Hermanito

Although Bar Hermanito deems itself to be a “bar-forward” establishment, this Sawtelle spot serves great food options like tender birria queso tacos and spicy wings covered in a nutty salsa macha. The cocktail menu includes the Myra, which comes with jalapeño-cucumber infused mezcal, fresh watermelon and spicy tajín to complement the drink’s crisp and sweet notes. Those searching for a bolder take on agave can opt for La Mala Vida, which pairs both mezcal and tequila with black walnut bitters and sea salt to round out the drink’s bright flavors.
