The tragically hip artsy crowd of Silver Lake like to relax in this informal bar with its long oblong bar and hanging tapestries. Black booths line one wall, while a bigger- than-life Buddha watches over the mixed crowd. Shuffle your way around the busy bar to the corner couches or back round to the jukebox, which is packed with everything from Billy Joel to Johnny Cash to the Velvet Underground.

If the need for a good old British pint grabs you whilst in LA, you could do worse than head for the Cat and Fiddle. A large outdoor patio makes it perfect place to enjoy LA’s warm summer evenings. British food is also served. Skip the Sunday dinners but the fish and chips; bangers and mash will make you feel at home.

This cash only bar has all the glamour of a seedy Hollywood dive bar, in a good way with its dark interior, larger than life bar maid and small half booths. Sports fans can enjoy Monday night football here, although at the weekends sports make way for people just talking and drinking heavily. With strong cheap drinks, and an anything goes dress code, this Los Feliz bar is direct opposite of any of the Sunset Strip bars.

Marilyn Monroe used to sit in the dark, Mandarin-themed train car booths here. The inside is so dark; it’s not surprising it used to be an old favourite for stars to sip a cocktail in relative peace. Since Marilyn’s days the bar has expanded with a bigger and better bar area and an upstairs level. Chinese cuisine is served.

Tucked out the way on the corner where Sunset and Hollywood Blvds meet, at first glance, this bar looks like another dive bar. Step inside and you’ll feel transported back in time to a Chinese opium den complete with paper lanterns, carved- dragon ceiling panels and big mirrors. Although not as cheap as some of the other Los Feliz bars, the drinks are just as strong.
