Las Perlas West Hollywood

Anyone who’s spent time drinking in Downtown knows about Las Perlas, the fantastic Oaxacan cantina with over 450 agave spirits that’s been going strong since 2010. There’s now a second location in West Hollywood that’s every bit as fun. With a good-sized bar area and back patio, this is the kind of place that works just as well for rowdy groups on the weekend as it does for casual mid-week drinks with a coworker. The cocktails are fantastic (we love the strong kick from the Spiced Daisy), there’s a daily Happy Hour from 5-8pm, and live music on Friday nights. Whatever you do though, be sure to order some food, which is currently being run by Moderno Cocina Libre in the patio. You can’t go wrong with any of the tacos (the tortillas are all made in- house), but the chicharron is some of the best we’ve ever had.
