s not uncommon to wait an hour or more if you’re part of a big group. As glasses are emptied, the noise level definitely ratchets up a notch, making it feel like a neighborhood bar on game day. Brioche breakfast sandwiches, eggs with lamb, and huevos divorciados—a spin on huevos rancheros, with two different sauces—are all worth a try, along with fluffy pancakes and an array of Benedicts

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, sparkling sangria or Bloody Marys for $30 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.

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

Brunch hours: Sat 11am–3pm, Sun 11am–4pm
Bottomless: Mimosas or sparkling wine

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.

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 passion fruit-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.

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.

There’s no better place in Koreatown for bottomless brunch than this Colombian-Korean restaurant within Chapma Plaza.

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.

West Hollywood isn’t exactly hurting for brunch options, but few places in the area offer both bottomless mimosas and excellent daytime cuisine. Newly remodeled, this Sunset Strip hangout offers surprisingly reasonable menu prices for the area (most brunch entrées are under $30), plus $30 bottomless mimosas with your choice of juice: OJ, guava, pomegranate or pineapple. Though the Den mostly offers polished brunch standards including steak and eggs, a breakfast burrito and an açai bowl, a few more creative dishes like fluffy ube pancakes and loco moco made with a Niman Ranch beef patty also make this boozy Sunday brunch destination stand out from the rest.

NoHo’s favorite gastropub serves a boozy brunch with bottomless mimosas for $25 (entrée purchase required). The best part about the place? It’s located in a former bank built in the 1920s, which means the brick walls and pressed copper roof tiles make this cozy spot the perfect place to imbibe on an overcast day—just make sure that you sop up some of that booze with a selection from the cozy menu: There’s the breakfast poutine, and the buttermilk flapjacks that taste like a little slice of home.

We’ll be honest: The brunch fare at this Culver City bistro likely won’t impress the Francophiles in your life, but the $22 bottomless drink deal will probably soften the blow of eating chicken and waffles or a tostada bowl at a French restaurant. The kitchen sink mix of breakfast dishes, sandwiches, salads and a few staples like steak frites and onion soup offers a little bit of something for everyone, and the restaurant’s charming patio forms the perfect backdrop for a little day drinking.
