At Descanso Los Angeles, the winter season brings a new energy to the bar, where handcrafted cocktails and premium agave spirits take center stage. Located at 5773 Wilshire Boulevard in the heart of Mid-Wilshire, the restaurant’s bar program complements its Michoacán-inspired menu with balance, creativity, and authenticity. Every cocktail is made with fresh ingredients and designed to enhance the bold, fire-grilled flavors that define Descanso’s kitchen.

During the holiday months, the atmosphere at the bar shifts into something warm and festive. Guests can settle in for happy hour during the week — from 4 pm to 6 pm, Monday through Friday — or visit on weekends for brunch cocktails that feature house-made infusions and seasonal touches. The bartenders emphasize agave-based spirits, highlighting the craftsmanship behind premium tequilas and mezcals sourced from Mexico’s renowned regions. Each drink — whether it’s a smoky mezcal old fashioned or a bright, citrus-forward margarita — is crafted to match Descanso’s lively yet refined tone.
