The Cigar and Whiskey Bar at The Maybourne

The Maybourne has a few spots to pull up for a cocktail, but for something more experiential, a night at the Cigar and Whiskey Bar is a must. This reservation-only bar is hidden on the second floor (you get escorted up a secret back staircase, such drama!) with over 1,000 cigars in stock, plus a thick booklet of whiskies broken down by country. There’s a $100 per person minimum, but considering some premium two-ounce drams can go for up to $600, that won’t be a difficult number to hit. Grab something off the cocktail list as well—the honey and ginger-infused Penicillin is excellent.

You'll probably spot some celebrities at Chateau Marmont, but you'll also get a well-made drink.

This Sunset Strip staple is a complete scene and completely worth it.

The Polo Lounge seems like one of those classic Old Hollywood spots, but the food and the scene are awful. There are better places for star sightings.
