The LA nightlife scene is as vibrant as ever, as proven by our just-released 2013 Survey. We have everything from themed drinking spots to the best gay bars, dance clubs and karaoke kings around town, but the bar - a great watering hole - is where it all begins. We've had a lot of great new places open this year with more debuting every week, but many long-standing favorites (tiki drinks, rum bars and dives, oh my!) top our 10 Best Bars list.
