Cole's, Originators of the French Dip

Los Angeles carries 509 bar listings on SiteCity, with the heaviest concentration in ZIP 90028, home to 34 of them. That's Hollywood proper, and it's a reasonable starting point if you're deciding where to plant yourself for a night out. From there the count drops off fast: 90026 holds 11, and several other ZIPs, including 90012, 90014, 90015, 90036, 90038, and 90013, sit closer to eight or nine each. Spreading your search across a few of these areas gives a fuller picture than sticking to one strip.

Across the city, 429 listings show a phone number and 377 link to a website, so call two or three before you head out, since hours and menus shift more often than a directory entry does. None of the current listings are marked Sponsored, a label used for paid placements, so nothing here jumped ahead for a fee. This page doesn't rank or rate any bar in Los Angeles, it just organizes what's on file. If you manage one of these spots and notice a wrong number or a dead website link, you can claim the listing and fix the details yourself.
