Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt is the L.A. spot that seamlessly fuses Southern charm with the city's eclectic buzz. This cocktail haven invites you into its cozy embrace with lush money green walls and warm brown leather accents. A stone's throw away from Historic Filipinotown, Echo Park, and DTLA, it's where Southern hospitality meets modern mixology. The place thrives on originality, crafting cocktails that are as inventive as they are inviting. Think of sipping a "Liquid Picnic" while basking in the laid-back vibes, or savoring the signature Tart Cherry Thunderbolt, a delightful concoction of overproof Jamaican rum and tart cherries.

At Thunderbolt, the menu is a testament to creativity, featuring not only seasonal cocktails but also canned favorites for those on the go. The bar's Southern-inspired food offerings are equally enticing, with their biscuits earning a special nod. It’s a spot that prides itself on sustainability, leveraging technology to ensure every drink is crafted to perfection.
